So, I'm back in Canada now and I'm really beginning to think that God has this funny sort of sense of humor. I had so been looking forward to a more mild, warm winter when I came home, but it was as if as soon as I got off the plane the weather changed and became unbearably cold. Yes, unbearably. I have not left the house yet today, and I don't really plan on it. I can't bring myself to do it. Plus, I'm struggling with a terrible bout of jet lag, so it might just be best that I stay in. Speaking does not come easy to me at the moment.
I have much debriefing and processing to do in the next few days. It's strange being back, and yet not strange at all. Maybe that's why it's so strange. Driving on the right hand side of the road really throws me off though. I just can't reconcile it in my mind. Everytime we turn a corner I become incredibly confused. Maybe I'm not road worthy yet. Watch out for me!! If you see some big, white car stalled in the middle of the road it's me, and I'm thinking. "Am I on the appropriate side of the road?".
I hope to see everyone soon...it will be great to catch up and hear how you are doing, and what's been going on in your lives in the last month. Let's do coffee, ok? And rice. I love rice. And anything else warm because my body is rejecting me. Seriously, what's up with this weather?

I choose to blame you for the cold weather. Seriously, It was nice the whole time you were gone...now that you're back...?
My parents are not too impressed either. They just got back from Mexico on Thursday
PS. I have a fire!! You could come sit by it;)
Yeah, a cold snap...you are back from Thailand and the new pastor arrives...today? Too funny!
Can't wait to see you.
Welcome home Jess, we sure missed you! Todd and Andrea said they saw you at the O the other day, sorry I wasn't there for that.
Give me a call and drop over for coffee anytime - we'd love to see you when you have time. I promise to have the furnace turned up for you, and a nice warm throw to snuggle up in if it's nasty outside. :)
I'm watching the news right now, and they describe the chill that has descended upon Canada as an "Arctic Vortex". Some places apparently feel like -40 or -45. I love how that's pretty much the inverted temperature of Thailand (at least when we were there...ie. +40). Poor Jess. I have a ton of rice, and I'm more than ready to make you mugfulls of hot tea.
