Tickets have been purchased and La Hija and I are headed down to El Salvador again for Nuevo Año! Originally, I'd thought I needed to return by January 5 for school, but it turns out we aren't back in session until the 19th! That brought down ticket prices about $350 each, so I bought our tickets last night after speaking with Mi Prima.
I had not heard Mi Prima's voice since we left El Salvador after the funeral, so we were both so excited. A bunch of hysterically happy women screeching in Spanglish. It was hilarious! So, La Hija and I will be there for a full 17 days, and I couldn't be happier. I'd asked if that was too long and Mi Tia said we could live there forever--I told her to be careful what she wishes for :)
This is a huge bright spot for me. I know it will be difficult, but the holidays will be difficult in general. I am just so thankful that I will continue to spend holiday time with Mi Familia--both American and Salvadoran.

I am extremely pleased to hear this news. You continue to be in my prayers. May you feel God's touch during this continuing journey.
I am praying this gives you some much needed time to be close to the family. I think of you often. God bless you and keep you safe.
So excited for you! Hope it's a fun and relaxing time for you and La Hija!
Steve, Mama Sprout & LSLS: Thank you all... it will be a good trip. I think it will be a reality check for the both of us, but that is needed... and for as hard as it will be, we have great support there.
