We have been home now for 11 days. I am glad the jet lag is over! Now that I am not as exhausted, I can share a little of how this transition has been. Just a list of some thoughts about leaving Italia and being home!
Jet lag- uffa.Family- wonderful! Animals- a lot of work, but I still love them. House-still here and thankful for all of Lizzie and Danny’s hard work. Grass cutting-good exercise. Missouri summer- HOT and HUMID. Airconditioning-amazing. Disposal-amazing. Big bin for recycling-wow. New cars in one week- a bit stressful. but we like what we bought! Paying cash for car/truck- :). Hard to stop speaking italian, especially not saying pronto when answering the phone, and grazie,si or ciao. Laundry is very fast here -not so much ironing! Church is HUGE and a little overwhelming, the preaching from Proverbs is speaking to our hearts. It is nice to be able to call the kids at a normal time without all the yawning. Wal-Mart -hard to find stuff. Yogurt- horrible here in the states, time to start making my own again. Gelato- I miss this, but there are a couple of places with good gelato! Making bruchetta for the family-yum. Driving and being able to read all the signs-nice! Tomatoes- not good here,I will have to find a farmers market. Purpose- a bit unclear for me,but Billy is happy in his new job! Time to de-process-good. Hearts-happy to be home,missing our friends and church family in Italia…… open to all God desires for our future!
We are home. Grazie Dio!
Love, Jen and Billy
