Back in Bama

Well, I made it home, and it has been truly wonderful to see so many of my family and friends these past two weeks. It's really neat to come back after such a long time, because every little thing is exciting again, just because it's been so long. Like how they refill(!) my drink at a restaurant--all the time--without my even asking them! [Feel free to ask me for more details later, but basically, in Spain, you normally have to FIGHT for the attention of the waiter or waitress. It's as if you're not even there! I find myself reverting to my "subtle eye contact and wave" method here in the states more often than I'd like to admit; sorry if you get caught there with me in the next few weeks. ;)] I also do miss Spain, though (mostly the people, I will say), and I realized how much I'd bit off the second I got back to the states. Though I was expecting a crazy transition, I didn't expect it to be quite so overwhelming. So, if you're still interested, there are 3 things you can do for me. One would be to pray for me as I trust in God's goodness and control and really dig into support raising (my favorite!), two would be to email me if you want to hear more about Spain or the years to come in Tampa, and three would be to drink a glass of good southern sweet tea today, just because you can. :) Enjoy this summer day!
