We landed today back in St. Maarten and somehow things feel different. This is the last semester I have here on the island and I can' t be happier that my time here is almost over. Not that being here is awful or anything, far from it- it is pretty easy to get used to the same exact weather forecast day in and day out.
I suppose I am still a little upset after last night's tear-filled goodbye with the kids. This time was particularly tough. Not only will I miss them just as bad as I always do, and they will me, but after just meeting their little sister they have to say goodbye without having even a full two weeks to get to know her. Maybe I am just getting sentimental in my old age but I had a really hard time this break saying goodbye. Making it worse was the fact that during the entire 10 days we were home, our time was monopolized by a frenzy of running around getting things together and moving all of our junk into storage and closing on the sale of our house. I can't wait to spend time with them when I don't have a million things that have to be done.
1700 miles never felt so far. December can't come soon enough.
