As crazy as it may seem, Beth & I are finally safe and sound in Colorado. There were some hectic times on the way home including delayed flights (I didn’t actually meet Beth in Miami as originally planned ) and an unplanned 2 day stay in Goshen due to car repairs (it runs like a champ now) but in the end we finally got here! We’ve been keeping busy shopping, unpacking, adjusting to life back in the States, telling SST stories and planning for a wedding! Yup, that’s right, our wedding is less than a year away now!! As far as closure to SST goes, well, I’m still working on it. Even though I wouldn’t trade being here with Beth and my family there are times when I still really miss Peru and all the wonderful friends I made there. I mean, email and facebook are ok for keeping in touch, but it really just isn’t the same. Regardless, I am having a great time re-telling so many of my wonderful SST memories to anyone who will listen. Tomorrow I’m even going to give a shot at cooking a Peruvian meal so wish me luck. The pressure is on too because Beth already cooked a great Dominican dish for us tonight! YAY for getting stories and experiences from all over the globe when I get home. Ok, I’ve really gotta get some sleep, but thanks for all your thoughts prayers over the past months. Oh yeah, and the comments were nice too Later!
