1 YEAR, can you believe it!
Some days I think, “wow, I can not believe it’s been a year”, and other days I think, “It feels way longer than only 1 year”
Yes, 1 year indeed. On the 1st May 2008, Chris and I took the plunge, boarded a flight to New York and started our brand new lives as US Residents.
I’m not going to lie to you, it’s been a hell of a year, with lot’s of laughs, tears, frustration, joy, amazement, basically, an emotional roller coaster!

1 year ago....
We started our journey in New York..
Were lucky enough to have had Fred and Lorraine to guide us and provide a base and a home in the first days of our arrival....
Fred and I
Lorraine and I
Bought our first car (in the USA)...
Took a 6000 mile road trip up the West Coast....
Decided to settle down in Denver...
Found an Apartment....
I re-joined the SAP world
we bought our 2nd car...
Chris discovered the world of Banking with Wells Fargo
Discovered what Colorado has to offer, hiking, rock climbing, skiing
and experienced our first real snow fall ...
then bought our first house in the USA...
and built our first snow man in our own back yard
and let’s not forget, most importantly, made new friends....
Mel, Jen and I
Me and Tracie
Chris and Steve (far right)
Our first Thanksgiving meal, with Melissa,Art, little Hanna and Kyle
My amazing Canadian friend, Melissa
Our amazing neighbours, Doug and Amy, Chris and I, Todd and Cassie and Scott and Christina
Our new South African friends, Iwan and Chris
Liezl and I
Lastly, I decided to leave the SAP world and join the entrepreneurial world...
Looking back, I am so proud of what Chris and I have accomplished in only 1 year. I am so excited to see what we the future holds and the new experiences awaiting us.
After all, “Life’s a Journey, Not a Destination!”
