Home Sweet Home

There's no place like home, and nothing could be more true. I am now sleeping in my own bed, surrounded by all my 'stuff', and am reconnecting with my family and catching up with my friends. I love it! It has been a bit of an adjustment being home, getting used to Western living again. One good thing--I have lived on so little the last 18 months that I am now in full spring-cleaning mode. I am throwing out so much 'stuff', realizing that I don't need it all.
Friday I will go see my youngest niece play in her final basketball tournament... Next month I will go speak to another niece's class. There's also a confirmation in there to attend. Over the next week, I will go see my dad. All things I could not have done had I still been in Indonesia.
Don't get me wrong, being overseas was an experience of a lifetime, and I'm not about to give it up. But I also realize that I need some time to be at home and to get back in touch with the people who are important to me. Although I need to ask the question, does everyone's family drive them as crazy as mine sometimes does? :)
