Some of you know that we've had some friends here checking out the area before they move here next year. They were very gracious in realizing that we are in a strange state having just had a baby and struggling with visa stuff, but it was still odd to have folks observing our life and coming to conclusions about the area as a result.
I'm not sure how often you have the chance to look at your life from someone else's perspective, but I found myself being rather self-conscious at times (= It was also a great chance to share what we enjoy about being here (though we were pretty limited in what we could do because of the heat, the border and our itty bitty baby).
All that being said, I took our friends up to D for them to have some "touristy days" and to decompress a little before heading back to the US after being here for 7 weeks. It will be strange to not have them around! Layla has really enjoyed them and they took both kids overnight when we went on our spontaneous little anniversary trip last week (Thank you Tom!)
So if everything goes as planned, they'll be back in our neck of the woods next year!
(I tried to add some pictures of our time together but it isn't working. Guess I'll try again later!)
