So I have officially settled back in here in Nicaragua with minimal difficulty. As many of you know, I was in the United States for the awesome wedding of Todd and Amee. The weather was perfect and due to my current living situation, I think I was the only dude who wasnt annoyed by the bugs. The food was great and greatly missed. An extra special shoutout to the day I ate tomato sauce and meatballs for two different meals.
Eric made the event extra awesome by meeting me in Miami and traveling with me up to Virginia. We checked out some vineyards with pops around the Charlottesville area.
We were able to make a trip down to Lexington to see the other side of the family. I am so lucky to have been able to see 99% of my family in about a week`s time!
Lastly, a big thank you to my friends who were able to make it down to see me and also another big thank you to my sister and parents who busted their asses carting me around like I was in middle school again.
Until something interesting happens here…. Adios.

Hey Lucian,
It was a great week for all. The most important part is that you did not miss Todd and Amee’s wedding. It was wonderful for all of us to get together for this very special occasion. It was such a beautiful and joyous time. I look forward to seeing you once again in July. Take care and continue to do the very special work that you do. We are very proud of both you and Jillian. Oh, by the way I totally enjoyed driving you around. We sure did make the rounds. Be safe and enjoy every challenge.
Con mucho amor,
Momma

Life does not get better …you, Jillian and Eric together at the same time, it has been such a long time. You three are the life blood of my world. Although you are so far away, you are always with me. Thanks for the time with us and thanks for sharing yourself with the wonderful folks in Nic. Always with love, Pops.

Hi Looshie Wooshie,
I just read your latest blog. I know you were happy to be here for the wedding and to see your family and friends. I was so happy to see Eric again. I can’t even put into words how great it was to see you. My vacation at the Jersey shore starts in July.
I’ll get to spend some time with Aunt Cathy and her family. We met Jillian in Charlottesville on Father’s Day. We went to an Indian restaurant and had some spicy, tasty food. Then we went to the old downtown mall and walked around. We always think of you and
how we miss you. Take care and I love you so.

Hay Lucian, Wasssup? I’m glad we got to see you
when you were in. The first year away really
sucks, don’t it? But it will get better, this
I know for sure. Take care and be safe.
Gene, Debbie
P.S. Keep your head up high and you will overcome
Luciano,
Mi corazon! It meant so much to me to see you shaking hands with Andrew. I’m so glad you approve!
I’m having a hard time finding a place to get married! The way it looks, we might end up just getting married in the streets of Harrisonburg! The 24th is Memorial Day weekend, so it’s hard to find a place. Anyway, hopefully we’ll find a place soon!
Spending time with you was wonderful, though short, and I can’t wait till you come back!
All my love,
Kacey
Hi Lucian!! It was so good to see you. You look awesome and it is nice to see you doing so well. It has been a long time since we were all together like that. Looking forward to Christmas and celebrating Milly’s 90th when you are back. I’ll write back soon.
xo,
Lisa
Lucian,
How about an update?
I am getting requests to pass along to you.
Hopefully, you’ll get a chance at a computer.
I love you,
Momma

Hi Lucian, I was just thinking of you and thought I would write and say hello!!! Hope you enjoyed your visit with your Mom. Summer is going by so quickly. We are potty training Nicholas these days so lots of fun!!! Hope all is well down there!! Love and miss you lots!

Ciao, Luciano.
I second your mom’s request for an update. Gotta let your fans know what’s going on. Everything is fine here in Rome (and it seems also in Benin). How about Nicaragua?
All the best from the PZs.
Manolo (as you will forever remain to me, although “Looshie Wooshie” is tempting)!
Momma filled me in today. I am so glad to hear that you are better than well. How often do you get an opportunity to update your blog? I’d like to work you in to my level 4 class this semester. Maybe you could do some in Spanish? Pretty please?
Abrazos,
Kim Hook
