The Becca's Back!

I returned to Bulgarland yesterday...It was a sweet reunion. I loved America, but it was nice to get back.

Being back home was more like being on the set of the movie of my life than my actual hometown...Things are how you remember them, but just not entirely normal. You see people you know, but they aren't in your current storyline. Unless you have been in the Balkans for a year and some change and then gone back to the states, you can't really picture it.

But anyway, we did have some good times in Dover. I ate every meal I like (I almost had to double up dinners) INCLUDING Thanksgiving with the extended family. (We now know why it is not a summer holiday...That turkey is rough when it's 100 degrees outside.) I helped my bestest friend find the dress I'll wear as Maid-of-Honor in her wedding next summer. I even got to DRIVE to Washington DC. Mmmm, driving.

But now I'm back, getting into a routine again. I cleaned everything but my kitchen today...That will be a task when I come to it. Tomorrow I plan to go swimming, so word. AND my Darien Book Aid books arrived while I was gone, so I spent all evening opening them up and getting excited about all the BOOKS. I LOVE books!

Okay, that's it.

And, of course, it was nice seeing your PARENTS! (I'm sure that was the highlight, you just were too choked up to mention it.)

As glad as I am to have you back you have exhausted my patience.

Every day I check for more funny and poinent(sp?) stories and insights. Alas everyday im disapointed. When will I learn to not give my heart away so easily.
