Well, we have been here three weeks now, and we are finally starting to adjust the way of life here. It's still America, but there are so many things here that are nothing like our home in Utah. The people are different, the lingo is different, so many things.
Speed is everything here. Who can get there the fastest (You all drive slow compared the the drivers out here), check out at the store, or even just get their Dunkin Donut and coffee (which is on almost every corner).
Accents really aren't that big, not that we have noticed, but they do talk a little different. It's not a honk, it's a beep, it's not pop (that is a sucker), it's soda.
We experienced "Solar Glare" for the first time. Utahans really take advantage of the mountains. By the time you can see the sun over them, it's almost above you. But here, the second it comes up it is hitting you in the eyes, so sunglasses don't even put a dent in the streams of light coming in through your windows.
I had an interview on Wednesday, she said that it will be about two weeks before I hear back, but my fingers are crossed. It is for a company called Amaridose, they make medical supplies and some IV drugs.
Nick has an interview this week with Target for a management position, we are hoping that being in a new store, not having any prejudice will give him a better chance to show off his talents and prove that he is the perfect person for the job.
We miss our families dearly, our parents, grandparents, brothers and my puppy dogs, along with all of our friends. It's hard being away from people that you were around for so long and so often. We can't wait to see you all again!
