We shall not cease from exploration,
and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

home.
this august/september we had the wonderful oppurtunity to take a two-month sabbatical/home leave. all told, we slept in 22 beds, took 16 plane rides, were in 3 weddings, & ate 2 pizza hut lunch buffets.
the sabbatical truly was a time of rest & renewal for us. we had an amazing time relaxing with with friends & family & enjoying all the comforts of being home. it was just the break we needed to came back to Cambodia with renewed energy & sense of calling as we begin our next two years of work here.

we spent the first half of our time in north america with my [amanda's] parents in western new york. they were such gracious hosts & we enjoyed whiling away the august summer days with them.

The time went way too fast. I wish you were right back here to enjoy this lovely autumn with us. From special events (Blaine's wedding) to everyday moments (cooking dinner) it was a blessing to share the days with you.
