Ski Week Begins
Topic: My Family| No Comments »Ever since we arrived here in Budapest, the counsel that we have received from the staff that have been overseas for a long time is that one of the strategies for surviving here for the long haul is to make winter FUN! The best way that they have found to do this is to go skiing each year. They said that it developed great memories for their families and it gave them something to look forward to in the long, dark, cold winters. In fact, most of these families are “empty nesters” now and their kids still come back to Budapest each Christmas and many times they still go skiing together.
I loved skiing growing up so I’ve wanted to go ever since we arrived, but we never had the time or the money. This year the Lord provided the funds for us to go and so we are so excited.
We are going to western Austria to a town called Kirchdorf. We have a small apartment in this village. Three other families are going to be there with us so it should be a lot of fun. The kids will be in ski school for the week and Valerie will probably take a couple of lessons herself. It is killing me that I won’t be able to ski. I’ll be searching for good coffee shops and high speed internet while everyone else is skiing. I’ll look forward to evenings together with good food and games. It willalso be nice to have a little change of scenery as the walls of the house are closing in on me.
I’ll try to give you updates if I can find some internet access. Otherwise, you won’t hear from me until Jan 7th.
Happy New Year!!
