Home Again, Home Again...

Jiggity Jig.

Did your mom ever sing that little tune?

Because mine did.

But more importantly,

I am back in the US of A.

And I've never been so happy to see that red, white, and blue.

It really takes living in another country, 

on a remote island,

without electricity and McDonald's

(Yes, McDonald's... don't judge me. You would have missed it too if you ate beetle infested rice for 2 weeks. And I might have cried the first time I ate McDonald's when we were back in civilization.)

to realize how much I love America.

I mean sure we have nasty public bathrooms

but we don't charge money to use them 

(in most places)

and we give away toilet paper freely.

We also have plenty of public transportation,

hospitals, 

and hot showers.

I missed this place.

Anyways,

I'm back from my service expedition from Fiji.

A trip like this is such a unique experience

and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity

to serve the people of Fiji and live with them for 2 weeks.

And no, even if you are Fiji it is NOT a vacation.

I've had to clarify that a couple of times.

I will be writing about my experience there in a few posts soon.

But,

that Great Gatsby though...

I knew it was coming out while I was gone

and I made sure Anders took me the night after I got home.

I'm still thinking about it.

Can't get enough of that soundtrack.

Not to mention all of the other amazing shows that I missed while I was gone!

New Girl

Revenge

The Office

Nashville

It's going to be a busy week.
