So I am officially a Memphian (yes, this is what we are called according to FM 100) It has been quite an adventure since I have been here, with moving in... finding furniture... and getting lost everywhere I go... but I had a lot of help (thanks, Mom!) and support (thanks, all my parents!) and really do like it here (surprise!) It definitely is way different than anywhere I have ever lived... for example... the weather! It is hot as hades here! I thought NC was hot and humid, but I had never been to southern Tennessee. It's a good thing I live in an apartment complex with 2 (count them, ONE, TWO) pools! Also, its a good thing that I live in a place with air conditioning (boo ya, Rexburg) So here are a few pictures of my new apartment! Obviously it's a masterpiece in the making so not much to show, except my amazing new furniture!
On a side note, I finally got my cable and internet hooked up (obviously) and before I could even enjoy Sportscenter and Jon and Kate plus 8, my TV decided to bring back the subtitles that won't go away.... yet again... When my cable guy was flipping through the channels to make sure everything was AOK, he noticed them and when I told him they show up randomly and won't go away until I don't know - my temperamental TV wants them to go away - he laughed at me and proceeded to make fun of it. So my task for this morning? Wal-Mart to pick up a new remote that will let me actually control my TV and ridicule from others. :)
I have also begun my grown-up-real-job at the Fed and am (so far) loving it! My first week I went to St. Louis for training and was able to go to 2 Cards games with my new coworkers/friends Meredith and Michael (aka Pope)...
Since then I've been back in Memphis getting settled into office life... until the end of July anyways when my first exam will be!.... and I'm still trying to get used to this Tennessee heat (although I think that is virtually impossible) and loving every minute of meeting new people, learning how to navigate without my trusted tomtom, and really just falling comfortably into a brand new beginning...
