Happy One Year as Volunteers!

I can't believe I've been in Belize over a year now, and this got me thinking...

You might have been in Belize too long
~when it's 75 and you're wanting a blanket for your afternoon nap.
~when you go to visit a neighbor and as soon as you walk in the house, start dancing to the marimba music playing on the radio without thinking twice.
~when you get excited about the Apple for Amy facebook group because you think you'll be sent real apples to TASTE test.
~when you can whistle by squeezing your bottom lip together and call that an accomplishment.
~when you state the obvious as a question.
~when you wonder what it feels like to not be itchy all the time.
~when you can drink a cup of powdered milk.
~when the latest news you have to share is the huge snake you saw while walking down the road and you feel the need to tell everyone in your village.
~when you fi.nally know the bus schedule. (well, I'm still working on this one :P)
~when you're wanting to learn how to make more and more so you can buy less and less.
~when you have a suitcase full of letters from home.
~when someone asks you to sing the national anthem and you start with, "O Land of the Free..."
~when you automatically look for a shilling bag hanging to throw your trash away. Agh! When you call a plastic bag a shilling bag.
~when you're making a list of favorite Belizean songs and have to take one off the list because you realize it's by Akon.

Whatever will I do when I come back to the States?

Loves and hugs!
