New blog!

Well, friends, although I had to leave Ukraine, I realized that I don't exactly have to leave the blogging world. So, if any of you are interested in following the progress of my reentry and readjustment back to the US, you can follow it here. I won't be posting much more on this site, but I will do my very best to keep everyone up-to-date on my new site. Thanks for all your support over the past two years. It's been so much fun!

The Actual Goodbye

Sunday morning (last Sunday, of course) was about zero percent fun. Amiee and I had to finish cleaning out the very last remaining pieces of our lives from the apartment (did you love the dramatic effect I just threw in?) and turn over the keys to the landlord. Then, we headed to the train station (in 2 taxis...too much stuff) for the 7:40 train. When we got there, several of the guys from church were already waiting for us- to help us with our luggage. While we waited, more and more friends arrived to see us off. It was so very very kind.

The whole gang...plus our suitcases. Oi. Those suckers were almost the death of me.

Waving from the train. That was awful.

This is my last post about life in Ukraine, but it won't be my last post. Never fear: I will keep a running update of the life of a reverse culture shock survivor. Get excited!
