Different Strokes

So as my time here progresses it is getting harder and harder to be away from family and friends. Yes, I am forming relationships; yes, I am traveling and seeing the sights of Europe; yes, I love my job; and yes, I know the Lord has me here. But in the end, it does not take away the fact that I miss myfamily, friends that I don't have to explain myself to, the beach, and the comforts of home.
The seasons are changing and with that means less time with the sun and communion with nature : ). Our girls have been busy preparing for our open house this coming up weekend. We have, basically all the school over and entertain them for the evening. We are celebrating Thanksgiving this coming up Sunday. Maybe we can try to find a football game to watch; that would make me feel right at home!!!
Besides that I went to Prague!! Probably one of my favorite cities I have been to. I loved how small it was. I was able to just walk and walk and I just happened to run into everything I wanted to see there. I even went to a Tex Mex restaurant. O, how I miss Mexican food.
But besides that many things have stayed the same. Monotony can be nice, but at the same time...I like change. Sometimes after I drop the girls off at school or something, I will drive home a different way just so I do not have to go home the same way I came. I know weird, but it helps the monotony to subside.
I hope all is well....please let me know how you are doing. I would greatly appreciate it.
