If you hadn't noticed, some pictures that I posted earlier of Nikolay are now missing. I didn't know he was so vain, but apparently he didn't think that he looked good in some of them, so I removed them per his request the two pictures I am posting today are from 2000 and 2003. He found them on his old hard drive today and emailed them to me so that I could post them. I think it is cute that he even cares. He does look good in them. The funny thing about the one by himself is that he didn't even want me to take it. He doesn't like to smile in pictures. I like how jovial he looks in that one, and that is hard to capture on film (how would you say that now with digital cameras?). The other one is in front of the San Diego temple. I am going to count these pictures for today and yesterday's.
I am finally making some friends here and I am so excited. Yesterday a mom, from down the street, knocked on my door with her kids to introduce herself. Her husband actually grew up in Utah and most of his family is still out there so we have some things in common. She likes quilting like me and is going to show me a good fabric shop. I am going to start a new quilt pretty soon and I'll tell you who for later.
Another mom, from our ward, invited us to go swimming with her and her kids today and that was a lot of fun. We played tag in the pool. It was great. We are going to see them later this week too.
I have had the same check out girl in the grocery store 3 times in a row and am really starting to feel like I live here not that we are just visiting.
