Been Facebookin' Instead

For the one or two readers still out there, sorry I've been out of touch. More sorry for myself because I love having this blog as a record of our lives. SO much has happened since I last posted. Our family has grown by 33% for one thing! And due to the lack of readership here, and the ease of quick posts there, I've been keeping people up to date almost only on Facebook. I really don't even email anymore. But because I don't want this blog to go away altogether, and because I don't want to lose what I've put on FB, I've decided to try and put up here all the posts I've put on FB. I'm dating them the actual date I posted them on FB, so if you subscribe via RSS and you get a million old posts for me suddenly, that's why.

Take care!

Oh and PS can you do me a favor? I'd love to know if there are more of you here than I think. Please wave a little hello in the comments for me, so I know you're still here (even if you read this months from now). Thanks!!

How we're doing right now.

April 6th, 2009
Oh man, moving back home has been quite a transition! For Regin especially. It has taken him three months to return to being fully, or almost fully, potty trained. But we're home and happy to be with friends and in an environment where things are easier.

But of course, not everything is easier. George's first day back to work he learned that the company was exiting the business and he and all the other people that work on that product (including all those people he trained in Penang) were told to look for other jobs.

His last day was March 31st. No time for that cozy little 'sabbatical' though; after he finished his last day of work, his family called and told us they are coming (from Florida) for a visit on the 10th! This would be no big deal (other than being terribly exciting) if we were fully moved back in, but of course, until now, we've had VERY little motivation to fully unpack! So now we're preparing the house at warp speed!

You know, I do miss Penang. Hard to say what I miss exactly, because I know it's more than our friends there, but I feel a certain pang. And all the time we were there, other than missing family, friends, easy living, and snow, I never once actually missed 'Colorado.'

When we got back to Colorado, I expected to have a new and complete love for the place. I do appreciate some things a lot more, especially visual things. I see beauty where I didn't before. But it hasn't been the feeling of home that I expected, and I still have some of the same issues with the place. But what I do love IMMENSELY and will always love IMMENSELY is the people we have here. And it's been absolutely amazing to see how Regin has picked right back up where he left off with his loved ones here. There's no doubt in my mind that he somehow remembers them.
