I am finally home!  I am pretty out of it from jet lag; I left Korea at 4:30 pm Thursday, and got to California at 11 am on…Thursday.  Stupid International Date Line.  Anyway I got about 5 hours of sleep from Wednesday night on, and no matter how hard I tried to sleep on that damn plane, I just CANNOT do it.  I got about 3 hours over the whole flight, but managed to stay up until 9 last night, and we slept until 7 this morning so…with that and the GINORMOUS coffee that John just went and got me I should be good by tomorrow or so.  However, I fully intend on using jet lag as an excuse when John brings up anything unpleasant.  "The realtor is going to showing the house, would you mind helping me clean it up a bit?" "Um..gosh, LOVE to, but this jet lag…little tired, you know?"  NOOO not really, jeez, I’m not THAT lazy!  Actually, John has worked pretty hard on getting the house ready to sell, it looks really great so not much for me to do, (thank god).  Speaking of the realtor, we went and signed all the paperwork yesterday, our house is officially on the market!  We priced it about 10K lower than the other houses in the area, which might be mean but see, we have this thing called a time limit on this whole house selling thing. 

You guys, it is SO NICE to be home!  Like, even better than I thought it would be; as we were landing, I just kept thinking, "I am coming HOME!" and it was instantaneous tears, which was a little weird because while I was completely excited to see John, and definitely looking forward to seeing not only the girls but my family and friends, I wasn’t expecting tears at the sight of LA smog and the hot, dry, brown desert off in the distance.  I mean, um, gross.  SMOG?  Weird.

So we made it through the LA traffic and as soon as we got home I immediately took a shower to get the dirtiness of traveling off of me, and then after a few errands, stopped by and had some Mexican food (nine months is WAY too long with no Mexican food, I don’t care what anyone says) and did a perusing the aisles at Target and then finally, home.  At that point, man, I was TIIIIIRED.

Right this minute John is showing off his XBox 360, which of course isn’t new to him, since he got it for Christmas but of course, I have been dying to see it (not really).  I mean literally RIGHT THIS MINUTE he is showing me, while I’m typing this so it’s a lot of "wowww!" and "yeah that’s SO neat!" and he TOTALLY knows I’m pretending but it doesn’t really matter because he’s the best.  I love my husband.  Did I mention I’m happy to be home?  Xbox 360 demonstration and all?

Anyway, we are leaving soon to pick up the girls at the airport.  They have no idea I’m here already, and think they are picking ME up at the airport tomorrow…I LOVE SURPRISING PEOPLE!! But I just wanted to let everyone know I was here!  Pictures and more posts soon!

Auf Wiedersehen!!!
