The Eagle Has Landed

This time last month I was with ISV in Thailand. In the last three weeks we have given away alot of our stuff, packed our bags, said "adios" to the Dominican Republic, and said "Hey, how's it goin', eh?" to Cambridge, ON. We've moved into a second floor apartment above FEBCentral's office, where they are also letting me borrow some office space until we get things set up here. In fact, tonight is our first night in the new place, after enjoying the gracious hospitality of the inlaws for a week or so.

What's it like being home? Not as radically different as I was expecting, but then I've been off the island a fair bit this year. It is nice having constant electricity and water and internet access. And it's nice having lines on the road that mean something. We do need to readjust to the higher cost of living here. I have some work lined up for next week, and Lynn will begin circulating her resume to help make ends meet.

We are really grateful for all the ways folks have helped us with the move back, from financial gifts, to help unloading trucks, to donated furniture and watching the girls as we sorted through stuff.

Today, Lynn and I celebrated 16 years of wedded bliss. So after a day of unpacking, we went out to a Thai restaurant near our new place. We were reflecting on the milestone things that have happened on our anniversaries. In 1992 we moved to Grand Island, NY. In 2004 we made the decision to move to the DR. And here we are in 20067 beginning a new chapter here in Cambridge.

I think Lynn starts getting nervous every time August 10 rolls around.
