Well, we are here. It feels so strange; I'm from this country but it feels quite foreign. In the customs line I was coaching myself on how to speak like an American: untwist my vowels, flatten and straighten my words, find all the Rs and Ts. I don't really know what to do with myself just yet.

But, we have only just arrived! It is sunny and coldish here in LA (basically, perfect weather) and I had a dreamboat baby for the flight. She was so good...especially since she decided to CUT A TOOTH. Not even kidding! It's just a little speck in her mouth but hey, it's through!

Right now I am counting down the hours until I get to see my best friend and those hours grow shorter and shorter. I'm unbelievably excited. I have been looking forward to this part for MONTHS.

So: good flight, good baby, new tooth (!), and we are tired but that's why they invented under-eye concealer! To Idaho we go!
