Mix the Two Worlds

Well, I feel that I am finally getting into the groove of being back home. Belle is starting to adjust and sleep better which means I have more energy to chase her around and actually try and teach her some new things. Right now we are working on drinking from an adult cup which she loves! She also loves to watch the water pour out of the cup when I am not looking..... Really it's cute though the first couple of times.

Being back home has given me a sense of tranquility. I don't feel the anxiety that I once felt while living in Brazil. Of course if I could mix my two worlds then it would probably mean that I died and went to heaven.

When I am in Brazil I crave my family, the ease of driving, the ease of shopping, and the ease of basically everything everyone takes for granted that hasn't lived outside the US.

When I am home in the US I miss the perfect weather, daily walks with beautiful scenery, fresh fruits and veggies that taste like candy and not plastic, cheap amazing cuts of meat, and the view of the ocean.

Since I haven't died and went to heaven I need to take what I can get and enjoy every moment. If I had to chose though, hands down it would be friends and family. They make even the toughest of moments bearable and memories out of nothing.

So for now I am enjoying the ability to be spontaneous, talk to everyone, cuddle up with family, and stay close to friends.

Tchau,
Sara

PS- I hope that this goes without saying that I miss my husband more than words can ever express. This is probably why I don't write about it often. The blog would turn into one sad sob story. I just cannot even imagine being an army wife. So if you can say a pray for the families who cannot be together this holiday season.
