Month 9: May 2010

April & May were definitely blessed with visitors.  One week after my parents left, Hallsy arrived and took up residence in our 2nd bedroom for close to 3 weeks.  I kept getting asked the question, "are you going to be able to deal with living with 2 boys ...especially when one is Hallsy?" knowing that he was considering staying up to 3 months if he could find work.  And I always responded, "absolutely, I love having people from home here, especially when one is Hallsy."

And I can honestly say, we loved having him here and were sad to see him go when he couldn't find work.  The only thing I will not miss is having every single cup in my cupboard used on a daily basis because the boy does not like to use a single cup twice. Seriously?

And now we are back to normal and to our quiet apartment, which is both sad and relaxing at the same time.  And starting into a new month.

We're also in the process of considering extending our contract for an extra 5 months.  I think we both completley want to go home and get back to normal life, but we also see the value (and I am talking pure dollars and cents here) in extending as long as possible.  We know that we have a deadline of April 9th (Carina's Wedding) on the horizon, on top of at least a small vacation at the end ...so we're in decision mode.  Hopefully by my next update I will have more information.

Until then, know that I miss home every day but that we are happy and accepting visitors anytime!

Oh ...and here's a little preview of exactly what Wayne & Hallsy spent 3 weeks doing ...
