The Glorious US of A!

Well I’m finally home.


I love my family and friends so much…they all met me at the airport with signs and everything and had a surprise party for me the next day with all my closest friends from school. I’m so blessed by them.


The boys swam (and mooned us, of course) and it was so good to be back with Heather and Christie.


Of course the boys threw seaweed at us...we are mature 8 year olds now.


Here's Kari with the Indigenous apron I got her. She loved it. She would! I was at the cabin this weekend with the whole extended fam which was so good. Decorated my room up there Guatemala style, it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Jenna refers to it as “Northwoods Mayan”. It was so good...Pepe and Conrad and Sergio called me the other day. I took a picture out the back window of the sun setting over the lake and sent it to them so they could see how beautiful it is here.


Then I sent them a picture of me being sad cuz I'm not there with them. It’s weird being back, but I was ready. Life-changing, amazing experience, but 4 months is none too short. Anyhow I don’t think I’ll be updating this blog anymore (being that it is a Guatemala blog…and I am alas no longer there). My normal life isn’t that exciting…at least not crocodile-infested-river blind-cliff-jumping exciting. Guess that’s probably a good thing huh? I really do appreciate you reading up on my experiences…it really was amazing being down there and knowing I had the prayer and support of my friends in MN (well support for most of the things, prayer for the rest, right?) Well here I go, a summer full of physics is waiting for me at Macalester. And the real world begins again.
