So I went to the swear in ceremony for the next group (Group 9). So now their are 37 more here in the country, 5 are pretty close so will probably continue to see them in town. I have meet many of them in town but got to really hangout with them. They are going to there sites for the first time today and I remember back to when I arrived at my site (which was my birthday, by the way). How much of what was new is now normal.
It is interesting one year later how much our Group (Group 8) now sound like veterans. And it cause we are.
2012 is looking busy.
