Here is a brief update of our 2017.
It was a “rocky
start” for us. The herniated discs in Greg’s lower spine worsened. He
ended up having back surgery in May. We were slow-going for awhile, however, with physio appointments and at-home stretches and strengthening exercises, Greg is much improved.
Career-wise, I transitioned to working for the local School Board as a Speech Language Pathologist. I'm currently stationed at 3 different schools, and enjoy the variety of working with preschool and elementary/primary aged children. The School Holidays will be a bonus, too! 😉
Hurricane Irma pummeled through the Caribbean and into Florida in September. We
evacuated our house and drove up to Alabama to wait it out. It was a bit nerve
racking waving goodbye to our house and not knowing what it would look like
when we got back. Fortunately, the storm veered to the right and avoided a
direct hit in our area. Our hearts go out to all those who did
not fare so well.
We visited the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in
Tennessee for a second time. This place holds a special place in our hearts. I also spent one week exploring the beautiful Australian state of Tasmania with my Mum. We experienced some of the clearest waters, cleanest air,
untouched nature and the most diverse geography. Tassie is bloody beautiful, mate!

To top the year off, I officially became a dual Australian-American Citizen. After 4 long years
the wait (and paperwork!) has finally come to an end and a new chapter begins. You can read more about this in my next post. 😊
Have a great week!
