settling in, and a little about bootcamp...

so, today i kinda realized what it is like to be home. it is amazing to be here, but is is also strange to be in such an odd place of transition. home, but not quite home (staying at a friend's place). here, but not quite here (montreal in 20 days!). so much to do (savour vancouver), but nothing to do (no work, no school!). and, it is funny, because I know that the older I get, and the more times that I do this, the easier it is, but i also know that it is not easy. it is not easy to miss the kids that I have just spent 2 months with. it is not easy to try to explain the experience, but know that people just do not understand. it is not easy to arrive back into technology. vanity. ease of life. and think back about what i just experienced and what i just saw. it is not always easy not to be surrounded by people who share the same faith as you. it is not easy to know that big transitions are knocking on my door. but, it is also nice to be here. it is nice to see my friends, and

the bird has landed!

so, back in vancouver. being a hermit for a least a day while i get un-tired, and a little less overwhelmed. sorry I have not been able to update while I have been away in florida, and onto Haiti... computer access has been... well... limited? to say the least!? (can we talk about the 400+ emails in my inbox?!) It has been a fantastically amazing summer, with lots of stories. challenges. love. miracles. life changes. I am happy to be back, and will be so excited to be able to share some of the adventures!
