From Benin to New Jersey

I feel like Forrest Gump. "I'm home Mama." Well, it's true. Ryan and I arrived on Saturday evening at Newark International Airport. Mom and Dad were there and Mike and Eleni were at the house when we arrived. My mom got a huge sign that went across the front of the house to properly welcome us, as well as some accompanying helium balloons. The flights were fine, but the experience was exhausting and I was practically asleep on my feet for the first 48 hours or so.

Since we've arrived we've eaten Tony's pizza, Mimi's Italian ice, delicious bbq, leftovers, desserts (including a tasty root beer bunt cake), and a fudgie the whale ice cream cake. Yesterday we went peach picking, which was a really nice throw back to North Carolina. Except we paid for the peaches we picked here... Well things are shaping up nicely. We're actively looking for jobs, so hopefully our dream jobs will come through shortly.
