Home!
I have officially been home for almost a month now. I mean yeah, it has been interesting. I have enjoyed so far my re-entry into this place called home. No doubt as one can expect it has been quite a change of pace and scenery from what my life was for a year and a half. It is just really challenging to try to keep alive what I lived, and I feel that the more that I become accustomed and re-acculturated the more that I feel my experience is fading in a way. It is sad when things here are not weird anymore, because it is beginning to seem that everything that I lived is so far away and here I am again at home, and life normal and straight. I guess the reality of it all, is that yes, it is far away in South America. From now on it will be a struggle of mine to keep alive what I lived and try to build it into my identity as a North American womyn.
I have spent the last month in Salem, living a "chill" life. I stay indoors most of the time, watching movies and staying out of the rain. I visit people occasionally, but most of the time I am here in my house with my brother Sam, Scott and my parents. This past week was spring break for the people with school, so Salem has been more dead than normal with everyone out of the State going to a hot location. On Monday I will be heading for Eugene for the next 8 weeks to work! Yes I got a small temp job with the Muscular Dystrophy Association helping them out with a fundraiser and it looks as though I will be living with a girl that I went to high school with that is a friend of my brother Patrick, her name is Karina. SO little by little all of the pieces are slowing fitting together. I hope that I will be able to find something more permanent while I am in Eugene, we will see. I am excited for all of these changes.
Here are some photos of the “chill” life that I lead, but I cut my hair I forgot to mention this exciting news tidbit…....short with bangs, it was a impulsive cut, but hey I live on the edge. Oh yeah and my cat is obese, we have to take her to the vet for fatness, poor itchy.

Loving the bangs! New haircuts are refreshing. My advice is buy some clips because the wispy bangs take a little getting used to. When I cut my hair my neck was soar for a week because I kept trying to shake the bangs off my forehead by jerking my head sideways (it looks sexier to do the head jerk than to just use your hand to push them to the side... you know me, always worried about the sex appeal). But yours are a little shorter than mine, so maybe you won't have that problem. Either way, I love em! Poor Itchy Jinglebell!

P.S. You know how your head is always smaller than everyone elses in pictures... well it doesn't look as small when you are holding a baby.
Ems-- Where have you been all my life??? I am so glad I got your email with your phone number, sorry I haven't called sooner but I just got the email today (I rarely check my hotmail account). We missed you at Liam's birthday party! I hope everything was okay. When are you coming up to Salem next? Do I need to drive down to Eugene to see you, because I just might!!! We miss you here.
love,
Becster
