2018 was another whirlwind year of travel, adventures, and another journey towards expanding our family.
Early this year, we got our Australian Permanent Residency after what seemed like a never-ending process of paperwork, logistics and setbacks.
We made our yearly trip to the US a little earlier this year, mostly so we could attend Ben's sister's spring wedding. We had an amazing time celebrating in Washington, and then Arden and I made a trip to the midwest to visit our family in Michigan.
Other travels this year included a visit to Singapore to meet up with my mom and see a fun new city, and most recently a trip to Tasmania where we had an amazing time visiting beautiful places and seeing lots of Australian wildlife up close.
We're also expecting our second child this year, which we are very excited about. I've been doing pregnancy updates through a vlog series, which you can check out below. Some new updates:
-We're having a boy!
-This pregnancy I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, which has been a big lifestyle change for me - but over the past month I've grown very accustomed to checking my blood sugar and injecting myself with insulin, which aren't pleasant things to do, but I'm fairly used to it now.
2018 was a challenging, adventurous and wonderful year for us, and we're looking forward to seeing what 2019 has in store for our little family.
Hope you had/are having a wonderful holiday season!
-Ben, Candice and Arden
