I can't even believe how far communication has come. I can be in Switzerland and text anyone in the entire world for free. That is mind boggling. I can skype chat when I want, which is also free. I can call from skype on my computer, which is not free for me but not a lot of money. Not to mention email, facebook, etc. I feel like whenever I get homesick I use one of the many forms of communication and I feel better.
Being 6 hours ahead is not always fun though. When it is noon here it is only 6 am in Indy. I always feel like I can't talk to my family/friends till around 3-4 my time. Then at 7 I am off to dinner. I just feel so thankful for moving to Europe in this day and age. Back in the day when family left each other they didn't get in touch nearly as often as we do. They sent letters and postcards that would often take months to reach each other.
I get on Facebook and can see what all my friends/family are doing around the world. It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside :) There is also a website that I can go to and pretty much watch any television show I want. That was the biggest concern of mine. I love watching reality shows and I thought to myself how am I going to get away from these for 2 years. Well now they have a site that lets you watch anything. I just feel so blessed. I feel that I have it so much easier then past generations. In the future when I do get sad I just have to remember how fortunate I really am. God is good.
