It's strange the way a week can change your view on the world. It's ironic the way a couple of things can make your perspective and life a little brighter.
The biggest news is that Mandy is back in the States. She sounds tired but glad to be headed home to her family in a couple of days. I've prayed so often in the past months that she would get home safely and that somehow this time has been good for Mandy, beneficial and good for her perspicacity or something.
Mom and Dad flew down last night--spur of the moment as only Dad can do. I think we got home Sunday afternoon around 2:30 or 3, then Dad booked tickets, and we left for the airport around 5:30. Cool. I think Mom will be expressing her love through shopping and Dad will be expressing his love through pinnochle. What a great family.
The other bit of news is about becoming a full-time, faculty professor. I haven't accepted the offer, but it is on the table for next fall. More developments to come.
There is other stuff, but mostly, it's strange little stories and interesting moments. It's a time of excitement and transition, but all is good.
