Time to go back to reality.

As we are sitting at the gate waiting for our first 9 hour flight I have some time to reflect.

This was an AWESOME adventure but it is safe to say we all miss home. It was great to spend time with family and see how the other half of v56 farms live. As different as it may be to us, they love it. We miss our crazy schedules and little together time but the time we do spend together is priceless.

Lyndin misses her animals more than anyone can understand. Every time we saw an animal she just melted over here. We all miss the freedom the farm offers for us 3. Lyndin has her daily chores which she enjoys doing. What would take us 10 minutes to do takes her 1 hour but we wouldn't ever speed her up. I will never let anyone take that freedom and chores away from her. It is her time to be alone with her animals and unwind from the day.

I miss the flexibility of being able to go and do what I want when I want. In Africa we needed a driver everywhere we went. I enjoy my freedom to plan my own schedule and just go. I also miss the quite and serenity of the farm. With just the three of us there it is quite. The animals respond better to quite soft voices to lead them and with just us 3 we can offer that.

I think will misses the freedom to do what he needs to do. At home he goes and does what he needs without a worry where Lyndin and i slowed him down here. I think he finally realized why I ask for 5 minutes alone when he finally walks through the door at night. I may not always get it but hopefully he will now understand why I need it.

We are all ready to go back to being a family of three and back into our routine. We are ready to break Lyndin of same bad habits she learned over there and go back to our normal.

It is 10:30pm in Africa so our first flight is over night. Praying for lyndin to sleep so maybe I can get some rest.

Talk to everyone when we get HOME, WHERE OUR HEARTS ARE!
