Has it already been nine months since we have returned home from our trip around the world? Hard to believe that I have been back home in Chicago as long as I was away.

And when I start to feel the memories slip away, I harness the same energy that we had on our trip into doing fun things back in the states. I try to look through pictures weekly and read through old blog posts when I am feeling nostalgic … it helps.
