Things have simultaneously dragged on and flown by--when school is in session (if we have school) my days are packed and busy from sunup to sundown. And when there isn't school...well, I always have my adorable little kindergarten kids to occupy my time and have water fights with.
I don't really know what this next year will hold....School starts October 1st (but then again it did last year, and nobody started teaching until the middle of November) and from then it's just a short hop, skip, and hammock swing to Christmas. Not to mention all the nice little festivals and holidays in between. I figure that maybe what made most of last year go so quickly was breaking it down into small two week chunks. No matter how things are going, if I just break them down to two week chunks, it always seems more manageable.
And here, sometimes you really just need something to cling to!
The really nice thing about this month was having my parents here to visit, and showing them my beloved country. We had a blast at Angkor Wat, despite the crazy heat wave. We also went and hung out with my host family for a couple days and that was SO much fun. We spent a week down at the beach, and we saw everything there is to see in Phnom Penh.
It was so nice to get lots of hugs and snuggles and even hear my mom say, "Nikki! It's too hot to cuddle!"
Whatever the next 12 months hold, I'm excited for the ride. Here's to another great year in the Kingdom of Cambodia.
Love and blessings!
