We arrived safely at Grandma's house about 2:30 am Sunday, exhausted but very glad to be here. Our 25+ time on the way was very tiring, but it didn't turn out too bad in the end. On the 12 1/2 - hour flight, Nate slept from before we took off to just 30 minutes before we landed--a miracle! Like Mum said, we have had a lot of people praying for us.
Well, I'd better go. I guess it's enough to tell you we're REALLY excited about the up-and-coming weeks, and are still alive. And oh, yes--we are adjusting to US time very well. The first morning, we got up at 12 pm, but ever since then we've done fairly well. We're really enjoying re-connecting with family and friends back here, even though we (at least I!) miss the ones we've left behind.
Yesterday, we went to see our old farm, and also visited the family that took over their business. Today, we had a little party for my aunt who's getting married. Tomorrow, Lord willing, we'll be catching up with some friends. Our time is very full, but we're all REALLY enjoying seeing each and every one again.
Will try to update later!

P.S. The date is wrong--I'm posting this on 27th March US time, and the blog's time is set to NZ. Just so you knew. :)
Yay! you're alive - I just assumed that you'd be "dead" for the next few weeks :)
ReplyDeleteAww you're missing us! thanks! :D teeheee! I am kinda missing you but you see we haven't seen each other in sooo long it doesn't make much of a difference to a Db gap but then I am missing the fact that you aren't on and the knowledge that you are a billon ks away is -really reallly annoying to say the least :/
pics pleaaaaaaaseeeee!!!
P.S James forgot the bag of stuff hopefully he doesn't forget to give it to Jenny when he leaves
Probably won't be able to post pics until we get home. Right now I'm using WiFi at my aunt and uncle's place several km's down the road, so it's kinda unhandy to do much here. I'll try to post some, but no promises--not until we get back. Hopefully I'll get some done then!
