May is here!
Can you believe it? In just six short weeks we'll be back in the USA...and there's so much to do before then!! We just had Family Fun Day yesterday, when all the kids and their parents (about 500 people!) were divided into 20 teams and competed in various carnival-type events, a lot of which were held in the pool. Despite the forcast of rain, it turned out to be a beautiful day and a lot of fun.
Our friend Paiboon was also here! He and his wife went to our church in St. Louis and helped us tremendously with Thai language and culture before we came. He was stopping through Chiang Mai while visiting for a few weeks, and came by the school yesterday. It was great to see him again! We were able to go out to lunch with him and a friend of his who is a pastor of a Thai church here in Chiang Mai. We had a nice time.
Other than that, we're starting on preparations for leaving-at this point, mostly just making lists of things that need to be done before we go, and thinking of things we'd like to buy. It's hard, because there are tons of things we'd like to bring back as gifts for people (and some things we'd like to have for our house!) but since our luggage allowance has gone down since we came, we're trying to keep things to a minimum. Plus, Jeremy and I will be travelling back separately, and I don't want to be too much of the burden on the people who I know will have to help me with my luggage!
