Last time I wrote, I hadn’t graduated yet. Since then I have turned 23, received my Master of Accountancy degree, moved out of my condo in Auburn where I’ve lived for four years, moved to a new city and state and finally begun my very first big girl job. Wow—what a run-on sentence! But that only begins to capture the whirlwind that is my life lately! :)
Just got my copy of the creed. We get the real diploma after the ceremony.
The night of graduation, most of my things were loaded onto the truck. We thankfully had help—two of my wonderful next door neighbors helped when we found ourselves in a bind. They worked as hard as possible and wouldn’t even take a dime. I certainly would not have asked them if I didn’t intend to pay them.
Tuesday morning we finished packing my last few things and started the long drive north. I was alone in Mom’s car and headed directly to Nashville while Mom, Dad and Emma had to stop in Florence first to pick up some furniture. I got here, signed my lease and started unloading the car around five. Everyone else arrived around six and it took until 10:30 to finish unloading the truck. That was a day!
Wednesday Daddy had to leave and Mom and I had lots of boxes to unpack. Honestly, Mom did most of the work and I will be forever grateful to her for making this place comfortable and as much like home as possible.
Dad came back late on Friday. Things were pretty much done here except for hanging curtains and pictures on the walls. We only hang things with the Engineer’s help! :) Mom and Dad left Sunday afternoon and Emma and I were on our own for the first time in our new state. I went to Church on Sunday (It was so huge, btw) and did a little shopping before the cable man came to hook up my cable and internet.
Monday was the big day—my first day of work! Of course, it was also the first day of school in Davidson County, so traffic was a nightmare. It took an hour and fifteen minutes to go fifteen miles. Coming home was slightly better at about an hour. Mom was here when I got back to pick up Emma and do a few more things. We had dinner and then I went to bed. Mom and Emma left Tuesday sometime after I had to leave for work. The drive has gotten a little better—especially since I’m leaving before 7 now. I get to work really early compared to everyone else, but I get things done! I’ve gone to sleep between 8:30 and 9 every night and I have to finish this so I can get ready for bed! I can’t function at 5:30AM without lots of sleep!
Well, I think that just about sums up what’s been going on lately. I hope to take some pictures of my apartment soon, but I’ll have to be here sometime when the light is still decent first! :)
