daylight

So the sun came out today for the first time in weeks, it seems. Being quite a bit closer to the Arctic Circle than ever before, I’ve never experienced such short days. So even though I wasn’t feeling spectacular today, I simply had to venture outside to enjoy a rare glimpse of blue sky. It was a beautiful day and I really wanted to get some photos of the neighborhood, so I discreetly carried my camera around and snapped some photos. All that to say that the following are pictures of my hood. Enjoy.

Katie and I were talking today about our lives here. We think that the lack of daylight is affecting us. We’re both just kind of dragging and apathetic lately. If you read this, I’m sure we wouldn’t mind some prayer for that. We’re both looking forward to traveling in January and getting out of this joint for a little while. And on another note, It’s taken me about three months now but I think I’m really settling into life here. I mentioned to a friend the other day that when someone commented that they couldn’t understand what my life must be like here my first reaction was to think, “Oh, its normal!” Anyway, it’s strange how quickly one can adapt. I think I need to remember this when I go home in January. Sometimes, I think, it’s more difficult for me to adjust to life in the South than to adjust to life in foreign countries.
