Back in Texas

I've enjoyed writing about life in Peru so much on the Lima 4 blog and reading friends' blogs that I decided to start my own. 

My first day back from Lima has been good!  My sister surprised me by showing up at the airport with my mom.  We were all so excited to see each other back in the USA!  After leaving the airport we went straight to Rosas for the burrito I had been craving basically the whole six months in Peru.  Yum!

I got my nasty overnight-flight-face made brighter by Cynthia at the Laura Mercier counter at Nordstroms.  I'm usually not all that into make-up or willing to have a makeover, but it was so relaxing.  Plus I feel blessed to have met Cynthia and to get to talk to her about a little bit of everything.

Later we visited the townhouse I'm going to live in here in Dallas.  Let's just say after living in a studio apartment my last semester at A&M and a not-quite-as-furnished-as I'm-used-to apartment in Lima, the townhouse is going to be awesome!  Even without comparing it to my last couple places, it is really nice and seems to be perfect for what me and my roommates will need.  I would love it if the three of us girls were covered in prayer as we start this new bit of life.  We don't really know each other yet, but I'm praying that the Lord bless our relationships and our townhouse to make it a loving home for all three of us.

reminds me of the Goodfellow's house in Lima

Definitely the most exciting thing about my day was getting to see family, especially adorable baby Lyla!  Enjoyed a hamburger cooked by her daddy and got to have some great cousin time before I head to the lake tomorrow to see more familiy.
