It's sweltering hot, highs in the upper 90s and the 'feels like' is well over 100 and the humidity, well, lets not talk about what it feels like to walk through wet air, huh?
We've been to the pool once, and hopefully more trips in our future, but it's been a busy week and I just haven't gotten over there much. yet. We have a few more weeks before local school starts so our afternoons are free for the pool. [But we did start home school today, and the little guys went back to local preschool... more on that later.]
The big event of the weekend was Lydia's birthday party! Wednesday we decided on a a "cookie decorating party" and Friday we baked a huge batch of sugar cookie cut outs. Saturday we mixed up a dozen icing colors and Sunday afternoon the party was on!
When I look back at everything that's happened since we landed a week ago it seems crazy. But really, the days were smooth. I slept well - ha! but I'm thankful for the days we had in Thailand to re-adjust to Asia time and life and heat and this is home. So it feels right to be here.
Actually, as of this month we have lived in this house for 37 months... which is longer than we have ever lived anywhere else, ever, in our entire marriage. Of course, we haven't technically lived here all 37 months because we spent the spring of 2014 in the U.S. and we tend to travel in longer chunks, but really, our furniture, our home, our 'main place' has been this apartment! for over three years!
I'm hoping we set a crazy long record in this place. We'd love to live here for a decade. But in our line of work, that's highly unlikely. And recent events have driven that reality home in some pretty harsh ways. So we'll enjoy the days and weeks and months and years here - and stay as long as we can!
