It's been a few weeks as things suddenly got nuts around here! So I am now working both jobs as one is very small, sorting, scanning and filing paperwork once or twice a week depending on my other work's schedule which has a lot more to it, more hours but is awesome because I can save on gas and walk there as it is only 1/2 a mile away. Last week I was working every day, luckily no more than 4 hours each day so I have been able to balance it with plenty of Lilly time. I don't think Lilly likes it particularly though and has been acting out a lot and clinging terribly. It makes me feel bad but it has to be done, we have bills to pay!
Landon is doing great at school, he got full marks for his speech in Public speaking! It is kind of his thing though, but I am so proud of him, and I think that seeing himself doing well is a fantastic self motivator.
Rylan came home from his Mission 2 weeks ago today, that was a busy week! Like any RM he was very shell shocked and still kind of is. His head is stuck in Peru... takes me back to returning to Aus after being an exchange student and that was only 6 months! A lot can change in 6 months and it did, so it took me a while to find my feet again and I also struggled with the fact I had left so much behind. I wonder what it will be like when we visit Aus next year? I think facebook has helped me this time to keep up with things, but it will still be tough as I will no longer be part of the regular social structure. Leaving and returning is disjointing, I think it's hard to completely understand unless you have done it yourself. Mmmm nice little rant there...
Anyway! Don't forget to read my stories: kjhstories.blogspot.com
It takes me a long time to type these out, and I love them, and it's fun to see how they reflect on certain periods of my life.
