September Already

Where has the time gone?  We have just returned from an incredible holiday in Ottawa which luckily lasted almost 7 weeks for Maya and I!  Still very jet lagged and sleep-deprived, but eager to update all the crazy events which have occurred in our life. 
Most importantly - we bought a house!  OK, well, I sort of bought a house and then Jared saw it and luckily loved it as well.  We are over the moon about everything this house has to offer and can't wait to move in next year.  Thankfully, after much stress, the house is also rented for the duration of our time left here in Jakarta.  Things are really falling into place. 
We had a great holiday in Ottawa.  There is something so amazing about Canada in the summer which we realized we've missed incredibly.  The patios, long days, cottages, BBQs, swimming pools, get togethers with friends ... the list goes on and on.  You know you've had a great holiday when you come home with an extra 6 lbs of weight! 
So here we are back in J-Town with less than a year to go!  A year in which we hope to take advantage of the amazing perks of living abroad and discover new places.  Meet new friends and unfortunately have to say good-bye to others.
