Home at last, even if it is just for two weeks!
It's the little things, like being able to rinse your toothbrush in the water from the tap, or flush toilet paper instead of having to throw it in the bin. And having TV and fast internet.
My parents are having a blast playing with Baby Girl, and I'm enjoying just a short break from the toil of fieldwork.
And today my husband and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary with a low-key day and some quality ice cream.
Steve's lost 20 lbs since we went to Ecuador, and I've lost 10. We're going to try not to gain it all back while we're home and partaking of all the yummy yummyness that there is here.
Saturday my cousin Andrea gets married. Monday we fly to North Dakota to visit Steve's grandma. The following Monday we try to catch up with old friends and advisors at school. It's a break from the toil, but by no means a vacation.
I just hope that I'm still willing to return to Ecuador when it's time to head back. So tempting to return to the easy life....
