All that jazz

We were all awake and moving around by 4:30 this morning. I woke up at 3:30, but since I went to bed at 10, that’s not too terrible. It was one of those nights where everytime I woke up I was confused about where I was. I wrote out a list of to dos and got them all done. 💪🏻  Before we left I made Adi a paper chain countdown for how many days of school she has left and i wrote little sweet things about her inside, so I put that up.

Sarah Cox has been posting monthly young women updates so I grabbed a few from her today. 
I talked to Amy for 2 hours and planned dinners, teacher appreciation week (camping themed!) and next weeks trip to see the bigs. 
I made burritos for dinner with canned fruit (tinned fruit for my Aussie friends) and then went to Aldi while D was at ballet. I did self checkout and scanned food twice 3 times accidentally, so maybe I am really tired. 
Everyone else went to Casto’s for a service project and since my list was done I laid on the couch to catch up on some survivor and I fell asleep, since Lent is over that’s allowed again. And then I really did wake up disoriented a few times. 
It feels so good to be home. We met several people that were really interested in the US, that would really love to live here. I keep imagining looking at everything through their eyes and with such gratitude. How open and bright and big everything is here. All the variety and ease that we enjoy. There really is no other country like ours. 


Finally, driving home from Aldi this license plate made me smile and also jealous.
