rain rain go away

it has been raining here for what seems like a month- this is very strange -fort collins is known for having over 300 days of sunshine a year. in fact, we're supposed to have more sun than phoenix. crazy, right? but i'm going to have to see the sun again to believe it.

along with all the rain comes being stuck in the house. this is not a good thing. abigail is cutting teeth like it's her job- i saw 3 new ones almost through this week. she is also clinging to my leg like it's her job. around the clock. i have to hide upstairs when adam comes home if i want a break. maybe we're both going a little crazy from being trapped indoors. i'm dreaming of sun, parks, pools, and long walks...

on the bright side (despite the rain), i finally learned that i received a graduate teaching asisstantship for school this fall! this is good, both for the money and the experience. it will mean abigail will be at the babysitters more often than i hoped. fortunately, the babysitter is her uncle dan, and she adores him. that will help ease my guilt at least. i think it will be good for our family.

we're also looking forward to seeing adam's parents this weekend and my family next week for my sister's weding. in july we make another trip to iowa, and in august we're heading for new mexico purely for fun. and hopefully some sun...
