Default Finally back home...

I finally made it back to the states!

I've been working overseas for the past couple of years and it feels good to be home. It's always a strange feeling coming back... everything is just so quiet. I'll be starting school again in the Fall, but until then I've got nothing but time. Here's to traveling in more peaceful places, and hopefully a chance to meetup with some of you guys this year!

oh, wow! umm.. welcome back? I'm not sure if you can actually welcome someone to a country you're not in, but... you know what I mean. Good to hear you got home safely!

Welcome home! That is a long time to be away from home.

Welcome home, bro ! Yeah, that quietness that you get when you come back home from being away for so long is like getting home from clubbing all night and having that buzzzzzz ringing thing in your ear drums.

Everything is so quiet and now it's time to reasses all your options. Have fun !
