It's hard to believe that we have already been in Eugene for 5 days. Micah has gotten to hang out with his cousin Riley several times, and it has been great to see the two of them have fun together. We have spent a lot of time with my parents and sister, and also got to see my brother and aunts and uncles. We've also been able to read, study spanish, and even go on a date! Overall, we are having a great time with family.
But as much fun as we're having with family, it is still hard to be away from Seattle and to know that we are not returning in the near future. We will not spend every Wednesday night with some of our best friends. Hailey will not spend Sunday afternoons with Danielly at D-Group, and I will not spend Wednesday afternoons hanging out with John. We will not see our church family every Sunday morning. We will not have friends over for dinner on a regular basis, nor will we get invited over for dinner at friends' houses often. We will not have Friday night "Movie Nights" after we put Micah to bed. All of these things we will miss. All of these things we are already missing.
But we are still excited for our time in Honduras. I will follow up this post with another that has pictures from the first week of classes at the University I will be teaching at.
