After spending time with family and friends for 80 days in the States, this transition back into our life in Madrid has been more difficult than the first time.
The first time we left the States to move to Madrid, it was new, exciting and unknown. This time around, it's daunting and a bit depressing. For 80 days we got to hang with people we love and not work! It was wonderful and life giving. Now we sit in our apartment knowing more of what's ahead... 25 hours of work but having to be there for 40 hours, missing out on our community back home.. etc. On the other hand, we are very grateful my sister Brianna is here with us. We've had fun already having her as our roommate!
This isn't to say we aren't looking forward to all this year has in store for us here in Madrid, but to share our feelings at the start of our experience this time around. Here's to this next season in Madrid and all that it will bring!
