Hi everyone!

As most of you know, Ray has accepted a 2-year assignment with Toyota's European Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. For those of you who do not know, Belgium is located next to France, Germany and the Netherlands. The home of NATO and the European Union, it is considered the "gateway to Europe" with its easy access to many European countries. (Hint, hint--good excuse to come and visit!)

Ray started his new position in February, 2008. The girls and I arrived here in late March. We are living just outside the city of Brussels in the commune of Tervuren, Belgium.

Although we are sad to temporarily leave our family and friends, we are excited for this adventure. What an opportunity to leave our tiny box and experience life outside of America!

A ball of a time at the Colonial Palace!


This past Friday night, I had the opportunity to attend a Christmas Ball at the Colonial Palace (part of the Royal Museum for Central Africa) right here in our "hometown" of Tervuren...


The ball was a charity event sponsored by St. Paul's Church of Tervuren where the proceeds were to be allocated to such worthy causes as the International Justice Mission and ReTrak...

It was an elegant affair where where we enjoyed cocktails, appetizers, a 3-course meal, and live entertainment.


Our lively table of friends enjoyed a fun-filled evening of good food, drink and lots of dancing!
