pretty much perfect

Monday night I arrived back from a quick, busy, crazy vacation with my parents that was just about as perfect as it could have been. They were, as I anticipated in my last entry, the most appropriate Christmas present I could have received, and the trip was a much-needed break. Now, its back to normal life in Ha Noi--with a greater appreciation for how incredible it is that I have started calling this "normal."

I plan to write a detailed entry about our trip, but have decided to wait until I have uploaded some pictures--hopefully soon!
