Hello Friends!

I must apologize for my absence over the past two weeks. I left Phoenix last Thursday morning and I didn’t have my personal internet set up until… this Friday. However, things are great now because my internet is stable! Haha. And now, I’m sitting on my couch in my underwear, updating! Don’t hate!

(I didn’t take the picture… oh, well)

The move went really well. My mom and I had a good time driving through desolate Nevada and Idaho is such a beautiful state. We drove through this amazingly gorgeous area called the Salmon River and quite honestly, it was so breathtaking. I almost jumped out of my car to run into to the woods. But, it was very nice just driving along, listening to Death Cab for Cutie. My mom and I stopped at this little fruit stand and bought the most delicious cherries I have ever eaten.

We got to campus on Friday night (earlier than anticipated) and unpacked my car. We spent Saturday exploring Moscow (pronounced Mos-CO, not Mos-COW) and we drove over to Pullman. My building is approximately two miles away from the Washington border which is pretty cool. The University of Idaho and Washington State University are only eight miles apart, which means I have two college towns to pick from. And, I can like being all like “So, I went to Washington this weekend”. And, I ran across the state line yesterday! I’ve never run across a state line before!

I drove my mom to Spokane on Sunday which is a pretty short drive. I wish I would have stayed behind and explored the city a bit, but oh well. It’s not like I’m not going to have time here or anything.

The first week of work went really well. I’m feeling confident and I know that I can do a good job. Of course, I’m still worried about my first week on call, the first week that students are here, the first incident, etc. but, I really think I can do it and that confidence is super important to me. Oh yeah, and dressing semi-professionally is fun! I think I overdress a bit (as compared to my Co), but whatever. I LOOK CUTE, okay?

So, yes. That is my life update. SHOUT OUT TO THE BIRTHDAY PEOPLE! Jen and Mia, I need your summer address so I can send you goodies for Idaho. Huckleberry jam might be included, just so you know.

Bianca, hook a sister up! I love reading your entries and I think you looked especially cute in your Housekeeping uniform!

And finally, Jen, in your last entry you hit the nail on the head. I would be Paula Deen. I wish I had the Food  Network here.

OH! P.S- MIKE the British coach staying with my family totally loves me! We went out to the Library on Mill on Tuesday before I left with another coach (Kevin) and we had an amazing time. Pretty much Mike and I just talked while we watched Kevin get really drunk but it was super fun! And guess what… he’s a tall, blonde haired, blue eyed white guy! HOW WEIRD!

Also, Chris Walker and I got into a big fight (I think I view it as a fight and he is all like, whatever) and I stood up for myself. HOOORAY!

Okay, I’m going to go take a shower or watch America’s Best Dance Crew.

I love you all! TAKE CARE!
