We'll I'm back and I wonder if I should keep doing this blogger thing. It's a lot of work so I think I'm just going to test the waters and try it out for at least December. I have gotten some encouraging words from everyone and how much they have enjoyed the blog. I'll try to keep you up on the happenings of life. But I don't know waht more I can say. I"m doing my best to adjust back into American living. I am finding great joy in not having to live by water conservation habits. I can flush the toilet after I go to the bathroom. I don't have to put my toilet paper in the waste basket next to the toilet. I don't need to drive so defensively because I don't have stray kids, dogs, or pigs in the road. I don't have to drive on the other side of the road because the both sides of the road are drivable. I don't have to sleep with a fan on my face to keep the bugs and mosquitos away. Even better is now I get to sleep with 5 sheets instead of one paper thin sheet. Mostly because I'm freezing and need 5 sheets to stay warm. But also I am sleeping in "MY" bed and I don't much more I slept with a beanie on the first night to stay warm. But warm and toasty is better than hot, sweaty, and sticking to my sheets. It's great to be back.
I will try to post a couple pictures tomorrow but for now I will just be posting one more little story. What is the first thing any normal person wants to do when they get back after a 4 month vacation to Mexico. EAT >>>>>>>>>>>>> WRONG. Get a haircut and a wax. Yup those eyebrows have a tendency to get a little out of control, and I didn't have enough faith in my spanish to risk getting a bad haircut in Mexico. I didn't have enough faith in the family I was living with to translate either. After all I loved playing games and tricks on them what would stop them from playing a mean trick on me. Exactly, I am so much smarter than that. I touched down December 9th at 10:35 P.M. what was I doing at 10:36 A.M. the next day. Walking in to my favorite hair salon in Gresham and getting my haircut. I don't 10:36 seems like a strange time to be walking in but that was because I was later for my appointment. I forgot that I was in the states and people usually show up to appointments on time. That will be a big adjustment.
Life is full of new and exciting relationships that are being re-energized and I love sharing all the stories and adventures of Mexico. Although I'm spending a lot of time with family and close friends I'd love to talk to anyone of you. I'm starting work tomorrow because I'm getting the itch and I want to get started and start talking spanish. How excited am I.

I for one enjoyed your blog post. Definitely in my top 5 blogs that I get excited for when I see it is updated in my google reader.
Good to have you back man. Lets get together next week.
When you got off the plane it was hard to tell what a hairy beast you were. Afterall, you had a sweatshirt with the hoodie on your head. It seems you were a little cold - Now you know how Grandma/pa felt everytime they would visit from Florida. You used to make fun of them!!!!
