We're here in Maine!

We arrived in Maine about a week ago. It's lovely here, but it's been pretty hot and muggy! Two days after arriving, Nathan got on a plane to go to England for his brother's wedding. He's having a great time and gets back this Tuesday. I'm so glad he got the opportunity to go, but it's an odd experience to have your husband bring you to a pretty foreign place and then take off for a week. If it wasn't for his sister Elizabeth and her family, I'd be feeling pretty forsaken. Instead, I'm having a great time. We've gone swimming a few times, we spent some time in Bangor, and we've eaten some wicked good food. It kind of feels like I'm on a long vacation with all our belongings. Strange. Anyway, I paid our first months rent for a little apartment yesterday. We won't actually get moved in until Nathan gets back in a couple days, but I'm looking forward to getting settled. Our apartment is quirky, but cute. And it's in a great part of town... convenient to the police station, library, post office, groceries, etc. I really feel like I'm somewhere between awake and dreaming. I haven't let this all sink in. I'm holding on to the strong feelings that we had before we came that this is what we are supposed to be doing. I feel a little sad and lonely, and I'm wondering why in the world we are here, but things will settle, and we'll find out what's in store for us. And I'm choosing to be happy. It is a choice, you know. Well, I just wanted to say thanks to our friends and family. You have all be so supportive of our decision to move here. I can't even tell you how much I miss all of you that are in Utah. We love you all!
