How do you cram meaningful visits with all your family and friends, 19 medical appointments and shopping for a year for 5 people into one month and relax? Well, I can tell you that you don't but I certainly tried. 
Dennis was with us for the first two weeks of back to back get togethers. He returned to work not having had a 'vacation' really since the pace was crazy but having spent time with people that are dear to us.
Over the next few days I will try to reflect on the lessons learned and the observations we made about ourselves and life in America. No doubt the biggest observation was a continuation of a lesson we learned when we left Augusta last August to move and that was that we have an amazing community of friends...wow...amazing! Even my mom commented on the unusualness of it. These are people that have loved us in very generous and unselfish ways from afar as well as in person. I can live without the medical system and the cheaper and greater variety of the stores but what I miss most is the people. People that know your story and your sin and love you anyway.
