Ok, so I was reading my post from yesterday and I am now wondering if you were all as confused as I am. I don't know what I was trying to say. Sorry for the ambiguity. I guess it was late and I wasn't thinking straight.
I just feel a bit confused about the impression I have given regarding my state of mind. I don't want to sound like I am just bursting with happiness and I don't miss anyone. That is definitely not true. I have tried to focus on the good and be positive... yet I don't want to be fake. Like I mentioned in the post yesterday, I have some gloomy days. I am not, on the other hand, completely miserable either. It's a very strange place to be, and by that I mean the state of mind one finds oneself in when moving around the world. I appreciated what Michelle said because I know that she can relate, after living in Paris. You just don't ever feel completely settled and 'at home'. This is something I am learning to understand, deal with and overcome.
Thanks for your words of support, letters, emails, packages, etc. You don't know how much I appreciate them. It's good to feel loved! Mom sent a great package today with 3 outfits for Ashley and it was so fun to open it. Thanks Mom! Hallelujah for Global Priority Mail.
Note: the tall building in the distance is the same building in the photo from my post yesterday. It's called Q1 and I think it's the tallest residential building in the world, or something like that. Interesting.

It nice you clarified because I still felt like I didn't know how you were feeling. I can never tell if you just don't want to really say, or if you're just not sure of your feelings yourself.
P.S. Global Priority Mail mocks me.
Robyn, I talked with my sister in law that just moved to Houston and she told me that they were all pretty much stuck in their apartment waiting until my brother gets off work to come and then go swiming for a while...but they will be there pretty much (until the end of the month--they will move to another apartment until their house is ready at the end of the year...) but have no car (other than the one my brother is driving to work) and she still doesn't feel brave enough to drive over here...but they have no one! I mean, as soon as they start going to church they might find some friends...but I felt sad for them, because it is a hard situation ever which way you look at it. I thought of sending them videos since the children are all diferent ages...(9 year old, 6 year old, 3 1/2 year old and 1 year old) but their stuff from Australia is not there yet either. So I was feeling sad for them, because truly now they really don't have any family or friends there! And probably no computer at least for another month! oh the only thing is that they got verizon phone and i have that so I can call them periodically to see how they are! So maybe when things like this happen we should all take in account how hard transitions are--which I know you probably experienced moving over there! and try and see the positive in everything...she is experiencing the total same things that you did...a family and extended family just 10 min away...plus friends and everything....so don't give up and stay positive, I think life has a way of weaving memories that later you will cherish! hey mate?
