Well I'm glad you're back. And I'm not a blood rvlatiee, and I enjoy reading your blog! And fair warning- get ready for the longest six weeks (hopefully less!!!) of your life. Ugh. I'm not far behind you, but I gotta admit it was the absolute WORST with my first, I guess because I didn't have other monsters to take my mind off of it. And hey, if you're ever bored and looking for practice taking care of some kiddos, meet me at the pool!Hang in there. And I agree, Christmas on Guam SUCKS. We decorated our tree and then went to the beach. It's messing with my head!!!
