1 Month Home

Wow. I can't believe I have already been home for one month! At the same time it also feels like it's been forever since I left Ethiopia. I got a great job that I love working as a lead teacher in a childcare center, and am back in school! I found a roommate, and will be moving into our apartment at the end of the month! And I have taken a shower EVERY DAY! (except one). It is crazy how things seemed to just fall into place for me. I applied to the job while I was still in Africa, and am so happy that it worked out! A friend who I had known when I lived here before works with me, and her roommate is moving out soon, and she need someone to live with her... I am so in! I am excited to be here, and am starting to feel like a real, responsible adult ;)

I miss Africa though. A lot. I miss my kids. I miss my friends. I miss my coffee ;) And even Ethiopian food. Good thing I have a 7 year old Ethiopian buddy who misses injera more than I do, and is always up for a trip to spokane for some lunch! I still love walking down the street, and no one calling out to me. And I love being able to jump in my car and go wherever I want. And I love having ice and tap water at my disposal.

I miss Deanna like crazy. :) She is the best travel buddy ever!

Now that life is starting to settle down, I am going to try to keep my blog updated as much as possible! I miss my little blog!
