The Move

As you probably know I recently took a job up in the Twin Cities and made the big move a few days ago. I am going to give this blogging thing a try to keep family, friends, and Rob updated on events of my daily life. Who knows if I will actually go through with this, or if I just think it's a good idea because I don't have much going on at the time!

I will be working in downtown Minneapolis but do not start until next Friday, so in the meantime I am playing Susie Homemaker and trying to make Rob and I's first place a home. I have been waiting for the day to have our own place for a long time now, so I must say it feels pretty amazing. I have enjoyed all of my previous roomies throughout my many years of college but it is great to finally have a job and a place to call my own. It is missing someone very important though, but he will be home on leave next month and I can't wait to show him our first place!! Hopefully he likes it as much as I do!

I made the move last Friday. My dad and Michelle were so kind to haul a big trailer up and help me unload and unpack. I wouldn't have been able to do it without them, that's for sure. We took a trip to Ikea to buy a TV stand for the large TV that got delivered today (more on that another time), coffee table, and side table. It is pretty awesome being so close to Ikea, I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing! That basically took up our whole day Saturday after everything was assembled, and the rents left Sunday morning. It felt a little strange to be all alone in a big city where I know very few people, but luckily I had internet and got show Rob around our place via Skype. Last night I went to dinner with a friend from grad school who will be interning up here in March. It was good to see her and is nice knowing someone else in the area!

Today the TV was delivered and I got it all set up on my own which was quite an accomplishment. Everything is unpacked and in its place for the most part, but I still need to hang pictures and do some decorating. It is looking just a little bare! Well I think I will call it good for the first post on this blog thing! Pictures will be be posted soon!
