So, been back home for about a month now! Let me explain. No...there is too much. Let me sum up:
The last few weeks at the office were spent finishing off things, packing up, and saying goodbye to all the lovely people I was blessed to work with this past year! The flight home was long but uneventful. My sister met me at the airport with a GIANT sunflower balloon! It was truly epic. Then she drove me home to our family's new house, where I had a mattress on the floor in my room and that was it.
I should explain this part. Back in August, my parents put an offer in on a house about six miles down the road from where we used to live. After they closed, they were going to take a while to paint the new house and move in as rooms were finished. That was before some people we know from church needed a place to live after a tree fell on their house from the hurricane. Also, to make matters more interesting, our old house's basement flooded. So, my parents started moving stuff from the main floor of our old house so the family could move in...which happened to be three days after I got home. My room was in the basement...luckily it didn't get flooded too bad.
So anyway, after I got home it was all packing and painting and moving and craziness for a few weeks. It was really difficult not living in the old house. On top of all that, I decided to have a get-together for my supporters in the area this past Saturday, and mom said we should have it at the new house! So basically I was busy painting and trying to get the house ready. Now that the party's over and I'm a bit more settled in, I feel like I can focus on re-connecting with people and start setting up meetings to keep my support going so I can go back to England in January. I also am trying to line up a temp job to help earn a little extra cash and get me out of the house a bit. I will miss sleeping in every day (!) but its time to get back to work!
Anyway, that's about it for now. Tune in next time to hear Rachel say...
