Hi guys. I just spoke to some of you on the phone. All of you are over at Vic n Tina's and it sounds loud and busy so I am sure you're having fun!! I had requests to give some details about life lately so here I am. I know this is less personal than a direct email but this eliminates me having to type and retype the details to everyone. I hope you don't mind.
So, as some of you may know, Justin and I have been looking into moving from our Fall River apartment into something spacier. We finally found a place last night. It's in Portsmouth, RI. The house is about two blocks from the beach and in an area of Portsmouth called Island Park. The house is small (in fact I am having doubts about how we'll fit everything into the house...mostly because the place is a mess right now). One bedroom..your standard kitchen, bathroom and living room.
It has a small fenced in yard with a white picket fence and a trellis. There is a small deck built off to the side in the yard, enough for a couple chairs. The front door leads into the kitchen which is considerably larger than the one we have now. More counter space and cabinet space as well. There is room for a small dining room table as well. The house is recently remodeled so it has new carpet and he painted recently. It needs a scrubbing though. I saw three spiders in the bathroom :( :( :( The bedroom is directly off the kitchen. It has wood paneling..which reminds me of Grandpa's haha. SMALL SMALL closet so I will have to experiment with some under the bed storage for my clothing that doesn't REALLY need to be hung up. The weird part...there is a "window" in the bedroom that looks into the living room. With shelves...it's odd. We'll be putting up a curtain on it for sure. The living room is long...I THINK all of our living room furniture will fit into it...I hope.....at least the essentials will fit, I know that. The bathroom is not a bad size either.
It's really not too bad. I will feel better when I get in there and see how everything fits though. I can't picture it in my head and it is overwhelming me. We're meeting with the landlord tomorrow night to give him a deposit. We move in on the 15th.
I am glad that I can finally get my car registered here..and officially become a resident of the East Coast. But its also overwhelming to me because I still work in Boston. HOPEFULLY that will change when I get back from vacation and talk to the lady from Newport. Newport would be a fabulously close job. Living in Psmith and traveling to Boston will tack on an extra 20 minutes to my commute every morning so I don't really want to do that for long.
As far as my upcoming vacation, Justin and I are flying to Las Vegas Saturday night. I will be in Vegas until next Friday when I fly to California to hang out with his grandmother and then on Saturday Justin will fly back to San Diego from Mexico and we'll spend the next couple days in San Diego together before flying home on Monday. Then its back to the real world.
As far as Christmas....I have no idea how I am going to get home for Christmas. Plane tickets are extremely expensive. And now that I have to come up with the money for our new place PLUS pay my bills for December its becoming more of a possibility that I cannot afford it. It sucks because coming home for Christmas would be perfect. I could fly out on a Saturday morning or late Friday night and come back the 26th and only have to miss a day of work since I get Christmas Eve off. I really am not sure what to do. It's stressing me out to think about it though so I am going to just go on vacation and figure out life afterwards.
And no, I am NOT getting married in Las Vegas. When I get married you guys will know!
Hm what else?? Oh, my phone is broken. I will have a new one by the time I get back from vacation. We bought one on ebay and it will probably get here while Im gone. So that should get me through until my contract is up and I can switch to a number out here!
Alrighty..I am going to go now. Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving. Check out my flickr site(link posted in the last entry) for pictures from my day.

OK...now we know what is up. Things sound as if they are progressing in a smooth manner, that's good. Hope that you can find something closer to where you will be living as far as work is concerned. Still love you bunches.
ah a whole complete description without every other word disappearing into outspace. Even though you repeated the town 2 or 3 times, each time you said it the call broke up. So, I did not know until I read your entry where it is. I can't wait to see pictures of it. That's primo being so close to the beach. What about parking? Are the other houses close? I forgot my camera at Uncle Vic's so I can't load my pics til later. Second cousin Jo Ann is coming later today as is Uncle Pepe and Brianne and Kaylynn. Have a terrific time in Las Vegas and CA.
Love,
Mom
