I'm back in the States! After being awake for almost 24 hours, it was great to see my family and my best friend waiting at the airport... although I almost didn't recognize my "little" brother, he's grown so much!

This week is more than a little crazy, as I'm getting ready for the movers to come for my (admittedly small amount of) stuff, getting paperwork taken care of, etc etc. After this week I should have a little time to relax!

I still do a double-take when I realize I can fully understand every conversation I hear around me....
