Today we miss our dishwasher, but we know that in two weeks we will miss the tub of our Guatemalan dish soap.
Today we miss the smell of our apartment, but we know that in two weeks we will miss the familiar yet still foreign smell of Casa A.
Today we miss good old mac and cheese out of a box, but we know that in two weeks we will miss fried plantains and black beans.
Today we miss the rolling hills of Indiana, but we know that in two weeks we will miss the majestic mountains and volcanoes of Guatemala.
Today we miss all our favorite TV shows, but we know in two weeks we will miss swapping movies with the other Americans here.
Today we miss the comfort and safety of being able to go out after dark, but in two weeks we know we will miss the comforting sound of the guards whistling when they walk by.
Today we miss the faces of friends and family, but we know in two weeks we will miss the smiling faces of Evy, the cooks, the kids, the house parents and everyone here.
Today we miss English, but we know in two weeks we will miss Spanish.
Today we miss carpet, but we know that in two weeks we will miss the familiar tile floors.
Today we miss the USA, but we know that in two weeks we will miss Guatemala.

Congratulations with the grants Sophie! That is great. And with the teaching offer buddy! I'm sorry I missed you guys on yahoo chat the other day, I was meeting with my PI, and it turned into a 9 hour ordeal. May be I should just email you guys, but this is fun. You two are great. I feel blessed just knowing you guys. Keep up the good work! Indiana can't be that great, can it? You guys have volcanoes there.
