Sorry my posting has been so spotty lately.  We’ve just moved overseas!  We are now back stateside in North Carolina and are looking for a place to live.  Living in a hotel definitely has it’s drawbacks, but I should be used to it by now.  I’ll try to keep this updated as I settle in.  I will say though….hello reverse culture shock!  You always think that culture shock will be bad, but I always find reverse culture shock to be much worse.  Welcome home!
