Back Home Again in Indiana!

For those of you who didn't know, I arrived home Saturday at 3:00 pm! The flight was LONG (another 20 hours) but it actually went much smoother than the flight over there. The only slight delay was in Detroit where it was snowing and they had to keep de-icing the plane. When I arrived in Indy Mom, Dad, and the girls were waiting for me. We went home and the house was EXTREMELY clean so I knew something was up. We went to church and ALL of my aunts, uncles, and cousins were there from Cincinnati. We came home after church and Mom cooked chilli, and garlic bread, and brownies, and cupcakes, and homemade fudge. AMAZING!

It's wonderful to be home again and to be surrounded by all the people that I love and that I missed so much while I was gone. Taiwan was an amazing experience and I'm really happy that I decided to go. I formed some great friendships and learned a lot about the people and the culture there. Now I'm back home enjoying (and being grateful) for all of the little things we have here such as fluffy beds, Western toilets, Mountain Dew, and water we can brush our teeth with! God Bless America :-)

Hey Neighbor! I just read your entire blog, and REALLY enjoyed it. :) You seemed to do a great job capturing an abolutely incredible experience with words. Reading it made me excited to go to Asia! I got a kick out of how everyone treated you like a Hollywood celebrity...and I could definitely get used to all the time being told that I'm beautiful, haha. I'm going to look through your pictures now...
Love Dana
