Calculator, Vanilla Torta, and a Husky

Carol and Andres came to pick me up from the airport. It was fantastic, like nothing had changed. 
We got to the house and I gave a HUGE hug to Gaby and Wilma and met their new husky dog, Yana. It was a bit strange at first of course, because this was a new house and all, and I felt out of place... We chatted, shared maple cookies I brought, and I met Gaby's boyfriend Juanse. Gaby is pregnant 6 months! Crazy! I also met Luis, Carol's brother. He seems nice. The boys made the bed in the room I'll be sleeping in. Wilma made a fantastic "welcome" cake for me, so that was absolutely touching, and we all ate with tea. 

Not going to lie, though. I forgot how much energy there is all the time. It's fantastic energy! And I feel welcome, of course. I just need a bit of time to adjust, I think. It's funny how being thrown into something all over again can feel so wonderful but confusing and loving yet strange at the same time.
