Post script - things I missed

Rereading yesterday's post I realized it all sounded a bit too rosy.  Has this been fairly easy, yes.  But not without some moments of missing home and a little frustration.  3 significant events happened last week that I am very sorry to have missed.

• Kansas/western Missouri division's Officers' Councils.  Always one of my favorite times to be with my officers and share in worship, teaching and fellowship, it was really hard to turn that over to someone else.  I love those officers and care about their spiritual development, as well as just love being with them and having fun.  I'm sure they had a wonderful and inspiring time without me but I sure missed them.  
• My good friends and team partners, Doug and Janet Rowland, retired on Saturday.  We spent the last months praying together, planning and hoping for Janet's health and for a great celebration.   I know they had a great day but I sure missed them.
• My family celebrated a baby shower for Matt and Jamie.  I love being an aunt and will love being a great-aunt.  I know they had a fun time together but I sure missed them.  

And then the small frustrations.  Too many to mention and normal for any first week in a new place.  I know that I reach a point where I can't manage any more new things and that point has probably come more than once this week.  Am I doing fine, yes.  But some days, I just want to crawl into bed when I get home from the office (and sometimes I do!).
