Watch out America. We’re back!
After two years of constant change and moving, the convenience that comes with home almost feels weird. I mean, isn’t life suposed to go all crazy on us soon? So far, America has been the land of smooth sailing.
After packing everything we owned, it was time to leave Grenada one last time. The feeling is still surreal.
After that, the cab came on time, the planes weren’t delayed, some random Delta employee re-opened the baggage claim at an ungodly hour of the night to take our four clumsy bags off our hands, we found a cozy little spot under a row of pay phones to curl up for the night (along with the Cheetos crumbs) and finally we arrived in Salt Lake City to a grinning family.
And all our bags were intact and on time!
Ah, life’s little miracles.
The past few days have been chalk full of little “T.I.A” (This is America) moments. Walmart was a big one.
A 99-Cent Twix bar? How can you beat that!
Other memorable moments have included seeing long-lost family, driving on the RIGHT side of the spacious road and fresh strawberries/spinach/raspberries.
Our first morning back, David hit the ground running … and hit the books at full speed. He has spent his days from 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. studying as hard as he would at any other time.
USMLE Step 1, here he comes. The Biochem beast had better beware!
During the study breaks and fresh hours of the morning we have enjoyed sunrise runs, backyard dinners, tossing the football around, teasing the dog, chatting with mom and dad and haircuts.
The smile on his face when he is home with his family is priceless to me.
