Hey All! I've got good news, we made it out of the Atlanta airport. We arrived in Des Moines around 1 am and promptly went to sleep. We spent the next day acclimating to our new timezone and spending time with my family. Yesterday, we drove to Appleton by way of Iowa City and Madison. We made stops in both cities to catch up with some friends we haven't seen in way too long. Now we're in Appleton and we're not leaving for 2 whole weeks!
It is wonderful to be back in the US. In fact, it is hard to believe we haven't been here for almost 10 months. We've had a few funny moments since being back that were strong reminders that we are no longer in Germany. For instance, when we go places everyone speaks English. That's kind of weird actually. I have to be more careful about what I say because the people around me here can definitely understand what I'm yapping about. Also, when I look at a menu I don't have to start figuring out how I'm going to order my entree in German. I can just, you know, speak English.
Anyway, the next several weeks will be filled with a lot of family time, which we are both very excited about and grateful for. After we leave Appleton our travels will take us to Door county, Minneapolis and then back again to Ankeny. I will continue to give you weekly updates on what we're doing even though we're not technically Chenda in Germany. I hope you all have a great week and I'll talk to you soon!
