I keep meaning to blog.
I keep thinking of thousands of things to say.
I keep seeing images and visuals that I desperately want to share with you all.
It is hard to put into words what it feels like to "be in India." Sure, the immediate and easy answer that slips off of my tongue if I don't mind my answers is "it's hot" or "it's humid" or "it doesn't smell like the United States." But it's so much deeper than that. There is so much to experience at any given moment, that I'm trying my darndest to just soak it all up.
Bear with me ... and I'll try to "do it" justice.

I think we are doing the best we can to adjust to the time change difference ... we all sleep when it's dark and have done a decent job of being awake when the sun is up. We have done our best to stay hydrated and only drink filtered water. I am feeling a bit under the weather (not sure if its the beginning of "Delhi Belly" or if I'm just wiped out) and the kids desperately are longing for something (a/k/a toys) that belong to them. Terran is slightly frustrated that while he has a brand new cell phone (YES! He has graduated to being a "big kid" and finally gets a cell phone!) ... that he can't text his buddies from the United States.

Our shipment of household belongings is due to arrive Wednesday, we hope. I am still drafting my formal complaint letter to Allied Van Lines, and won't bore you with the details of my sheer aggravation and utter frustration with this part of the process.
If you are going to be making an international move without the assistance of the government/military, please feel free to email me for my observations, suggestions and tips on what questions you need to ask and what information you NEED to know before you embark on this journey!

I'm going to investigate some options to be able to provide you with easy access to my photos, without having to leave the blog site ... stay tuned on that!
I also hope to eventually begin responding to your thoughts and questions here directly in the comment section. Please feel free to check back often to re-read the comment thread/string!!
