Hello everyone,
We are finally home to the green grass with no rickshaws, trucks, etc honking, beeping or just making noise. YES!!!!!!! Daddy and I stayed in Chicago for 6 hours waiting because "Theo's plane was delayed," and yes that's true. Unfortunately, Theo could not get on the same plane as us from Newark to Chicago, so Daddy and I stayed behind to wait for Theo, but Mommy, Neni, and Sam went home. Daddy and I got on the Hertz bus to go get the rental car and then headed off to find something to eat. We decided to stop at Pizza Hut for there pizza/salad buffet and sat down to my first real Mountain Dew in 8 months. YUM. Then we went through the salad buffet and waited for the pizza to come out. It was a very good meal to bring us into the American culture again. I couldn't stop smiling at how friendly everyone was. It really is a contrast to the somewhat rude, unfriendly Indian culture. After we ate we went to Home Depot and looked around, then we went to Best Buy, and then Target. It was AWESOME to be home and still is! Then we went to pick up Theo who was ecstatic to see us after being in a cage for 32 hours. We let him out to go potty and then got in the car and headed home. From about 2 to 6 the time change hits you the most, because it is around the time when you have the deepest sleep. I felt quite tired in the car, but would not fall asleep. If you do nap you have a fair chance of getting barely any sleep that night, so I stayed up and just looked out the window. We got home at about 6:00 and saw the beautiful green grass and blue sky of our neighborhood. We went to one of our favorite restaurants Qdoba and then came home and fell asleep. (We had stayed up the whole night!!!)
Then we've been on our feet ever since, as we haven't stopped running. Saturday we went to church, had potluck, came home, rested, then we went over to Jon, Laura, and Kate's house (the new pastors family's house) and spent the rest of the day there. We had a great time. The next day we went to the church to help set up for VBS--Sonrise National Park VBS 2012. Then Monday through Friday we went to VBS from 6 to 8 p.m.. On Monday we added two new additions to our lives Claire (a dwarf rabbit) and CiCi (a lion head rabbit) they are both adorable and are 6 weeks old. Neni left and most things are back to normal. It's great to be home, but we miss our friends back in India A LOT!!!!!!!
Bye for now and I'll post pics soon!!!

I can't wait to see pictures of the new bunnies. Poor Theo, I was worried about him on that long trip. Glad that you are so happy to be at home, sweet home.
ReplyDeletei love your daddy/daughter bonding time and going to old familiar places like Best Buy and Target. What a culture shock back to the normality of life, right? Glad you all are back and getting back to your normal time zone.
ReplyDeleteTarget...I'm jealous! I bet Theo is enjoying more freedom in the US - not having to worry about a war with the street dogs. By the way, when we left, there were new baby puppies in the same spot on the street. They looked like the last ones, but I think there were 4 or more. Miss ya!
ReplyDeleteWhen are you guys coming for your trip to the US?
ReplyDeleteMiss you
