Quick Update!

Lots to share tonight!

Started my new job in Natchez, Mississippi. Nice people at work. Found an apartment today! Yay! Close to work in a nice neighborhood. Garage Apartment with built in pets! (Landlord has 2 dogs and 3 cats!). Hoping to move in this weekend! Hopefully I will be able to share the adventures I've had finding an apartment here. I have a couple of tales to tell!

Happy Birthday to my Dad! He turned 76 yesterday! He's doing great after his knee replacement. He still works full time at the DA's office. I'm looking forward to seeing him at Luc's birthday next weekend in DC. And I'm even MORE looking forward to visiting HOME the following weekend!

Well wishes to my friend and wellness mentor/coach Karen. She had a kidney removed today and is doing great! She actually called me this afternoon. Wishing you a speedy recovery my friend! I'll push you in the CCC if necessary, hehe.

Congratulations to my cousin Michael on the birth of his 3rd son, Brody. And of course congratulations to Nana and Aunt Heather. Very much looking forward to visiting you all on the coast while I'm here in Natchez.

Special thanks to my friend Ann for riding out here with me from Florida. Ann has become my official relocation traveling partner. And thanks to Fred for letting me steal his wife for our adventures!

Ann and I stopped at the most fabulous scrapbook store in the universe -- Scrappersaurus, in Mandeville and had lunch with our great friends/owner Dee and Emery. We missed Felix who was dealing a bee issue! Next time Felix! I'm sooo looking forward to cropping with my old Scrappersaurus friends again!

My 1st college roommate, Linda, found me on the internet and wrote to me. How exciting is that?!? She invited me to join her facebook group for our Sorority, Chi Omega, Mu Theta Chapter. And I totally caved and joined facebook. I'm excited to be in touch with old friends again! And with family spread out all over the country as well. Thanks Linda!

I have to get up early tomorrow to go do ADLs with my new lady, so I'll say goodnight here. Hope everyone has a fab weekend!

Chris, SOOOOOO thrilled that you and Ann got the chance to visit us on your way up to Natchez!!! I really needed a boost that day, and your visit helped turn what would otherwise have been a frown, upside-down. It is so good to have you "home" again! Yes, I'm planning on monopolizing ALL your free time!!! (Well, I could HOPE, couldn't I?!)

Enjoy your visit back to DC with your family, and tell your dad I said "Happy Birthday"!

Keep up the great work on preparing for the CCC. I wish I could go with you. Know that I'll be cheering for you on the sidelines, though!
