The Foltice Family Blog: Happy (Belated) New Year from the Foltice Family

It has been quite a 2012. Despite a frustrating move to Münster in May and a difficult pregnancy for Dana, we were blessed with a great year, including the addition of our new linebacker, Brady.

We spent Christmas in Maryland, and have somehow lived to tell about our travels to and from. My blood pressure rises even at the thought of traveling with our two kids, but they were great. We spent about 10 days in America, enough time for everyone to get on a good sleep schedule right before leaving.

Needless to say, it was great spending time with family and eating so much that we hated ourselves. *This was stolen from a Louis CK comedy bit, but was still useful when I said, ‘I was full 10 minutes ago. Now I have eaten so much that I hate myself.’ It didn’t help that they had an accessible scale to weigh myself. Why do I torture myself like this? With no basketball this season, it is a slippery slope.

Anyways, after living in Germany for over two years and feeling pretty comfortable with day-to-day life in Europe, it was actually a culture shock to visit America! I hope to expound on this in a later post, but it was really strange feeling that both Dana and I felt.

We made in back to Germany Sunday afternoon (Dec. 30^th) after an overnight flight. On New Year’s Eve, Dana and I actually stayed awake past midnight (the first time in a few years.) Our jet lag actually helped us witness the best fireworks display we have ever seen from our balcony.

I am back to work as of today (Wednesday) and Dylan goes back to kindergarten next Monday. We are really excited about what 2013 has in store for us. We hope you have a great New Year.

Making a resolution to write more blog posts in the New Year,

Bryan (and Dana)
