Coming Home

After months of debating, deciding, flip-flopping, and agonizing, we have made our decision to come home. Obviously there were a number of factors to weigh, and at one point, I even made a list, and though the decision was tough, we feel a peace about it. That being said, we will miss Prague terribly, and the people in it. We made some good friends while we were here, and will take some great memories home with us.

We have been asked many times if we are looking forward to going home, and some people ask if we are excited to leave Prague. The answer depends in the wording of the question: Yes, we are looking forward to be back at home, with our loved ones, many of whom we haven't seen in almost a year. But no, we are not excited to leave Prague, and I don't think we will be quite ready for it when it happens.

The game plan:

Finish work around the 17th of July

Leave for Greece on the 25th (I am beyond excited for this trip - 10 days in Thessaloniki, Athens, and Santorini)

Leave Greece for Frankfurt on Aug. 4th

Standby for home beginning Aug. 4th - we hope to be home by the 5th or 6th at the latest.

When mom was here, she took a lot of our belongings home, so we should only have to travel with carry-ons and our big backpacks. It looks like it should work.

And prayers are much appreciated on the Job search front. We have been applying quite a bit, and no responses, but we have faith that God is going to provide, and prayers are still appreciated. The transition back home is going to be a big one.
