A punch to the gut..

I titled this such because that's what I feel like right now. We've been gone from SLC for 8 day's today, and it feels like it's been weeks. I miss it more than I realized I would. Our house is bare, and doesn't have the homey feel that our house in Salt Lake had. My office is very bare and none of my books can go on the shelf until they come in the mail. There's a huge stain in the middle of my office floor which is not going to be fixed any time soon, and Haines of course is beautiful. We live in the most beautiful place I think I've ever seen. The mountains com roaring out of the ocean and are capped with peaceful snow which you can see blowing around on blustery day's. Oh my gosh the wind, the north wind is what people call it around here but when it got going on Tuesday it was painful to walk in, it tears through your clothes, and makes your eyes water. Gabe saw a bald eagle out of our window yesterday, Olive didn't see it. Right now I'm sitting in my bare office- which isn't so bare anymore since I got Kelly's husband to put of some shelves and move my desk to a better spot. Kelly is one of the other therapists here, she's from Florida and moved here 3 months ago. She's got a strong southern accent, and is such a relief for me since she is new too, and equally as freaked out as I am. Everyone is very nice here and welcoming. My boss brought us a bunch of crab legs and smoked salmon which we ate last night for dinner- it was amazing, her husband is a fisherman so I'm really lucky. It's been stressful because we have barely a bar of cell phone service at our house, it works but people cut out fairly often. We've been trying to set up Internet yesterday evening and today but it's been difficult because of the phone service. We ordered our land line phone yesterday from amazon, tonight I will bring the phone from my office home to see if we can call tech support to get the Internet set up. All I want is one of the commodities of life, just to feel a little connected would be great. Or like if a bear came through my front door if I did get to the phone at least it would work. I miss home pretty bad today,and I think Gabe does too. Although I'm excited for the weekend as I will get to enjoy the festivities of the women's bazaar, and the remaining Bald Eagles who are up the road still. I miss you friends and family, and wonderful dessert. I'm sure this blog entry shows how overwhelmed I am since I'm everywhere at once. Just need a weekend- hopefully we get internet tonight:)
