Home Again

Last night around 10:30 Geoff and I finished our 4 day journey out west. We drove a grand total of 2685 miles, that does not include all our pit stops. I am so glad to finally be here. Even though it will be a bit longer before we are completely settled, I have a peace that this is home for the next three years. I would like to thank our family and friends for your prayers for safe travels. We really did feel them. I would also like to thank God for keeping us safe, and giving us perfect weather for traveling.

From start to finish we traveled across 9 states and saw some breathe taking views. I did take pictures, but the camera cord is still MIA. It was amazing to see how beautiful our country is. As I sat behind the wheel I thought God really knew what he was doing in those 6 days that he created this place we call home. Of course then my inquisitive mind kicked in and I pondered how he came up with the idea to put mountains here, and water there? I just hope I can remember all these questions I want to ask him when that time comes.

I will have more to write about as we settle into our new life here, so until next time!

Adjusting

Geoff and I made it back home safe and sound Sunday afternoon. I even got to surprise my sister. I will say that jet lag can be a bear. When I came home for Christmas it took exactly a week to get over. I think I am coming out of it quicker this time because I am not taking naps during the day. I don't know how Angelina Jolie travels from one side of the world to the other non-stop.

We did have a layover in Japan. I was so excited. First thing off the plane we hit the Golden Arches (McDonald's). It was so good. After that I hit a book store in search for Japanese crafting magazines. I found three, and since my i-pod was not working and boredom was sure to set in on our 11 1/2 hour flight, I bought them all. They have some pretty interesting ideas and patterns in them.

I will admit that the ride home from the airport was a little overwhelming. I could read every sign that I saw. Everything I need or want is right at a store just down the street. I would say that American drivers are better than Korean drivers but in some cases that is just not true. Although we do drive slower, there are some pretty crazy drivers out there.

I have started on my Hogwarts Socks, and am so excited. I woke up at 2:30 last night and just started thinking about stuff to put in her package. I would have posted a picture, but I think Geoff let the movers pack the cord that hooks up to my computer. Well, until next time!
