Fog, Flowers and Farewells... well almost.

Well my friends, it is officially two weeks from now that Matt is out of the Marines. It feels like we've been waiting on it forever but now that it's almost here I'm not sure we're ready to leave our lives here yet. It's sad, we're getting close enough that we have to plan out our time here. What day we're packing up, when we can do our last session in the temple down here, when we can have dinner with our friends for the last time... its depressing. We're trying to be home for Sierra's mom's birthday, so we'll see how that goes. Hopefully we make it in time. We will be staying with Matt's parents for a while so we're really grateful they're willing to share their space with us for a while until we've got a place of our own. Matt is finally home from his field op (hooray!!) and he brought some chilly weather with him so that made me double-happy. -doubly happy? Not sure that's grammatically correct but anywho, the first night he came home it was cool enough to open the windows in the evenings and it has been that way ever since, so that makes me so glad. The only bad thing about fall here is the fog. It's hard to see when you're driving to work in the mornings, but I'll gladly take a slower speed limit instead of a higher temperature. And of course, a posting would not be complete without a picture of Rufus. I bought some local flowers and arranged them last week, and Rufus couldn't keep his paws out of them. Apparently our cat enjoys the taste of sunflowers and eventually knocked them off the table. But they were pretty while they lasted. Well, that's all for now folks. Enjoy the season!!

My loverly summer flowers + my ensigns. haha
