2 Month Anniversary

I just realized that I moved into my place 2 months ago today! YEAH! Have I finished setting things up? No but I'm working on it. I still have to hang curtains (I have blinds so I haven't felt the need to hang curtains yet) and I need to do something about office/dining room. I need some sort of storage unit (buffet/filing cabinet) but I just can't make up my mind on what I want. It will get done...I have gotten a lot accomplished in 2 months so I'm okay with a few outstanding items.

Heading back to Albany this weekend to see some friends and go to a concert. Its truly the one thing I don't like about being here...missing people so much :( But I really think I've done a great job establishing myself thus far!!! SO BIG!

Update

Yeah, so I've been silent for a really long time...the move has kind of taken a lot of my time and energy but I'm loving the new job and living in this area!

So last night I had dinner with Fridge and the kids, which is always amazing and even more so when we have Richardson's for dessert (www.richardsonsicecream.com). When we got home her son Joseph wanted to show me how he has been practicing riding his bike without his training wheels. He road on the grass a couple of times and then I brought him out on the street. He ended up riding by himself for a little bit and was so proud of himself. A week ago, he was still riding with training wheels and scared to try without them. It was so awesome to see him gain the confidence and just go for it!

Today was my first straight run in my training for a 5k in October. I did two miles, which took me about 23 minutes, and it felt pretty good. My cousin Jill told me she was training for a 5k so I decided to train for one too and then got my cousin Randi on board. Randi and I are planning on running the Celebrate Pink 5k in October (www.celebratepinkevents.org/5k) and Jill even mentioned she would consider coming up from Florida for it. Breast cancer has affected the 3 of us and what better way to show support and love for those who have battled this disease than running with a survivor...now Randi really needs to get her training in gear :)
