Back in the U.S., Back in the U.S., Back in the U.S.S....A?

Well, my desire for snow and wintery weather has been denied by Bosnia. Actually it's been quite warm here making it very enjoyable for walks during the day but also at night! Pretty surprising for Dec. 8th, especially considering I heard there was snow in October last year. I'm sure there will be plenty of cold weather ahead so I'm taking advantage of this weather while it lasts. Of course it's supposed to snow tomorrow right in time for my departure on Friday, so let's hope that holds out for a while.

Speaking of my departure, I am USA bound on Friday. I can't believe it's here already! I feel like I just bought my ticket. Time flies. I will be spending my first weekend in Boston, then traveling to Chicago for a few days then settling in for the holidays in Toledo. I'm really looking forward to it. I need a break, I need a little time to recuperate and recharge my batteries and get some energy to come back. But, I'm also looking forward to coming back. Things are going well here. I feel more able to move around but also just more comfortable. I stopped by the Pidros' last night and it was so nice to see them and catch up a bit. I've also made some friends and am having more of a social life so you know, slowly things are coming together. Which really makes sense because everything in Bosnia moves slowly (except the drivers!).

No real updates besides that. I guess I'll have a little hiatus while I'm stateside but I'll be sure to blog when I get back, especially since I'm spending my first New Years abroad! I guess it makes sense that I'll feel really comfortable right before leaving but hopefully that'll just make me want to come back that much more! I am, however, really looking forward to seeing everyone back home and catching up and spending Christmas in Waterville. Fingers crossed all traveling goes well (and I still have to decide if I want to get the body scan or the pat down, sounds like a lose/lose to me...)
