Most of us, me included, can barely think past the next three minutes. We operate in this fear of lack, lack of good or sleep or money, that completely ignores the long arc of our life which gives us decades of evidence that we havenโt gone without yet, and all trend lines point to us being fine in the future.
Thatโs one of the elements of marriage I love so much.
In marriage youโre forced - by its very nature - to acknowledge that your life is far bigger than this three minute period of stress and anxiety weโre currently facing - in fact we have a whole life ahead of us, and considering that big picture, itโd be great to have someone else in it.
Iโm so glad I got over myself long enough to realise that my big picture was missing you, Britt, thank you for making it so much better by simply being you.
Happy 11th anniversary xx

We’re packing and getting ready for our homeward journey tonight in Paris. We’ve got three flights left, and the longest ones just earned us a text message from Qantas letting us know that the four of us had been upgraded to business class (RIP my points balance). We’ve got a few nights in Singapore left and it’s back to the Southern Gold Coast after almost a year away.
So because I’m a big nerd, these are our family travel stats since we left home last September and listed our home on Airbnb:

๐ท๐ฎ๐น๐๏ธ Family day at the beach at Cala Maka. The beach is apparently/allegedly called Torre Canne Nord Prima della Casa Grigia, which translated from Italian means, North Canne Tower Before the Gray House, which is the most romantic beach name I’ve ever read.
Good luck ever naming a beach better than that.
Thought I would check on the two-year-old before going to bed …

We can dance if we want to. We can leave your friends behind. Cause your friends don’t dance, and if they don’t dance, well, they’re no friends of mine.
