hey hey hey! I promised a few of you that I would get a blog set up when I got to the east coast and I completely forgot that plan. So here I am finally doing it. I figure this way I can send the link to everyone and you can read and comment as you see fit. I'll still send out personal emails once in a while though...and send them to me too. It makes me happy to see people are thinking of me!!
As of yesterday, I've been on the east coast for four weeks! A month tomorrow. YIPPIE!! I am surviving nicely. I was hired on with a legal assistant temp agency a couple of weeks ago and finally today something came through for me. It's only for 4-7 hours on this upcoming Friday but they are paying me four bucks more an hour than I made at my last job so it will be a nice lil paycheck to get me started!
Other than looking for a job, I have been spending time at Draw the Line gigs. They have all been local up until this last weekend when I rode down to Reading, PA with the band for a tribute band festival on Friday night. Good times. Exhausting times. We got back to the hotel around 2 or something...maybe later and we were up again to hit the road at 9:30. Drove back to Rhode Island where they had a gig in Cranston. Got home from that around 2:30 and was up at 7:30 to take a trip to Washington D.C. Justin's friend and bandmate Steve drove down with us and we dropped him off at his fiance's house before heading into D.C.
Justin has a friend from HS who lives in Arlington. We stayed with him and did some sightseeing Monday all day and Tuesday in the morning. We probably walked about 5 miles on Monday and my body was HATING me for it! Plus I had a cold. But the weather in D.C. was amazing and I got some great pictures. I posted around 60 of them on facebook so I will link that at the end. I have way more though. All together, Justin and I took well over 500 pictures.
Not much else to report around here. One thing I have learned living out here is that I cannot plan ahead for anything. A lot of what I am doing is dependent upon Justin's schedule. So don't be offended if I don't have answers for the time being!!
The east coast is treating me well. I do miss everyone a LOT and I know I am missing out on great times but I am glad I made this decision. It was about time I did something instead of thought about it until I decided it was too hard.
Well, I am off to the grocery store to restock our fridge. Unfortunately while we were home for six hours Sun morning before leaving for DC We left the fridge open a tad..so I need to replace some things in it!! Then its WATCHING THE CUBS GAME!!!
GOOOO CUBBIES!
Love you and miss you all!

I miss you Donna!! I hope you're having a good time out there, but I can't wait till you come back here for the holidays or something. :)
This is Mom, I miss you hon, but I am glad for you. I am glad you are satisfied with your decision. Sometimes you just have to make the leap. Be sure to check out the family tree. Love you!
no pics of the Wall?
I am debating wether to go to sleep early or stay up to watch the Cubs. I think I will stay up just so that I can add a comment after they win their 1st game.
