All things considered, 2016 was a wonderful year for us - full of adventure, excitement, and love. Together we moved, we traveled, we learned, and we grew. And that's more than either of us asked for when 2016 started (we were just hoping for a bit of adventure). So on this first day of 2017, I'm wildly optimistic about the days to come.
And to top it all off, I got lucky with work and was able to fly back to Dubai for Christmas. With all the hustle of the last couple months, it was really nice to just relax at home with my two loves.

But as airline tickets go, I had to fly back to Seattle on New Years Eve. I was bracing myself for a rather long and uncomfortable flight in coach but ended up getting a complimentary upgrade to business.

| The flight was so fantastic it might have ruined me forever. |
On a 14+ hour flight it made a huge difference. After a couple glasses of rose champagne and an excellent breakfast, I was sound asleep on the flat-folding seat. I slept a total of 8 hours (two 4hr spurts) and it was blissful.
I felt so good when I landed in Seattle, that I dropped off my luggage and went to buy a car. I've been obsessively searching for months and I knew the exact one I wanted. One $75 Lyft ride (OMG), and 3 hours later - Happy New Year to me!

After all the car buying excitement, I got home around 10:30pm on New Years Eve. And I rang in the new year like this:
Happy New Year to you all. Love you.
