Ending a chapter...

Back in H-town!

Friends and Family,

THANK YOU FOR JOURNEYING WITH US
For those of you who faithfully keep up with our blog and our updates of our life overseas these past 2 years, we are so grateful for you! Your love and care for us means so much.

It's sad to realize that the title for our blog is no longer relevant, as we are no longer living "life in a new place" but rather, "re-adjusting to life back at home". But we don't want to change the title of this blog quite yet, since we are still nostalgic and want to keep the memories alive. =)

CLOSING A CHAPTER
With mixed emotions, we officially close this chapter, and begin a new one -- one that includes parenthood. Hmm... that should be interesting!

We have 2 1/2 more months till the baby arrives. That means 2 1/2 more months to settle down, transition to life back in America, catch up with friends and family (we hear it's harder to do this once baby arrives!), sort out all of our stuff, figure out a name for the baby (any suggestions?), learn about childbirth, and do everything we need to do before the baby arrives. Wow, it kind of seems overwhelming!

OUR BLOG
Since we are now back in the States, we're a bit sad that we won't have "Life in East Asia" stories to tell anymore. So we are going to give this blog a temporary "rest" while we figure out how to live life in America again! =)

We may revive this blog again, once we have baby pictures to post! So please stay tuned and return to visit when November/December comes around. Hopefully, by then, the wave of nostalgia may have passed and that we'll be ready to change/update the "title" of this blog. =)

WHAT ARE WE DOING NOW?
We will remain in H-town for at least a year. For now, Edwin will be doing a ministry internship and will eventually start taking seminary classes. And Lilly is so excited to get to return to her favorite pharmacy (BCP Veterinary Pharmacy) as a part-timer.

As for the future, we'll just have to wait and see what God has planned for us...

STAYING IN TOUCH
Please stay in touch! We would love to hear from you. Our e-mail address is edwin dot Lilly at gmail dot com. =) Or you can post a comment on this blog, and it will get forwarded to our e-mail!

Signing off for now...
Love,
E&L
