My Final Post

Well this is it. Tomorrow we head to Sofia and then Wednesday I am headed home. So here are my final thoughts on my Bulgarian experience. Overall, this has been much harder than I expected. I have learned more than I expected, and definetly build a solid base which I hope to build on. I have realized how much I love my home by being away for six weeks. I have also learned a lot about being in a country where you do not speak the language. I will have more respect and patience for those who do not speak English in the States.

I think the most important part of this trip has been gaining a deeper understanding into my husband. The way he thinks and approches life. It is amazing to see how much he has changed over the years and I respect him for everything he has overcome. He truly is an amazing man and I am blessed to be his wife.

I feel myself becoming tired, frustrated, and pestimistic (which is not ME). So I think it is time I get back to Indiana and recieve some loving from my two little cats. I am ready to hug my nephew and say hello to my parents. I am ready to share my stories and sleep in my own bed. I am ready to get back to studying medicine and trying to figure out my residency. It is time to jump back into my life in America.

Then next time you hear from me I should be in Indianapolis. I hope all goes well and I have better luck on my trip home than we did on your trip here. Thanks again for all of your comments and e-mails. I miss you all very much and will see you soon.
