I'm here in Edinburgh and it's nearly Christmas day. It's a bit surreal being away from home, in Scotland, and with just the girls. Our apartment is amazing and it took no time making it into our own little home. It's impressive how grown up we can be; making arrangements, finding our way here from all over Europe, grocery shopping, making delicious meals and managing to find space for all 10 girls in a flat designed for six. It hasn't been completely perfect (it never is) but that's what makes the time we spend together so enjoyable. We make plans, change plans, meet new people and try our best to live life in the moment. Most of all it makes me appreciate everyone here and everyone at home so much more. It breaks my heart not to be in my own bed on Christmas Eve and to not spend Christmas day at the Rice's but at the same time I can't imagine a more interesting, unique or special way to spend my 21st Christmas.
Will be updating you shortly with my revised travel plans that will take me up through Italy from Rome and ending in Paris before coming home. But for now all I have to say is Merry Christmas, I love you all and hope that you enjoy the day with the loved ones around you.
