Boy will we be glad to go back to Utah and have a consistent internet
connection at home! Until then, Wayne found his way to the downtown library, which has free internet but expensive parking. We looked up places with free internet and cheap parking, so he might be able to try those out this week when he needs to research installation project ideas. But he's also started another huge painting, so we'll see how much mischief he has time for.
I'm wrapping up projects at work this week as well. I think I should be able to leave in a convenient place, where the project is mostly functional, and they should have time to train someone to take over development where I left off. My main goal is to not leave too many unfinished thoughts behind in the code, as it were. Or at least to write lots of comments and make a list of things that need attention. :) Now if I could just fix the mysterious files-that-only-sometimes-delete-when-the-program-tells-them-to problem.... In case you were wondering, bugs in code are much easier to fix when they are at least consistent.
We had a fun week...we went to a Caribbean steel drum concert in a park Friday night. We saw some families in the ward there, and it was fun that the nursery kids recognized us and stuck out their tongues at us. (We stuck ours out at them first, so it's all fair.) It was a fun concert, and free too. Yay. :)
Saturday we drove through Microsoft campus. It really is huge. Bigger than BYU campus. True story. I'm glad I don't have to work there! We also went to another art museum Thursday, and played with a fun sound exhibit...very Dr. Seuss-esque, and you got to make your own music with controls they had set up. Fun!
Today was our last day in Nursery here. We'll miss the kids, especially the cute ones. Particularly, the cute ones who run up and give us hugs when they see us. :) I think Nursery has been much more
peaceful since they divided the kids into a junior/senior nursery. Before the split, most of the nursery workers just helped hold the youngest, newest ones because they were the ones crying and getting "run over" and stuff, but with the split the incident of little kids crying went down, and we got to know the older kids better. The older kids don't often "need" attention like the younger ones, but they sure do *like* attention.
We did some other stuff this week...reading, going to parks, running...and this week we'll get to pack up the car and head back to Utah. (Only one more year of school!!!) We might not be able to write next week, as things will be in flux. We leave here Friday evening and will head to Oregon for one more visit with our good friends Jon and Faith, then we'll head to Idaho to visit our good friend Christy, and finally we'll rent a truck to move our stuff out of storage. School starts on the 29th, so I hope we're ready....
Have a good week (or two),
Becca and Wayne
