I'm baaaaaack!

I can't believe it...I am back in the states! And while it is not forever, I am going back, it is certainly a change and the close of another part of my life. Over a year ago I made the decision to do the program at middlebury, with much contemplation and anguish. It proved to be a very smart decision, albeit expensive, but despite the accumulating debt, I wouldn't change my mind if I had to do it all again. The experience was something I needed and wanted in my life. I feel like I have done something I am proud of and am not still in AC doing what came easy. Still, change is hard. I know that when I get back to Spain it will not be the same experience. Many of my friends will not be there, I will not be at "la Sede Prim," I may not be living in the same house, and I will be working. As I was packing up my room I actually suffered quite a panic attack. Silly, I know, but change is hard. I will miss this past year.

So what am I going to do this summer? Good question!

Right now I am in Florida visiting Kim and Elliot, and most importantly Owen!!! I just love this baby to pieces. Check out his blog and you will see why. (http://owenwilliamdoerle.blogspot.com/)
Later this afternoon I head over to the west coast of Florida to see Chrissy and her new house....how exciting! Chrissy is on her 2nd grown up house...what a big girl!

Then it's to Philadelphia to see my boys! (jack, owen and lucky!) Yea!!! I have missed them! My parents and I will be babysitting for the weekend. The following week I will be with Amy before she jets off to Italy for 3 weeks, and then to Pittston. That's about all I have planned. Once I get to Pittston it's living with mom and dad with no job and a bicycle as my main means of transportation. That ought to be fun.... I guess I will be waiting and planning until Paco comes for the big tour of Northeast America in August.

I probably won't write much over the summer, but don't worry if I happen to do something super-exciting, I'll post it.

Thanks for visiting....until part 2 of The Life and Times of Julie and Lucky in Madrid
