Makin' Decisions

So, I have officially decided to stay put for next session. It turned out to be a stressful decision, but I'm really happy about it now. Why?

1. I get to see my kids through the full year. 

2. I am obviously comfortable and Si Racha and like it very much.

3. I can continue to visit the orphanage and build relationships with those children.

4. All my paperwork and visa information for Si Racha is taken care of already.

Those are my only reasons, but they are enough. I wanted to move up north so I could a) live in a house, b) see and travel through a different region of Thailand, c) be around more westerners and friends, and d) have a more rural Thailand experience. I have realized though I can have all of that the following session, and still fulfill what I unexpectedly consider to be my obligations here.
