Indoor/outdoor gym

When the weather is nice, gotta take the indoor gym…outdoor.

Morning PT

0645 PT with the marines to start the week. Although I’m not sure running through the thick smog while being chased by stray dogs are my cup of tea. But I wouldn’t change a thing.

New year. Still eating.

She barely ate. But she was excited about something…

Thirteen Christmas gifts

Walkie-talkies. Gotta teach her how to use a radio early!

Skopje Ice Rink

The one and only ice rink in town. And for whatever reason, no one knows about this rink. And those who know (mostly middle school/high school kids) love to smoke while skating.

Thankful

Very thankful for the sweet gym setup we have at home. It’s the little thing that counts the most.

The fight

We all fight our own hidden battles. What’s important is that no matter the consequence, it’s how we fight that matters the most.

$7

After two months, I finally got my car! Quite an achievement to say the least.

And a detailed cleaning…all for $7.

First HH since…2015?

I don’t exactly recall when I last had an office HH. But tonight was the night - 3 mins drive from the embassy. The pub was fantastic with great food and drinks.

The legendary meat platter - all for $20.

private property

It’s been a super busy week at work. A few threats, cables, and a bunch of meetings later, I’m ready to lift heavy again.

Anyway, here are some night pictures of our neighborhood.

Spent the morning volunteering at the homeless shelter.

Indoor smoking

It’s becoming apparent that indoor dining means dining with those who smoke…indoors. We need to start looking for dining options that ban indoor smoking.

But cigarettes didn’t stop us from enjoying our meal.

Home Gym!

Home gym is here! Sort of my dream come true. Needs to find ways to decorate, but I’m super stoked. Spent hours in the gym working out and just hanging out in general.

And two time-lapses of setting up the gym. You can see that Romi has been an excellent helper.
