Christmas on Jan 17th

On Dec. 28th I received a phone call from my post office that said I had some packages to pick up. I had been calling for two weeks continuously, expecting packages, but not until I was on a bus to Guatemala did the packages decide to land in El Salvador. So today, January 17th, I went to pick them up. I got to re-live my birthday and Christmas all over again. Marisa, Faith, Liz, and my Momma all sent me wonderful thoughtful gifts. Enough toblerone, red vines, and tea to get me through the depression that is setting in for my final month and some magazines to catch up on all that I have missed back home. And some bling bling to wear to my goodbye party :) It is nice to know that after two years, y'all haven't forgot about me down here. You will be happy to know that I will be home very soon, but I will be in need of more toblerone, and red wine. I am warning you, I will be weird. I will eat with my hands when it isn't appropriate. If you see this happen, nicely hand me a fork and give me a wink. It might take me awhile to reintegrate... I may break down in the middle of TJ Max when I hear my fellow shoppers across the aisle speaking spanish and find out that they are from El Salvador. I may drag you to eat pupusas with me in downtown Sac. I may talk far too openly about bowel movements. Just know that this is going to be hard. I will need you all, family and friends, to make this transition. Much love. See you soon.
