Hello! Sorry I have been gone for sooooo long....things have been movin' and shakin' in my life. Big news is that I have almost received 3 full paychecks and I live in an apartment in DC! I love my new place, my roomie and I get along fantastically well and I walk to and from work most days (1.4 miles each way). Once the humidity and heat fully kick in, I'll re-evaluate walking home, uphill.

I've figured out how to get involved in my neighborhood and will be heading off to my first meetings at the end of this month. My zip code is the most culturally diverse zip code in the city and my ward has the most economic diversity. My street is fairly quiet and I've only had to kill one huge bug on my floor so far - this morning. I have no clue what it was but it did not look like something I want crawling on me or my stuff. I still have loads of boxes in my room - I moved all my things out of my Philly storage locker last week and am still trying to figure out where to put/store items.

I'm traveling a lot these next few weeks. I'm off to the beach in North Carolina this weekend and at the end of the month, I'm heading out to Colorado for the weekend. In mid-June, I'm going to Italy for a week to be in my sister's wedding. It's all very exciting.

I've found a great group of friends here and am enjoying work. I've learned a lot and will try to update more frequently. Don't give up on me! Sorry it's been so long :)
