I'm back in Sofia, and looking back on my Spring Break, I cannot believe what a person can fit into such a short period of time!
Lu and Kath arrived in Belgium on April 2nd. We celebrated and pampered ourselves for a few days before getting on the road to Gretna Green. I think we were all happy that we pampered ourselves as the roadtrip (both ways) was not as exciting as was originally billed (by me). But, Lu and Kath being the extraordinary friends they are, accepted their travel accommodations with a smile and no complaint. Our trip home from Gretna was long, with traffic jams that slowed us down. The Jeep also was acting up, which caused some stress. We all appreciated Colin's patience as our 8 and 1/2 hour-long trip turned into 17 hours!!
On April 6th, Colin and I met up with our parents and my sister Shelley who arrived into Scotland before us. My parents and sister travelled for a few days prior to arriving at Gretna Green, while Colin's parents landed in Glasgow and then took a train directly into Gretna Green. It was wonderful meeting Colin's parents for the first time and catching up with my family. We were able to spend some quality time together over three days and see some of the sites at Gretna Green.
On April 8th, Colin and I got married. The day is all a bit of a blur, but we enjoyed every minute and especially were happy to celebrate our marriage with our closest family and friends. We look forward to receptions that will be held in the US and Canada in late summer to celebrate with even more of you!
On Sunday, April 12th, I sadly said goodbye to Colin at the Brussels airport. I am back to work and Spring Break is a distant memory, but one that I'll cherish in the years to come!
