Coming Home

So before I get into the seriousness, I would just like to say VIVA QUITO!!!! Today was like one of the most important days of the Fiestas de Quito and everyone was partying. We even had a party at school. I am planning on writing all about my day today tomorrow morning, because I have a different matter to discuss with you.

Some of you may have noticed that I have added a new "gadget" to my blog. A countdown, to when I go home. Looking at this many of you (those who have been paying any attention at all) might have been confused. So I will explain. I am coming home a month early.

Before any of you go insane with questions and exclamations of surprise and things, I wanted to explain a little about why I made this desicion.

I know that by just reading my blog you might not be able to guess how homesick I have been, I tend to only like to write blog posts when I am happy and want to tell you my story. My journal, however, rarely gets the good things, and often gets the sad things. But basically, I have been really homesick for the past 3 weeks or so and seriously thinking about going home. This Tuesday I talked to my parents about coming home, and they listened to me and understood what I was saying. Mainly, my biggest fear/complaint (not sure what to call it) was that I didn´t want to miss a christmas with my family. I know that there will be times when I have to miss christmas with my family, and when those times come I will make the best of them, but I had control over this one. I could change it so I was happier, and so I did.

I have been thinking and praying about this desicion for a while now, and I truly believe it is the right one for me. I know that maybe not all of you would have made the same desicion. But this is my desicion and one I intend to stick by. I am going home for Christmas!

Love,
Zoe

P.S. I have once again had technical difficulties, and the new gadget has not posted :-( But basically what it was supposed to say is that my flight home is scheduled for the 19th of December and that I have 2 weeks left in Ecuador.
