i have been back in country now for a little over 2 weeks. my time at home was a whirlwind of a time. i wish i could have had the time to see more of you...time was definitely too short. as busy as it was, i enjoyed so much being HOME! i loved meeting and being with my adorable nephew. i loved driving my car. i loved the variety of good western food. i loved sundays at Sandals! i loved seeing my Sandals peeps! i loved seeing my friends! i loved time in the california sun! i loved being with the ritzes in TX! i loved meeting all my friends' new babies (christian, julia, ava, ethan, ava f, phoenix, jayden, and jaden)! i loved the flores' guest bedroom! i loved staying with the Jovens! i can go on and on!
it has definitely been harder transitioning in the second time around. one of the realities of living overseas is the "revolving door" issue. people come and go so often. the first couple of days back, i had to say goodbye to a friend on my team, who was following L's leading back in canada. this next week, one of my roommates will also be going back to the states. it has been really hard for me to accept this reality. good, close friends are hard to find. my roommate, chrissy, has been one of my biggest cheerleaders and support this last year. there may be several days of tears after she leaves next week! :(
it is hard for me to look ahead in the midst of all of this change and transition. i am choosing to trust and follow hard after Him, clinging on tightly to the Truth and Love that has been given me!

Yay, a blog post from you! It was great to see you while you were here. Sorry it's been harder coming back this time. I'll be talking to L on your behalf :)
Glad to hear from you. We'll keep talking to Him for you.
:0)
It was SOOO great to see you for the short time. I think of you everyday (almost always between 10 and 5 and then think...dang it!)
Even though friends are leaving I hope that others come along. If they only knew how cool you were!!
It was so fun to see you this last summer. The "revolving door" can be so hard (good-bys NEVER get easier...) but the wonderful thing about that door, is that you get to welcome a whole new bunch of friends! our love to you as you patiently adapt once again.
