Welcome home

I've been home for a week now and it still feels surreal. In the ten months I was gone Marshall, my 14 year old brother, grew two inches taller than me. Brittney became 8 months pregnant. Adrienne started wearing makeup and the such. And Luana Jane grew the most with her new teeth, coordinated feet to run around with, and the words she has learnt.

I almost got eaten alive by the Mosquitos that swarmed me as soon as I stepped outside. I nearly got on the next plane back to Paris because I just was not use to them! Plus, the bugs seem to like my frenchy blood, which doesn't help the transition. 

I've talked so much about my trip to France, that my voice grew hoarse after the third day of being back. The common questions:

How was France? 

What did you do again?

How was the family?

How's your French now?

Have you decided what you are doing this fall?

I'm almost tempted to write down all of the answers and just hand them out when I go see people.
