It’s been almost two years since I last posted on this blog. I would like to pick it up again, but I think it’s fair to explain where I’ve been.
Why haven’t I been posting? Because life happened.
Cancer Diagnosis
In the Spring of 2024, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. As you can imagine, that changed my life. Following a lumpectomy, a full mastectomy, and a reconstructive surgery, I am now cancer-free. I was still able to travel during my cancer journey, and I have lots to talk about; I just didn’t have the mental energy to write blog posts while I was going through all of that.
New Job
Additionally, in the summer of 2025, I got a new job. I am still teaching, but at a different level and in a different context. I have been spending the past months learning to do this new job and acclimate to my new responsibilities. As the school year winds down, I feel settled enough to take on the task of blogging more.
So, fingers crossed, I can devote time to chronicling our adventures of the past two years.
It’s good to be back!
