We are One Concert Washington DC
With 500,000 of our closest friends, my cousin Rand and I listened to everyone from Bruce Springstein to U2. A day of unbelievable energy and pride to be an American.

Taking Stock and Ringing in the Summer
We are all doing great in Pristina. Adi is just about to finish up 1st grade and still loves his school. Very active in sports now but enjoys art and board games (oh of course legos). Rea's school is incredible with so much experiential learning and she is completely bi-lingual already. Always trying to follow her bother and talking about going with him on the bus so we think after 1 more year they will join up. Pranvera's project is making great headway with it's daily political changes and politics within the US government (don't we all know). I have been blessed with back to back client work and simultaneous projects with 2 now in Kosovo (and possibly a third win coming). I will be off to Thailand for a 3 week partnership this summer so make sure to prioritize the kids and family when I am in town.
We should be getting a couple American visitors this summer passing through our neck of the woods and we would love to show anyone else our little place in paradise;-)

In the Beginning...
Welcome to the interactive version of the Dirthead Diaries. For those of you new to the DH Diaries, they began back in 1998 during my one year of traveling throughout Southeast Asia. Back then they were rather lengthy, yet entertaining, email accounts of my trials and tribulations from living the life of a backpacker. Since then, anytime I have lived or traveled overseas for a sustained period of time (ie France, Jordan), I have continued the tradition of updating my friends and family on life abroad via the internet. My two year assignment working on a private sector economic development project based in Pristina, Kosovo saw the Dirthead Diaries go blog to record all the adventures. Who would have thought it would have launched me on the greatest adventure of all marrying the love of my life, Pranvera, and moving back to the States to start our family with Adrian Samuel arriving around Christmas time, 2009. We hope you enjoy this interactive journal of our lives designed to share what is going on with the Kirkbride family with all our friends and family spread far and wide across the world.

Hey man - wish I could have been there. I had a blast at the (unofficial) US Embassy Obama inaugural ball here in Jakarta!
