I have been spending the last couple of days relaxing in Dallas, and visiting with my family. It has been so wonderful to see them with my son. He hasn't gotten to see his grandparents very much, and it means the world to me that he is getting this bonding time before we leave. Thank God for Skype! He recognizes their faces from our many chats, and it will be how he gets to spend time with them over the next two years.
It is really difficult for me to come to terms with the fact that he will be almost 3 years old when we get back. I am so thrilled for the opportunity that he has, at this young age, to really get a taste of a different culture. But, it has been very bittersweet as it sinks in how much time he will be missing with his extended family. He has two younger cousins that will, no doubt, be best friends by the time we get back, and he will be playing catch up. However, I am still very excited about this experience, and, at the end of the day...he gets to be the cool kid that lived in Guam!!
Tonight the plan is to finish the delicious latte that my step-mom whipped up for me, and then cuddle up with a good movie and my family.
Goodnight, All.
