We've reached the end of Week 1 in our adventure here in Connecticut. So far, it's not too bad. We're staying with a really nice old couple--the Capsons--in a cute little modified Cape Cod house. Our room is very yellow. And it is very MOIST here. Bleah.
Michael really likes his internship at Pratt and Whitney. He's doing... stuff on the computer, basically, he's making parts better. He's got a comfy little cubicle in the middle of a floor. But, if he can stand up, he can see out the windows. :) He really LOVES all the green, and LOVES taking walks when he gets home. Yesterday, he went with Bro. Capson to Sprindfield, MA, to help clean up after the tornado from 3 weeks ago. He cut up trees, got dirty, and had a great time.
I haven't really done all that much, since I haven't been feeling well the past few days (I'm all better now). I just finished
Ender's Game (by Orson Scott Card) the other day, and am currently listening to
Sabriel (by Garth Nix, read by Tim Curry). Next on my reading list is
Heir to the Empire (by Timothy Zahn). I'm excited to reread that trilogy! My other project is my Sakura steampunk costume. This week, I hope to start and finish the shirt, and work on the skirt next week. The corset... I'm a little afraid to start. >.> But I can do it! :D Today, the choir sang in church. I got roped in to sing with them last week, found out the piece we sang today had a flute part, and offered to play! (despite lacking a flute!). It was a good, easy piece, and I've actually had a couple of people ask me to give their kids lessons! Something else I can do with my spare time, haha. I'm really not a fan of the humidity here, or the lack of mountains (neither is Michael), but my hair is really soft, really red, and very... fuzzy.
I'll get some pictures up soon of the place and area. It's really pretty here... but I do miss my mountains...
