Jet Lag 2-Huffmans 0

It's 9:03 am. So far this morning we've read books, gone to the 24 hour Walmart twice, were the second customers in line at Biscuitville this morning at 5:30am, played outside for an hour+, had 1 1/2 baths, watched cartoons, had second breakfast, and now we're getting ready to go to the Library. At one point this morning about 4 am I found EG squatting on top of my parent's potty like she was using a squatty. It was a funny reminder that we are in no way adjusted to life in America just yet! The best part by far has been seeing my parents and having them enjoy time with our kiddos. So good to be loved by family.

Our trip went well overall but it was by far the most exhausting route we've traveled in the many years of flying back and forth. The 7 hour layover at JFK went by fairly quickly but at that point I started feeling really dizzy and nauseous like you do when you've stayed up all night at a friends sleep over. Our whole family took a 6 hour nap yesterday and totally bombed the "get over jet lag quickly" plan. Oh well. Today, though we got off to an early start, we are feeling a lot better and really hoping to get back on the beat jet lag bandwagon.

Today EG told my mom that her body still feels like it's in KC (our little town in China). It's so true. Our bodies and our hearts are still there really. In moments of silence on the plane or riding in the car I've felt deep sadness rising in my heart as I think about the life we are leaving behind. I am excited and hopeful and really grateful for where God is leading us, but I know we will never really "get over" China. I've just been trying to nestle down in the love of God and remember neither place is my home and remind myself that he's the one leading so I can be content and trust him, and enjoy where he has put us! So now I'm off to enjoy where he's put us...MEBANE PUBLIC LIBRARY HERE WE COME!
