I am officially a resident of Connecticut now! Wow... everything is so different here! There are no mountains, just hills...WITHOUT SNOW YAY!... trees EVERYWHERE, and I don't think there is such thing as a small house in this entire state!
I landed in Hartford, CT at 11:55 am Eastern time, which is two hours different from Utah, and met Al. He is the father, and such a fun guy to be around. I haven't figured out how old they are, but he looks like he is 32 at most! We drove home to Watertown, CT (halfway between Hartford and Danbury), and I finally met Nancy. She is such a sweet and loving mother. She reminds me a lot of my own mother, which makes me feel even more at home! There are three kids. Jordyn, who is almost 5, Mason, who is 3.5, and Austin, who is 9 weeks old (and the best baby I have ever seen. he doesn't cry at all!). They are all so much fun, and I love them already! I can already tell that I am going to be having the time of my life with them!
Their house is BIG! I wish I could post photos, but I left my USB cord that connects my camera to the computer at home... :( bummer. So everyone will have to wait! :) We went to dinner tonight at this GREAT Japanese restaraunt, and I tried many new things! It is called Hitachi, and they make your food on a grill right in front of you! Don't worry, it was only $30 a plate...plus the extra sushi and extra appetizers that we ordered.... HOLY COW it was good, though! I tried scallops, lobster tail, california rolls, tuna sushi, and tempura, and the only thing I disliked was the tuna sushi. I was pretty surprised, because I am a picky eater...
So far I am loving life, and am so excited. I did get pretty nervous for awhile, but everything has turned out better than I could have hoped for! I will keep you updated. Tomorrow, they are going to try and show me around town.... We will see how that goes! :)
