Homeward Bound

Seemingly back from the dead. I'm still bogged down by a bunch of paperwork but I've got some serious senioritis (can you still call it that when it comes to things other than school?) and can't focus on working so I'll finally blog a few random things. Also taking up some time and preventing me from blogging: I reformatted the hard drive and re-installed Windows. I think I'm just going to plan on doing this every 9 months to a year because it works wonders for a sluggish computer.

We are now in our last full month here. I've loved Thailand and will miss a lot of things about it but not that the decision has been made to go back home I just want to get there. Although I love it here there are so many things I'm looking forward to when we get back to the US -- hot water from every tap, washing clothes in hot water, pulling hot clothes out of the dryer, snuggling up in a blanket and enjoying some hot cocoa, home-made bread, and the list goes on and on.

So, we leave Khon Kaen (for Bangkok) on the 3rd of October and then my parents will arrive in Bangkok on the 4th. We will do some vacationing with my folks for about eight days and then we're all flying back together (that will be wonderful with the kids)!

Teaching KG has been great for me. I really love my kids (most of them) and am going to miss them. You get to see so much improvement when they are so young (3-4). Not only with their English but the things that they can do -- gross motor skills, fine motor skills, behavior, social skills, etc. It's really wonderful. I wish I could have been in KG last year. Oh well.

We've sold most of our large things except the car. We're getting down to crunch time with the car and I'm starting to get a little worried.

Did you notice the favicon for my blog (it's the tiny icon to the left of my blog url)? I had a lot of fun figuring out how to do it. (I used this article if you want to try it too). It's a picture of Trea if you can't tell.

Speaking of Trea, this morning she wakes up and says out of the blue, "Jesus is coming." I'm like, "okay." Then she says, "I talked to him." I questioned her, "You talked to him?" and her response, "Yeah, I talked to Jesus."
Okay, so how's that for a kind of weird start to your day -- not bad, per se, just a little weird.

Anyway, don't have a lot for now other than to say I'm alive and I'm homeward bound in just over a month.
