My Kitchen is TINY!!

It's not even big enough for me and my roommate to be in there at the same time. Seriously, it's that small:

The apartment itself isn't so bad. It's a pretty decent size:

Isn't my couch awesome??? I love it :).

Elko is.... different. Honestly, it's not as small as I had previously thought, even after having lived here last summer. It is small, don't get me wrong, but it could be much worse. I was in the DMV last week and every person that walked in after I got there knew someone already there. I felt very out of the loop. Hopefully I will attain local status soon enough and know people wherever I go.

The job is great. I really love it. It's interesting and I'm learning so much. I spend quite a bit of time at my desk right now, but this is because I'm learning the computer programs and systems. Once that's over, hopefully I'll be out in the field more. The only thing I don't like is getting up at 4:30 every day. It is HARD! I know I've already said this, but it is!! I've never seen so many sunrises in my life, haha. This one was particularly pretty:

I've been home a lot. Twice in the month I've been out here. It's been hard for me to adjust so I go back to the people I know. Like these ones:

My roommate and I also went back one weekend because she wanted to do some shopping. Yes, she wanted to go to a big city to shop, cause small towns just don't cut it. Speaking of my roommate, I love her. I will be so sad when she leaves at the end of the summer :(

Also, look what I made this week:

Blueberry and strawberry pavlova. Yummm!!!!
