Post from Michelle:
I've been home for two days and little things fill me with amazement, things that I took for granted before I left. I feel like a small child walking into a toy store. In awe and excitement, I brush my teeth with tap water, wash my clothes in a washing machine (not a sink), and drink freshly brewed coffee. I use ice in my drinks, talk to friends on the phone, and use a hair dryer to dry my hair. Simple things and yet things I have lived without for the last year. I'm sure the novelty of it all will wear off with time. But until then, I will continue to "ooh" and "aah" with delight.
