New Job
I am so pumped to announce I have a NEW JOB!!! I cannot explain how excited I am and how grateful I am to all my friends and family that have been so supportive throughout this long search. I am so lucky to have strong, positive-minded, and caring people to encourage and lift me up when I need it most. All the interviews, let downs, and breakdowns have all been worth it and I am excited to now officially part of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
My first official day will be April 9th, and Chase was easily coerced into going to Annapolis with me for the first day (he missed out on the last trip, plus road trips are much more fun with a friend!). We are planning to leave early Sunday, explore Annapolis (hopefully go to Ikea), and camp that night! I'll have my meeting on Monday and Chase will have plenty of time to hang out and explore on his own!
New Nest
We finally found a new house and will be moving in mid-April! The house is a great little place in North Garden, VA, about 6 miles south of Charlottesville. It's an older house, but a great space. Two bedrooms, dining room, living room, a finished attic (I hope to use part of this for an office), and a huge finished basement! We are really excited about the space (our 500 sq ft apartment is just too little for Chase's hoarding issue, ha!). We have two small porches, a wood burning fireplace, and a wood stove (Chase is pumped about his access to free wood from work and being a little more self-sufficient than relying on electricity, as much). I hope to post some pictures and also some DIY projects that we are hoping to complete at the house (nothing major, we are still renters)
Projects:
- Paint Rooms
- Till Garden
- Landscape Side Yard
- Mulch Trees
- Start Beekeeping!
- Chickens!
- Build Pallet Furniture
Depending on how things go with life, we plan on staying in this house for a couple years. It's pretty exciting to be so close to town (and Whole Foods-Chase is OBSESSED) and still have a larger yard and enough room for projects!
I'll keep everyone posted on our new adventures and "hopefully" work on figuring out how to add pictures to the post (that would require I take pictures though...sheesh).
