Rob left last Wednesday, the 12th, to go on his religious mission to Bangalore India. His area will cover the Southern half of India and Sri Lanka. If he ever makes it to Sri Lanka he will give a special shout-out to Himanthi's family. :) He is currently in Provo, Utah doing his training and in a few weeks he will leave for India. He is so excited to get there because he wants to eat spicy food. Really spicy food. He is finding that he is a lot more confident than he ever thought he would or could be, and is really excited to be able to share what he believes with people who are eager to learn. He says he hates the food at the MTC (the training facility) with all his heart. I don't blame him. Cafeteria food is always terrible. And you know it is horrible when Rob says it is bad. He is like a goat, he would eat a tin can if he was hungry enough. haha. He likes his companions a lot and he really just can't wait to get out to India.
Meanwhile, I have moved back to Logan with Lindsay and we are in for some fun times for sure! I started my new job as a receptionist in one of the on-campus housing offices. It is probably the best job I have ever had. I can wear whatever I want, so long as I look somewhat presentable. :) I can also eat, play on the computer, do homework, read, pretty much whatever I want, so long as I help people when they come by the office. Definitely a change from my last two jobs where they worked my butt off. School starts on Monday, and I am taking 15 credits. Since I am a senior they are all upper-level classes. I really hope I will survive the semester. This will by far be the hardest one. I am really looking forward to my Criminology class. I was quite disappointed today when I could not find my Bruce Lee poster. It was awesome. But I guess I will find it eventually.
For those wondering about the name of our blog, it is obviously just our names mixed. Lindsay came up with it! It is referring to the fact that this blog will update our friends and families with information about both of us at the same time. This is the easiest way to do so, since calling, writing, emailing everyone can take a lot of time. I will try to update this everytime I get a letter from Rob, and hopefully he will send pictures so that you can all see what he is doing. If anyone wants to know how to contact him let me know, and I will tell you how. He would love to hear from everyone, but just remember that he is super busy and won't be able to respond immediately. And for those wondering, yes we are still together, and yes I am going to wait for him to finish his mission. It is going to be a while until he gets back, but we love countdowns. It seems to make things go faster.
The countdown stands at 720 days, until August 12, 2011.
However that is a very large number of days, so countdowns are also running for other events. Such as the release of the movie of my favorite book. The Vampire's Assistant comes out in 62 days. The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics begin in 174 days. The 2010 FIFA World Cup begins in 293 days. The 2010 Tour de France starts in 315 days and is the event I am looking forward to the most. (Besides, the Tour in 2011 and Rob's return.) I may be crazy, but I love counting down to events.
I hope you all enjoy this fun way to stay up to date with the things going on in our lives. Because it is so much fun for me to update this! haha.
