Goodbye Spain, Hello Seattle!

It is good to be home!  It is also good to be welcome back by an immigration officer.  I always dread going through customs upon returning to the US because most of the time they don’t appear to like us resident aliens; however, I got in the shortest line with the longest wait but I got a nice welcome from an immigration officer, so all is well.

Thanks to Esteban, Antonio & Samuel, who came to our hotel in Madrid and took us to the airport and waited for us to go through security.  We truly appreciate your hospitality and for your time.  Thank you Alex, Pedro & Daniel, for taking time to show us around Madrid – it was fun!  Thank you Jona & Lara for taking care of us and doing all that you did to make our visit smooth.  Thanks Tan & Kaarin for allowing us the experience and opportunity to share our lives.  Thanks for taking care of all the details and for looking out for our needs (even the need for WIFI) :)  We are looking forward to seeing you soon.  We have been blessed, so thank you Alavanza 2009!

It has been a weekend of adjustment and I think I am slowly recovering from the jet lag and from being tired.  It started to flurry yesterday so that was a nice treat, no sticking snow though.  Back at work today, haven’t resumed full duties yet (waiting to meet up with my co-worker) but been pretty busy already.

Now, back to reality, so until next the next post, blessings.
