First 24-hours

I arrived in Washington yesterday morning. The sun was out and the temperature was perfect - some may say I brought the sunshine from CA. Arrived at my new house and absolutely love it! Erin did an amazing job of finding a comfy place for us. 2 bedroom, one bath townhouse with a backyard, garage, washer and dryer, dishwasher! I love the laminate floors throughout and that my bedroom has a window and full closet (yet my clothes still barely fit). I also loved being able to sleep in my bed for the first time in a month - so much so that I slept for 14 hours.

It still feels surreal, but I think it will really sink in that I live here when I finally get a job and then when school starts in September. It's absolutely wonderful having family here and that Ryan's friends are so welcoming. Knowing people already will make the adjustment much easier for me.

Went on a 3.5 mile walk today with Penny, Ryan, Dusty (Ryan's dog) and Ryan's friend Maggie. Beautiful walk through a park and along a golf course that overlooked the water. The weather is perfect so I'm going to enjoy it as much as possible while it's here. Hopefully we will have the same great weather Saturday for our housewarming BBQ.

Now to continue unpacking...


P.S. Pictures of the house will be posted soon.
