Things are Growing

Well we have been back in beautiful Michigan for a week now and have been slowly readjusting to "society" here stateside. It has been rough at times to transition and Luke and I were both "deathly" ill for a couple of days. After getting bloodwork and a million other tests done the infectious diseases doctors determined that we had just picked up a nasty bacteria or parasite somewhere along the way and most likely once we were back in the states. But we are both almost 100% recovered so that has been a blessing. 

I have been suffering a little postpartum depression from not spending 24 / 7 with Luke since we've been home and getting back to our lives. I really do have the best big brother ever and i really enjoyed spending the whole month with him. It certainly wasn't our first adventure and certainly wont be out last but it truly was an amazing one. It was an incredible experience and I couldn't think of someone i would rather go on an adventure with.

On another note; the Chairman sent us pictures from the garden today and he said our field had "incredible germination results" which is AWESOME. It means that all that hard work we put in making those furrows is paying off and will continue to enormously help the community there. I can't begin to express how happy that makes me. 

I hope you all are doing well. I kinda miss writing to you all via the blog every day and just might have to start posting more regularly. And don't worry...we have LOTS more pictures that we are going to post. 

Suffer for others,

Adam
