Home Sweet Home

I have now been home for over a month! It's crazy to look back and see all of the things that I have done and to know that it is over...for now anyways. I have caught the travel bug so I do intend on doing some more travelling, but I don't know when I will ever get an opportunity like that again - I will soon be graduating and will inherit a bit of debt and a lot of responsibility along with it.I've enjoyed being home though. I had a great flight on August 6 and was met at the Toronto airport by my parents, a bouquet, and giant bear hugs. We went to Kaitlynn and Aaron's place in London for dinner and then I got home around 23.00. I had been in transit since 9am in Denmark, so it had been over 24 hours since I had slept, and since I didn't sleep much in Russia either, and I was experiencing a 7 hour time difference it took me a few days to adjust to Canadian time again.
I spent my first few days at home being pampered by my mom. However, after adjusting to the time change and resting, I didn't sit still and spend too much time at home. I've spent a few nights in London unpacking, cleaning the house, and seeing friends. I went to Muskoka for the long weekend to visit with more friends there. I've gone to Michigan for several weekends to see reunite with even more friends. And finally my mom and I went to Rochester to visit her family out there. I've been pretty busy since my return and so it took me a while to fully adjust that I'm back. In fact I don't know if I have fully accepted this fact; I'm always busy and doing something so in a way it still feels like I'm in Denmark! I think that once school starts (in 4 days) I think that it will hit me like a cream pie in the face.

Kaitlynn's welcome back dinner - she's such a good cook believe it or not!

First Sunday after church with the girls, Edgar, Mike, and AaronTrisha, Jen, and Karyn came over and we tie-dyed!

At Mike's cottage in Muskoka...this was before the boat almost sank!
