So... we've been back for about a week now. Boston was awesome. I old myself that I'd post pictures as soon as we got home, but as always, life gets in the way. We are currently house sitting for my aunt and uncle while they and their kids spend a week in Hawaii (I'd rather be in their shoes, but considering that we just had a great trip back east, I can't complain). We've decided that house sitting is what we do on my mom's side of the family. We did for a different aunt and uncle a few months ago while they were in Europe, and next month my parents are going to Florida for a week to visit Ben, Andrea and Max, so we'll help Fred and Sarah gaurd the house then, too. And actually, house sitting is quite nice, depending on the situation. There are many benefits...
1-There is no quarter slot for the washing machine and dryer-it's free!
2-One word: dishwasher!
3-Daily access to a piano.
4-Entertainment systems (particularly the wii... more Star Wars Legos!)
5-Since my mission I haven't been a huge dog person (if you wonder why... go see the dogs that are walking down the street in Peru). However, spending time a week at a time with dogs has helped me realize that they aren't so bad. In fact, I think I really like them. We've been having a really fun time with Punchy this week. Petey and Lizzy were both entertaining as well. Lizzie could chase a ball (or snowball) for hours (trust us...it was great entertainment). We like Lizzie and Petey. At the moment we are in no position to get a dog (if we did decide we wanted one), but it's fun to get our fill in a week at a time.
6-Lot's of space to spread out and work on my sewing.
7-Lot's of space in general.
8-Sinks and ovens that work.
9-Desk space to sit and do homework (Danny appreciates that more than I do)
Ok, I could go on, but I'll stop. It makes it seem like a very nice idea to own a house someday.
