How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before it’s afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon? - Dr.Seuss

Addie arrived here in AmSam in mid-January for her seven-week stay. There were so many events looming ahead of us that seemed so far off back then (my birthday, Valentine’s Day, a couple three day weekends due to national holiday’s, Addie going to New Zealand, Fiji for Spring Break). We’ve just arrived back from Fiji and it’s like where the heck did all that time go? 

Addie’s time here sped by so very quickly. I wanted her to enjoy herself and was worried because I thought that she might get bored on a tiny island for seven weeks.  Turned out that seven weeks was the perfect amount of time. We were busy every weekend, the three of us got into a cooking, weekend routine, a workout routine and still had enough time to relax and not feel rushed.

We showed Addie our favorite spots, discovered new spots together and she even introduced us to new things. It gave us a whole new appreciation for the island.

It was great bonding time with the little sis as I haven’t lived with her in so many years. Poor Saul had to share a house and a bathroom with two girls but we both loved having her here and miss her dearly!

Now we’re in the final stretch of our time here in AmSam and trying to figure out what the next step is. All we know is that traveling will be part of the equation and the rest is still up in the air!
