A very eventful weekend...
Chuck and Cherith got married!!! It was beautiful, and now they are one. Crazy. Wonderful.
And DAN IS HOME!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
And cross-cultural transition is hard...especially when you're on the outside looking in. I'm used to being the one going through it, not the one watching, and I hate the feeling of having my hands tied behind my back, like I'm about as useful as a fire hydrant. Except fire hydrants can't pray. Or give backrubs. Or make Christmas cookies. On second thought, maybe I don't feel so much like a fire hydrant.
And I am very thankful for God's grace.

yay BEXX!!! Yay yayayay! I'm SO thrilled for you!!!!! Countdown's done and long-distance is over!!And you're SO right, it's MUCH better to not be a fire hydrant. Becuase cross cultural transitions are SO much easier when shared with people who understand why they are so difficult. You're amazing my red-haired rommie. I miss you! Say hi to one Daniel Fuller.
Becca,
You are part a community of TCK's, and you all understand what it is to walk through this process -- and Dan is learning what it is all about.
I loved tskd's comments -- remember to respect, even when it hurts, cause you can't agree with it. There is lots of worth in it -- after all we start somewhere, and that starting place is usually home (with its culture and quirks).
Becca, glad you are part of our home and family -- and that your starting place was here (where ever that was).
Love you,
Papai
