Gone Little-Swimming

I love the sun. I love light. It has been cloudy and rainy for the last week-ish, so once we saw the sun we held it tightly. It stayed for us today. I have a whole lot of pictures and words to say in my stacking unfinished posts. I'm trying to get them reopened and finished. And in the meantime, this happened yesterday and it was their first time in a "pool." They had fun. And I basked in the sun.

Here's a picture of my pasty legs for ya.

David kept trying to drink the water.

We east coasters should take more time to play with ninja turtles in little pools. The parts that felt like home: lying on a beach towel in the sun, wearing a bathing suit, and eating a steak burrito I made right after. I mean, come on.

P.S. This is what I'm listening to right now - in case you wanted to hear what I'm hearing and be happy and dancey. 

Sheetz

There are a lot of funny things about this place. One of the funniest things is that there is a gas station called Sheetz, and it's not just a gas station, but a sit-in restaurant. Pretty much everything is made to order, and people LOVE it. They go there for dinner. And lunch....and any time. For christmas I got a coupon book just for Sheetz and a $20 gift card there from people at work. I will admit they have good hot chocolate, and hot any-flavor-you-can-think-of.

Oh the many sad wonders and joys of central PA. 

Updates

I wake up really early every day now and hang out with intelligent/socially awkward/silly people and plant things so I can test them for nematodes and other parasites. I'm tired most of the time, but I'm also learning a lot of cool things and it's fun so the days go pretty fast. Anyway, that's where I've been. 
Plus Thanksgiving weekend was really fun. Dave's sister was in town and we were out and about so much I almost forgot what our house looked like. 

Also, I finally got to make dinner tonight - which I haven't been able to do in a while. We haven't had any money so his parents were feeding us dinner until I started working at the Greek restaurant nearby and was able to bring home food every night. I worked until 7 or 8 every night too. Now I have an awesome job that ends at four every day! We are finally getting settled in to this town and feeling the blessings of good choices. That's all for now folks.

These are the streets I drive now. Maybe I should start dressing like Jane Austen.
