No Longer a Tallahassee Resident

I'm writing this from a hotel in Fredericksburg, VA‎. Starting tomorrow, we will be full time residents of the greater Washington, DC area! Our time in Tallahassee – and Florida – has come to an end.

We moved out of our apartment in Tallahassee yesterday. It took us nearly 12 straight hours of working, cleaning and packing, but we did it! I don't have the words to describe how gross we felt at the end of the day, but we decided that we would be better off getting on down the road. We made it as far as Jacksonville, found a hotel near the airport, and collapsed.

Onward and Upward

In less than two weeks, I will be married! More to come on that subject, certainly — and plenty of pictures from the wedding and our honeymoon cruise.

While the wedding is a happy occasion, following the wedding comes some bittersweet news. After over ten years in Tallahassee — minus 9 months in Bloomington, Indiana — and three years working at the FSU College of Social Sciences and Public Policy, my wife and I will be leaving. We are moving to the DC area so that she may attend University of Maryland's graduate program in journalism.

August Update

I'm just not good at this three blog thing. I apologize for not updating this one much lately.

We are now in the month of August, so allow me to quickly hit all the marks for July:

I saw Pirates of the Carribean 2, and hated it.

My grandfather came to visit in July. It was really nice to see him, and I hope he can return again soon and/or that I can go up to Virginia to visit.

Moving Musings

My dad may have been kidding around when he said this, but it found the mark: which will ultimately give me the most stress, the application/acceptance process or moving to Indiana?
