The Andersons are ahead of us!?!?!?!

Since Jeff, Emily, and Marin flew west to get to Japan and since it is nine hours earlier in their day than it is in hours I made the assumption that they were behind us. What a surprise to read (at 2:00 pm MST, on Sunday) Emily's post about their experience at church! Either their new ward meets shortly after mid-night or they're actually fifteen hours ahead of us rather than nine hours behind us. Sure enough. I checked my iPhone and Jeff, Emily, and Marin (and a few million Japanese) are getting out of bed to take on Monday while I'm about to settle into bed for a Sunday afternoon nap. I'm not sure how I feel about this but I do like the thought that they are a whole day closer to coming back to the states. I miss those guys.
