Hard to believe that its been a month since I completed my post contract travels and returned to the U.S. of A. Over all its been great being back. The transition was smooth, despite resistance that I felt prior to my Asian departure. Its felt really good, and so far I haven’t been missing Korea nearly as much as anticipated (but feel like that day will come sooner than later).
Here are some of the highlights of the last month:
1.
Who would have guessed that my number one highlight since being back has been Dan? He met me at the airport with the most beautiful bouquet I’ve ever seen and its continued up hill since then. He is fantastic. Being apart for so long I half forgot how amazing it feels to be together.
2.
Rachel & Mike’s Wedding.
One of the reasons why I came home when I did was to witness the marriage of high school best friend Rachel to her honey Mike. They are such a great couple, and it was such a great wedding!
3.
A week in beautiful Tennessee with my mom!
After two weeks in Asia with my dad I had to get in some mom time. So, the two of us headed to the Tennessee Glades for a week of soaking in the most fantastically gorgeous fall I can remember. It was the first time mom and I had taken a vacation together. Lots of heart to hearts. It felt good.
4.
Catching up with friends! Most notably:
Dory!
My 8 hours with Lindsey.
Weekly visits with the Bolts.
Chicago trip with a little Eileen, Erik, and a Gavin fix.
WHATS NEXT? Lots to look forward to in the near future…
My 26th birthday on Saturday, a 55 hour train ride to San Francisco, Thanksgiving! with Mona!, Seattle visit, Happy Camp @ Martha’s with Dan…and much, much more.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
