It is getting to the point that I am thinking about what we are going to do once we return to Kansas. Kevin is behind on his school work so we are not sure when he is going to finish up his thesis now. I don't think it will be too much longer than we had originally anticipated. We planned on moving at the end of August because he was supposed to start his job the first week of September. Now I think we might be in Kansas about another month. So we will move at the end of September. I am not looking forward to Kevin being as busy as I know he will be once we get back, but hopefully I will be busy too!
I wonder if it will be difficult for me to get back into "busy" mode. I mean I have been NOT busy for nearly 4 months now. Though I don't particularly like being bored and having not much to do, I think it may be quite the adjustment to go back to being busy. I think that it won't be so sudden though. I mean I have to find a job and we have to figure out where we are going to live etc.
I am looking forward to it all though. It will be nice to get back into my comfort zone again. Well, I am actually comfortable here now (except that it is so hot, but it will be that hot in Las Vegas anyway!). I know my way around and how to get the things that we need. I get to cook with Lise a few times a week, and I have my violin student too. We also have made friends here and are used to the way it is. Our room is "our room". In fact, it is getting pretty hot and the last few nights I haven't slept quite as well because of the heat. We have the fan on and use no sheets or blankets on us, but it is still a bit too hot. We have been told that we should ask for a air conditioned room for the remainder of our stay but I am a bit reluctant for two reasons. One is that we have accumulated so much stuff and it is in piles and in the closet and drawers etc. all throughout the room. Second, this room feels like home now. I mean, if it gets unbearable I guess we will see if we can move but for now it is still okay. Kevin never seems to be too hot! He loves it! I kind of wish he could feel the heat a bit the way I do so he would have more sympathy for me...sniff sniff.
We had dinner at Jorn and Lise's again last night and played 10,000. That is a dice game that is really fun. But when we got home I looked at the clock and saw that it was midnight! I felt so bad for staying that late! I don't wear a watch and they don't have a clock in their kitchen or living room so I don't realize what time it is. I am so embarrassed that I am going to have Kevin keep track next time on his watch and tell me when it is around 10 pm so that we can make to leave. I feel so bad for keeping them up all night! I think that I have a lot more energy at night here because that is when it finally starts to cool off, sometime around 8 pm and then I have a second wind and can stay up really late. But they aren't quite as young as we are and I need to remember that. Oh well, hopefully they forgive us!
Kevin ordered a bunch of stuff from the LDS distribution center. He got some especially for youth packets and books of Mormon in Tamil and English, also some pictures of Christ and copies of "The Proclamation to the Family". Oh yea, and he also got a DVD of "Finding Faith In Christ". He is going to give the DVD and the pictures to the fellowship. I am not sure what he is doing with the rest of the stuff, I think he has specific people in mind for the Books of Mormon. He is so much more thoughtful and brave than I am when it comes to that kind of stuff. I sure can learn from him!
Well, that is all for now, I am going to go lay under the fan until Kevin comes home.
