Getting Personal

So my sister tells me that certain posts are starting to get somewhat “awkward” do to the fact that I often refer to a vague “we” in them without providing more detail. In my defense, I’ve always been someone who likes to keep his personal life “personal” and, to be honest, the thought of posting personal stuff on a blog that is accessible to the world (at least in theory) is a bit unsettling.

Though traffic to my website is almost exclusively friends and family, you’d be surprised at the random visitors I get. Believe it or not, I’ve had “strangers” from countries such as Germany, Singapore, Russia, Finland, Japan, Switzerland, the U.K. and Vietnam. And within the U.S., they’ve come from Minnesota, Texas, Missouri, South Carolina and Oregon.

But I digress. Oh yes…the original purpose of the post…well for those of you who aren’t already aware, the “we” is a reference to my girlfriend Emilie. She is from France, but lives in Lausanne and I met her not long after I arrived in Switzerland. She’s fluent in English – hence why I’m not fluent in French…yet (I hope). Here’s a picture from a recent day of x-country skiing in France.

Apologies for the Cliff notes version, but one can only open up so much in one sitting. Babysteps…
