A is for America, and all the conveniences that you find there
M is for movies and bowling and being able to go out all day long
E is for everything. You can buy everything in America!
R is for relatives and friends who help you celebrate the important things like birthdays, baptisms, and holidays.
I is for information technology. You can find whatever you need online. Weird, huh?
C is for coffee, big, enormous, steaming cups of coffee, and cooking pork products at all times of the day
A is for America, my favorite country in the world.
About a week ago, I returned from a two week visit home. It was absolutely wonderful. America did not disappoint. I had a great time catching up with family and friends, going out, dressing up, eating all sorts of marvelous foods, and just generally enjoying myself. It made me realize that I'm starting to get to that point where I'm ready to be home for good. I said starting to realize people! I'm not coming home tomorrow or next month, but I am starting to look forward to going home after I finish this service.
Life in America is still pretty much the same as I remember it. Sure there are a lot of new crazy contraptions out there but I'll figure them out some day (electric cigarettes; who knew?!). I can still go to a store and find an entire aisle of just bread. I can still go and have breakfast at 2 am or 5pm or anytime I feel like it. Americans still drink coffee by the gallon. America is just as amazing as I remember.
While I was home, my aunt threw me an early Thanksgiving dinner with all the classic dishes. It made me realize how lucky I am to have a family to support me through all of my adventures. I am very thankful for all that they've done for me over these past 3+ years with the PC. All the care packages and cards and skype dates have helped me make it this far. I am so lucky that they are and always will be my family.
There's so much more I could say about my trip home but I'll keep it short today. Overall, great trip home and America is still awesome. 'Nuff said :)

I, for one, will be thrilled when you're back stateside permanently. A few hours was all too short! But enjoy this last year...it will go fast.
