Titles?!?!
I just realized that I'll have to be more creative with my titles since we can actually post on the same day we write blogs! :)
December 30, 2008 (written by Janeen)
Since we've been home for 5 weeks I thought it was time we update our blog. It was fun surprising our families by coming home early. We really enjoyed spending the holidays with family and are having fun being able to hang out with friends. Just last night I realized that it is fun to be able to go out in the dark. Though, I do miss the starry skies of Lesotho. The stars were truly amazing there.
We're trying to get back into the swing of things. I've told several people that it feels like we're on vacation (we have been house jumping and packing a lot of overnight bags), but we don't have the relax and enjoy yourself feeling of being on vacation because the reality is-- we're not! Jason has been job hunting on the internet. He even had a phone interview this morning. We'll see what comes out of that. If anything it was good interview practice! As for me, I am substitute teaching. I only got one day in before the school break, but hope it will pick up when school re-open next week. We've been catching up on movies and some TV shows (on DVD) that we've missed. I started reading again, which is nice. It took me almost a month to get back into it.
We recently found out the name of the new volunteer (Kelly) who is now living in our old home. It has been fun communicating with her via facebook.
On a sad note, (not to the point of crying) we lost all of our latest photos from Lesotho. Jason put them on my Mom & Dad's computer and deleted them off of the memory card. Then that computer got a virus and they had to reformat it. So they're gone for good. I was pretty upset at first, but I guess I still have the memories... just no photos to share with others. Its also unfortunate because we also lost the latest photos of the new classrooms at Jason's school. Maybe we can convince Kelly to take the trek over there and take photos!
Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing what's in store for us!
