We were sure welcomed back to island!!...NOT! we came home to car troubles. We got to our friends house who picked us up, and our car wouldnt start. Not even for a second. We thought first it was the battery so we replaced that, then Huston and a friend tried to take our starter out to see if they could replace it. They worked on the car for like 6 hours and couldnt get to ONE yep, just ONE bolt to take out the starter without taking everything else in our car out. By this time it was almost 10 at night and we still were not yet home in our beds. Keep in mind we had just gotten off a 6 hr flight with NO sleep the night before. ... are we happy to be back????? ha! .. Anyways, our KIND KIND KIND neighbors( The Erb's) had flown in at around 8 ish and were not yet home, they were closer to town side when we called thankfully, so they willingly picked us up from our friends house and took us home. Its really hard to ask for help when you need it, but they made it easy and seem like it was no trouble thankfully. We are grateful for them for doing that. Anywayss... long story short, the next day we were able to tow it, get it fixed and pick it up. Lucky for us for not having classes the first day back.
Anyways, now that the car is fixed we are back to normal. In school, working, and just playing when we can. I finally am not working sunday's anymore, but i do work full time. School is going to be a busy semester for us both, but we will make it. I am not as sad as i thought i would be coming back actually. I really miss home still, but i feel revived, and like our 2 week vacation was PERFECT. Hopefully that revival feeling doesnt wear off. I need at least a couple months homesick free. haha. Maybe year 2 away from home wont be as hard as year one. ... lucky for us we might have a promising year as far as visitors go!! Hopefully we can convince everyone to get thier rears out here to see us!!
Conclusion of this post: After a very busy 2 weeks, and even busier first 2 days back on the island, we are settled in and doing FINE!! Miss you all!
