On Being Home

I safely arrived back in Guatemala Tuesday evening!

Pattersons and I took the same flight down to Guate. then met up with Tammy and Rylee at the hotel in the City. It was a LONG day of traveling with a 5-hour layover in Ft. Lauderdale, but everything went extremely well with no cause for complaint. 

We arrived at Monte Flor yesterday around 5 PM so today was spent catching up on the goings on around here. Ron, three of his friends, Rachel, and her best friend (who will be leaving tomorrow) were all here already; along with two guys who were working on installing a water filter system. One of our goals this year is to have clean drinking water on the entire property so we can quit needing to buy it! 

Thank you to all the wonderful people who made it a wonderful Christmas and New Year's. The 6-week Christmas break was awesome! It included lots of parties, food, traveling, etc. as well as some down time to rejuvenate - enough so that all of last week I was ready to get back to a normal schedule :D

Being home in the States was great but being back home in Guatemala is equally so. 

This year, I might be blogging less frequently. While I will still be using it to write updates on all things Guatemala, since I won't be here for much longer than a few months (Lord willing), the focus is going to shift a bit - less news more other stuff. 'Other stuff' doesn't quite yet have an actual definition so we'll see how the year goes!
