Greetings from Los Angeles! I've been back in the US for almost 5 weeks now, but today I am heading back overseas to visit Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia.
My time home ended up being great. I was somewhat apprehensive to come back for fear of boredom, but I was actually really busy the entire time I was home. A lot of people I know who have spent significant chunks of time overseas say it's tough to get re-acclimated once they get home. Aside from jet-lag, I didn't have that problem at all. There's no re-acclimation period that a good nights sleep, Mexican food, and my truck can't solve! While I was home, I saw friends (not as many as I would've liked but some is better than none), spent Christmas with my family, celebrated my dad's 60th birthday, my 28th birthday, and Aaron's 31st birthday, saw OSU win 11 football games for the first time in school history, partied with good friends (old and new) for New Years, attended my first Thunder game, signed a lucrative free agent contract with a new softball team, and attended Zach and Tia's wedding. It was also nice catching up with my finances, working on my house, driving my truck, sleeping in my own bed, going to Quiktrip, and much more.
I can't say I'm as excited to leave this time around as I was the last time. I really appreciated my few weeks of sanity and organization while back in the States. Don't get me wrong, I know the next few weeks of traveling will be amazing, but displacing my life again after just getting resettled has me less pumped (yet still pumped) this time around.
Next update will be from the future!
Cheers!
The future is now Alex. We need an update. Do you live?
