My husband is Australian so it didn't take him any time to get settled in again. There are still days when I have no idea what I'm doing here. Most Americans have no idea how different Australia actually is. Mostly in the little things, ie words, food, drink, etc. It really is so easy for that homesickness to creep up on you. Something I struggle with all the time. My father-in-law is an evangelist and travels all over the place. He's been up to Darwin recently. Have you heard of Fraser Young? Anyway, hope you enjoy your trip back to the States in just a couple of months. My family is flying back at the end of November for Christmas. It will be 4 years since I've been back at Christmas time and I can't wait :) Oh, there is a place called USAfoods in Melbourne if you're ever craving some American stuff - expensive, but worth it for those special occasions. Also, groceryrun.com.au has American things occasionally as well. Hope that helps a bit :)<br /><br />LydiaLYoungnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835864986698249558.post-72733494636042650602012-06-29T13:10:10.495+09:302012-06-29T13:10:10.495+09:30Hi Jen

Time is the biggest thing. Your first year is the hardest, but even then the waves of homesickness will still overcome you sometimes, but it does get less & less turbulent. <br />Praying for you <br />Renata :)<br /><br />PS. It's been 5 years since we moved & it's still those little things that I miss about being up in Qld.Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546331512433403550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835864986698249558.post-5823800136442475442012-06-28T16:37:11.337+09:302012-06-28T16:37:11.337+09:30I can very much relate.

It does make it easier, but yet sometimes harder when you see what all everyone is doing. God has placed where we are for this day and we just have to keep our focus on Him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
