Czesc!
My dopiero co wrocilismy z New Jersey gdzie mieszka wiekszosc rodziny Majka na czele z seniorka rodu, czyli babcia Basia. Wygoscilismy sie za wszystkie czasy... Wigilia u jednej cioci, Boze Narodzenie u drugiej cioci, po swietach spotkanie rodzinne u trzeciej cioci Majka... Spacery, obiadki, zakupy z babcia, ktora byla przeszczesliwa nasza obecnoscia w New Jersey i byla bardzo smutna kiedy musielismy juz wyjezdzac do Minnesoty. Odwiedzilismy takze Nowy Jork, gdzie mielismy do zalatwienia sprawe w konsulacie polskim. Wyjechalismy z domu obladowani bagazami i prezentami i tak tez wrocilismy do domu, poniewaz dostalismy mnostwo prezentow. Podsumowujac byl to bardzo aktywny i wesoly czas spedzony z rodzina! Nie obylo sie oczywiscie bez polskich potraw, ktore ja przygotowalam. Z racji tego, ze dopiero co wrocilismy do domu nic szczegolnego nie zaplanowalismy na Sylwestra... Chce nam sie po prostu odpoczac... Zjedlismy kolacje, wypilismy kieliszek musujacego wina, potem goraca kapiel i cieple lozeczko. U nas zima na calego. W domu cieplutko, a za oknem -20 stopni Celsjusza i snieg.
Jesli chodzi o podsumowanie roku 2017... to oczywiscie dzialo sie mnostwo! Z reszta jakby moglo byc inaczej? U nas zawsze dzieje sie strasznie duzo, na szczescie sa to dobre rzeczy, ale czasami za duzo i za szybko! 😃 Wyjazdy, podroze, przeprowadzki, szkola, praca.... ehh czasami jestem tym juz zmeczona i chcialabym zebysmy troche zwolnili tempo zycia... ale z naszymi pomyslami nie jest latwo 😁 W tym minionym juz roku zaczelam studia w Stanach i wytrwalam na tych studiach juz rowno rok... Nie wiem kiedy to zlecialo! Zostal mi jeszcze rok! Kupilismy kolejny dom... Zaliczylismy wyjazd na Key West na slub, cioci Majka, potem komunie mojego brata Michala w Polsce, potem moj maz wyjechal do Teksasu i na Floryde do pracy z FEMA w zwiazku ze strasznymi huraganami, ktore mialy miejsce w tym roku w USA, a ja go tam odwiedzalam co mogliscie sledzic na blogu... Moja szkola, a szczegolnie drugi semestr byl bardzo intensywny! W wakacje 2017 oczywiscie odwiedzila nas moja mama i brat. Pozaczynalismy jeszcze troche nowych rzeczy, ale dopoki nie sa one zakonczone to nie wspominam o nich na blogu... Ze smutnych rzeczy to zmarl moj dziadek Henryk. No jak widzicie... Rutyny nie ma, ciagle cos sie dzieje 😁 Dlatego w Nowym Roku zycze sobie troche wiecej spokoju i rutyny, moze nawet mniej podrozy, chociaz wiem, ze to dziwnie zabrzmi bo ludzie zazwyczaj chca podrozowac! ale ja mam juz dosc samolotow, dlugich godzin w podrozy, pakowania, wydawania ogromnych ilosci pieniedzy itp... mala przerwa dobrze nam zrobi! :)
A Wam Kochani zycze przede wszystkim duzo zdrowia, spokoju wewnetrznego i sukcesow w zyciu prywantym i zawodowym, a wtedy juz bedziecie tak szczesliwi, ze nic Wam wiecej nie bedzie potrzeba! :)
SZCZESLIWEGO NOWEGO ROKU 2018!

Hi!
We just came back from New Jersey where most of Mike's family lives. The head of the family- grandma Barbara also lives in New Jersey. We had such a great time there! We spent Christmas Eve at one aunt's house, Christmas at the other aunt's place, and then after Christmas we had a family meeting at the third aunt's house... We were walking, having dinners, and shopping with grandma. She was very happy to have us there, and she was so sad when we had to leave for Minnesota. We also visited New York where we had to take care of something in Polish consulate. We left house with a lot of luggage and Christmas gifts and we came back also with lot of stuff because I got so many gifts from family. It was a very active and happy family time! We of course enjoyed Polish dishes that I prepared. We did not plan anything special for New Year's Eve since we just got back home and we really want to rest... We ate supper, drank some sparkling wine, took hot bath and then went to warm bed. We have a full winter here! House is warm but it is -20 Celsius behind the window.
Let's say something about 2017... of course a lot of things was going on! How could it be different? We always have a lot of things going on but thankfully those are good things, but sometimes it is too much and too fast! 😊Traveling, moving, school, work... ehh sometimes I would like to slow down a little bit, but we always get so many ideas that it is difficult to slow down! 😀 Last year I started American college and I spent there already one year! I do not know when this time has passed! I have one more year to go. We bought another house... We flew to Key West for Mike's aunt wedding, then we went to Poland for my brother first communion, and then my husband got deployed with FEMA to Texas and Florida in connection to very bad hurricanes that United States got this year where I was visiting him what you could follow on blog.., My school and especially the second semester were very intense! Of course my mom and my brother visited us during the summer of 2017. We also started some new things in 2017, but they are not finished yet so I am not mentioning anything on blog... The most sad part of 2017 was death of my grandfather Henryk... As you can see we do not have a routine in our life... Always something😀 That's why in 2017 I wish myself more peace and routine and maybe less traveling... I know that it does sound strange, but I am tired of planes, long hours on way, packing, spending huge amounts of money etc... I need a break! :)
I wish you all a lot of good health. peace and success in your personal and work life, and then you will be that much happy that you will not need anything else! :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018!
