Before I left for VA it was getting pretty lonely here because I didn't know anybody and Nate is pretty busy studying. But yesterday was an improvement. We liked the church we went to in the morning. Not sure if it will be the one, but definitely a positive since I had started to think the kind of church we were looking for didn't exist out here. In the afternoon I painted some cardboard boxes to look like baskets and started getting a bit more stuff organized. Our apartment complex had a bbq so I showed my face there (didn't really talk to anyone except the host) and then I went to a Bible study at a girls' house. There were 5 of us total and they seemed like really nice, quality people that I might get to be good friends with. So I was really excited about that and then after that I decided I am going to pursue an xc assistant coaching spot at a high school around here. It could be too late for it already, we'll see if they still want me, but it would be a lot of fun I think and would get me involved in things.
So things in the desert aren't looking so bleak anymore :)

Lynchburg, VA
Well this week I returned from a business trip to Lynchburg, VA. I went to help install a seismic shake table at Areva which is a huge power company. They will use it to test their nuclear equipment. This table is a huge undertaking for my company. Torquing bolts and making hoses is a new experience for me, but it really shows you what goes into the construction of a project and seeing your designs built is always exciting. So Lynchburg is in the South, and everyone speaks in the Southern drawl and calls you "honey" or "love-bug". Running was wonderful in the cooler, more humid air and the tree-covered hills. I stayed in a little hotel apartment and was able to cook for myself and grill even, so I didn't have to eat fast food every day which was great.
