It's an Adventure!

Well I figure it's time for my first post! A little background on this blog....

For those of you who didn't know, I am moving to Connecticut in August. I am super excited!! My friend, Rachon, was accepted to YALE (we are very proud), and her husband, Erik, was accepted to LAMDA (an acting school in London). He will be there for approximately 7 months. I couldn't very well let Rachon go to New Haven all by herself now could I?! So I volunteered to go with her. (I know, I am too kind.)

Rachon and I flew back to the east coast at the end of June. It was a great trip. It gave Rachon a chance to see her school, me a chance to go to an interview, and time for us to look for an apartment.

The school was wonderful! YALE Divinity school is all in one building which will be nice. No truckin' around the whole campus! Rachon was quick to note the pianos placed around the building for student use. I would say the best part was the library. They have a library like Belle's in Beauty and the Beast!
It's gorgeous.

My interview was so-so. I didn't get the best vibe from it. Still it was good to sit down with them. I don't currently have a job lined up out there, but I do have a couple leads. Hopefully one of them will work out.

Our search for apartments turned out to be very interesting. We saw quite a variety of places. After visiting about 7 different places, we finally picked an apartment. It is the second floor of a three family house. It's in a great neighborhood and very cute! We were very happy with our find!!!

Currently we are getting ready for the actual move. We are leaving 8-7-08. Less than 2 weeks away right now! I have been very excited about this trip but am starting to get a little nervous. But as many have told me, "This in an adventure." And I believe that I am ready for an adventure.

I will be using this blog for our journey out east. So if you wish to follow my trip, feel free to stop in and read all about it!

Thank you to all who have been so supportive about this whole thing!
Much love
