Hi, hope you are having fun & learning a lot. Tell me something your Christmas. And if you don't get back home, just think of how many new things you'll have to share with everyone. I spent a few years abroad, of course I had a husband and was building a family at the time. But it turned out to be some of the best time, learning new & different customs and celebrations, and when I got homesick, I always reminded myself that it was only for a few years and I had my European & South of France vacations when I could barely make ends meet. I also met some of the most interesting people during that time. Take Care and enjoy life. Love 'Ya Teedy
