Thoughts Thus Far

This is the weirdest thing ever. I don't generally do things like this. I'm safe, predictable, boring. I can't believe that I'm actually going so far away for the summer. I would've been just fine staying in Smithfield, working at McDonald's, just like I've always done.

I can't believe that I'm doing this. It's a weird feeling, knowing that I'm not going to see Liz for three months. That's what I was the most upset about when I left this morning. I can't just drive home in a couple of hours like I did in Ephraim. This is very uncharacteristic of me. I'm apprehensive, but excited. :)

Observations so far:

I haven't seen a single LDS church house.

People really do have the Minnesotan accent. The weird o's make them sound like Sarah Palin.

I met some people tonight named April and Devin. I was longboarding with my little cousin and he ran over and wanted to talk to them. They have a little boy his age, and three girls who are triplets. They were out on their porch enjoying a glass of wine. Which was weird to me. Just because it never happens. They were so friendly and sweet. It makes me realized that people don't have to be Mormon to be nice.

I'm gonna get lost A LOT. None of the roads are organized. They're all curvy and not numbered.

I really like my little cousin John. We read stories tonight and went longboarding. We share a room, and he's a cutie. He's super polite. We were out longboarding and saw a car drive past, and he asks me "Where are they going?" So I said, "probably to their house." and he said "can we go hug them?!" He's friggin' adorable.

I miss my sister.

I miss Colton and Texas.

I'll take pictures of the new place as soon as I'm all settled in :)

First day of work is tomorrow. Wish me luck.
