In 20 minutes, I am going to step out of 6832 Capital Paradise for the last time, ride my bike to the new house and go to bed. I’m here using the internet connection because the service hasn’t been activated in the new house yet. We’ve moved all of our things to the new house and Lisa has done a great job putting the new home together.

I will always have fond memories of this place because it was home to the extreme joy of our early victories along with the tears of frustration as we made the painful adaptation to life here. Looking at our life now, everything seems really normal and similar to our life in the US. Everything is much less foreign. Are we really back to life-as-usual? Or have we experienced growth that we won’t realize until we return to the US?

It’s very hard to know exactly where you are until you look at where you came from.
