Oh Monday, here you are again...

So...it's Monday. The apartment always seems so empty on Monday. David is off Fridays, so we get to spend the whole weekend together. But, then Monday morning comes and he has to go back to work.

I feel so lonely here in this apartment all week by myself. Since I am not working yet, I am tackling laundry, dishes, and other household chores to keep me busy. Laila is a great comfort to me and really helps me not be too homesick. I think if I didn't have her, I would just sit and cry all day.

We are SO thankful to be here in SA and for this amazing opportunity, but it doesn't make it easy being away from all of our friends and family. Everyone says it will get better...hmmm...I hope so.
