Retirement 101

August Philip went through the motions to retire. It was very humbling to see friends and family from all over the states. At least once a week I tell him that I am so thankful he is home now. The reality hasn't completely hit. We did switch back to making a month of menus to ensure we didn't eat out. Being an American family isn't any busier than a military one overseas. There are great differences in the culture. The biggest adjustment for me is being able to understand the language being spoken. Most times I prefer not to and miss simple nods and smiles.
