We're home! What a trip!

We arrived back home on Tuesday, and have been loving seeing our family and friends, and our kitty Simon! We seemed to have just missed the worst part of winter too! Living in South America is not as rough as you would imagine, but it sure is nice to be able to get in our car and drive where we want, drink tap water, eat food without washing it or worrying about where it came from, etc. It's the simple things like having soap and paper in a bathroom here all the time too, or not having to pay to use a public bathroom. Sacrificing just a few comforts though was so worth it in the end to see the beautiful places, experience a different way of life, learn the culture, practice the language, eat the delicious food, meet inspiring people, and last but not least, love on the adorable kiddos! I still can't believe we're done with our trip...Although it was a long time, we were so busy all the time, that the time went very fast! It was a once in a lifetime trip, and soooo worth it! We're so glad we did it, and would recommend to anyone that has it in their heart to do something like it too. It taught us a lot...we will make sure to spend our time doing things that we love now; taking risks to do what we love is worth it, because life is too short, and there's so much opportunity to do what we're meant to do.
