Eric on the back porch of our cabin on our honeymoon (the first one) in Blueridge, GA. June 2014

We’re a couple of North Carolinians off on an adventure to Panamá.  We’ve been saying that the goal is a year, but the more we discuss our hopes for this trip, the more we try to let go of our expectations, tear our eyes away from our calendars, and recognize what an incredible opportunity we have in front of us.  If we love our new temporary home, we’ll hang out there for a while.  If it doesn’t suit us, you may see us back in Raleigh sooner than you expected.  And either way, it will be the right thing for the Paris family.

Wish us luck, ’cause here we go!
