Its been a week now, since I’ve been home and things are just now settling down after the chaos of Thanksgiving that always occurs at my house. Imagine 7 children under the age of 8 running around and getting into 
everything! Then, of course, there are my brothers and I who stay up way too late playing games and whatever else we find ourselves doing late into the night. It wasn’t until Sunday that all my nieces and nephews left and now it is just my parents, my two younger brothers and I.
I’ve missed my country home and the walks down the dirt roads, the sunsets over the wheat fields, fishing with my dad, and bike riding with my little brother. As the rest of Tikvah knows, I’ve been craving them for so long! And its been such gorgeous weather 
that I’ve been able to really enjoy them.
that I’ve been able to really enjoy them.
I loved getting to see most of my family and catch up on the last year of our lives. I am surprised, though, that it doesn’t really feel like I have been gone. It’s like I just slipped back into the picture with no awkward transition. I am beginning 
to miss my world race family, though. I am working on organizing my pictures and reminiscing about the last 11 months. In a couple weeks, it may feel weird that I am not packing up and moving to the next location…but for now, I am enjoying just being here with no where else to go.
