This week was “Moving Week.” I packed up all my belongings in two suitcases and my mother’s CR-V and moved from my house in Chicago to my new apartment in Washington, D.C. Needless to say, it has been a rather crazy and stressful week. I’d say I’m about 85% of the way settled in at my new digs (thanks to all of my family and friends who helped me in the move-in process!); I still have a few boxes to unpack but I am set with all my furniture and belongings.
It’s been good to be back in D.C. The last time I was here was over a year ago, and I’ve forgotten just how much I loved being in the nation’s capital. It’s also been nice to see some of my friends again. Not everyone is in town yet, but I expect the rest of this month to be filled with many a reunion.
Speaking of reunions, I’m also seeing family and friends in the Pennsylvania/Delaware area this weekend. It’s the time of year where my family makes our annual trip to see my grandpa and aunts and uncles. It’s always good to go and see them every summer. It reminds me of when I was a little kid living in Delaware and we’d go up to Pennsylvania to see relatives once a month. It’s funny to think how those visits were over ten years ago… how time flies!
