So i am back in the good ol' USofA. My three week vacation is full of great things to do and visits with the people i love, but man, i cannot get behind the pace of the country!! I have finally gotten some rest and relaxation the past two days after a weekend of "installment 1" of Bethzaida's bachelorette party! It is not as strange as I would have thought to be back here, but there are some things that I am having a hard time adjusting to.
1. The amount of meat and strange spices i am eating is doing crazy things to my intestinal tract (sorry for being so forthcoming!). I am having more "problems" here than when i first went to africa! I think my body misses plain rice and beans!
2. Wow we use a lot of water and electricity! I had the hardest time taking my first shower here. The faucet made it impossible to turn the water off and on between shampooing and rinsing and I couldn't handle it.
I am so excited to be seeing everyone and have love, love, loved watching college football and basketball. Next on the agenda is my big bro's wedding on saturday (yay!!!) and then sacramento for Thanksgiving. I am so happy to be home for my favorite holiday!!
For now, i am just enjoying drinking some good beer and bloody marys and enjoying the company of mom and dad and good friends!!! I hope that i get to see all of you, but if not, know that i am in the home stretch... a little more than half a year and I'll be back in the country for good (well, we'll see about that, but at least for a little while!!).
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to all and you'll be hearing from me soon, back in africa and happy about my lack of water and electricity!!!
