We road-tripped back to Bozeman with Tim's mom in mid-July and have been settling in here for the past few weeks. Jenn is working part-time nannying and Spanish tutoring and Tim is working part-time on a home construction project with an old friend.
We have been reflecting on our year-long trip and every time we end up saying, "Wow! It feels like we never left." We still can't really believe that we pulled it off... a year-long trip. It is nice to be getting back into a routine and not planning every day for travel logistics. That said, we are so happy to have had this experience as newlyweds. What a way to kick off a life-long partnership!
