Waiting...

Lately I feel like I'm waiting for everything. Waiting for this stupid heat wave to end. Waiting for my baby to learn how to sleep without someone holding him, or how to sleep more than two hours at a time, or how to be awake without screaming. Waiting for S-Boogie to be a little less stubborn and a little more comprehensible. Waiting for my stomach to go away so I have clothes that fit. Waiting for Master Fob to get a better job so I can buy new clothes. Waiting to find out what we're going to be doing this fall, where we will be living and where Master Fob will be working. All this waiting is stressing me out!

At least one thing we're waiting for is actually getting closer to happening. We're going down to my parents' house in Las Vegas on Thursday. My youngest brother, P, is coming home from Russia on Wednesday and we're all getting together to celebrate (I bet he's going to be pretty weirded out since Vegas is pretty much the complete opposite of Russia). Master Fob is coming back up here next Monday, but I'm staying down there for at least another week. Even if it's hotter than Hades, it will be a nice break for all of us. Plus they have a pool and air conditioning. Even more importantly, according to S-Boogie, they have a kitty cat. I'm just looking forward to having other people to hold and soothe the child. Speaking of which, he's actually sleeping peacefully in his little bed, which means that I need to get into mine. Maybe tonight will be the restful night I've been waiting for...

And Kitty Cat is anxiously awaiting her arrival--emphasis on the anxious--(HA HA--have you ever seen an ANXIOUS cat?? NOT)
The pool is waiting, so is the sandbox, and so are the arms of gramma and gappa to hold and bounce and soothe the LD.

I totally understand the annoyance of waiting for stuff. I am waiting for a lot of stuff too right now. Waiting for anyone to respond to my job applications... waiting to see what I'll be doing and where I'll be after I graduate in a month and a half. It's so stressful! Best of luck to you, and enjoy your break!

Hurrah for grandparents and air conditioning! I hope it's cooled off by the time you get home. I can't believe how hot it's been in Utah.

Don't you love the waiting game?! Glad you get to see family though, and soon. Kudos to you for getting sleep while he does; I need to log off and do that right now, actually . . .

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".

Coming Out in Public

A little over 6 years ago I was on my mission in Madrid. I was transferred to new area at the same time as another elder. I remember asking him if was really from Hawaii, since he was so tall and blonde. We ended up serving together in the same district for nearly seven and a half months and had a lot of good times together. He was actually nice to the sisters and a hard worker, without being too zealous and overbearing. I knew he was going home just a month before me and planning on being an English major when he got back to BYU. When I was transferred out of that area, we exchanged emails and addresses and promised to get back in touch some day, like I did with a lot of other missionaries. I got home in January and started trying to contact some of the people I'd been friends with back in the mission. I emailed this particular elder and found out that he had gone to the computer lab that very day in order to email me. We started emailing each other and talked on the phone a few t...
