We can hardly believe that 6 months have passed. It seems like yesterday that we were at the O'Hare airport with my mom, waving goodbye. When I think about all we have done though, I can't believe we have only been gone for 6 months. It seems like years. We are having the experience of a lifetime, and are so fortunate to experience it together. Sometimes in SF we were lucky to catch up on weekends when Chad was traveling but we have now had the treat of 6 months of days spent together, enjoying life and the road.
What do we miss from home?
First off, family and friends. It is hard to keep in touch over email, and we miss everyone very much.
Cooking our own food. For 2 people who never ate out at home it is tough to eat out every meal(especially when you are vegetarian and you have no idea how they are preparing food).
Crossing the street without taking your life in your hands. Motorbikes are crazy everywhere. They go out of their way to try and hit you.
Not having to bargain for EVERYTHING on a daily basis.
Drinking water from the tap. Yep, we have not done that in 6 months.
Showering without sandals on...and not over a toilet in a cramped bathroom with a hand held shower head.
Chad wanted me to add that he also misses wearing blue jeans...and lets add washing machines while we are at it. 6 months of hand washing takes a toll.
What are our plans when we get home?
Our plans are still up in the air, but first thing: getting a dog…..after we decide where to move, find an apartment and get jobs of course.

You start off with a tease on the microbrewery and then nothing else about it, what a cliffhanger. Thought of you guys, yesterday when I thought about GABF. Miss ya, we will have to reunite for it next year.
Okay, I will not complain about the 100 degrees on the first day school and yes we do have air. That is hot! The beer looks like it helped. We miss you too!
Met up with Asby, Buncok, Bart, Mytys, and others last night for a few beers in Old Town. Had a nice chat about you guys! Take care!
