Glorious day of nothings
I don't have to do anything today.
However, I am still on my quest to reinvigorate my lj account. I won't get too into the missing years (April 2009-December 2012) but here's a quick re-cap:
April 2009- got the coveted social work job in Davis, worked there for a year.
March 2010- accepted to grad school in Boston, prepared to leave California
April 2010- left California via road trip with man friend and hermano. Highlights from road trip include rediscovering weird al, driving through a herd of deer unscathed, visiting Niagara falls, and not leaving hermano in Ohio.
May 2010- began working at Trader Joe's in Tyngsboro via recommendation of the lovely and talented Nina.
August 2010- moved into a house in Nashua with kevin, becky, man friend, and some cats. Went to Astoria, Oregon (aka Goonies' town) for my cousin's fabulous beach wedding.
September 2010- grad school. Met Cailin in copyediting class my first week & became insta-buddies.
October 2010- Met Amada at Cailin's Halloween party, another insta-buddy...
February 2011- finally got Amada and Kevin to meet at a house party in Nashua. Got to witness love at first sight, which was pretty rad
May 2011- got engaged down by the river
August 2011- moved to Merrimack during a hurricane. Kev and Amada moved to Melrose. Becky kept the nashua house in the roommate divorce.
October 2011- Visited LeeAnne in New Mexico for Balloon Fiesta
December 2011- began job search quest
May 2012- Mastered the Arts!
June 2012- began news internship with NHPR. Highlights include interviewing state reps, senators, and the president of Smuttynose.
July 2012- TJ's moves to Nashua. Met with enthusiastic mob of surly New Hampshirites on opening day.
August 2012- Manfriend and I moved to a haunted Victorian house on Main street (ghosts may actually be excitable attic squirrels)
October 2012- married man friend of 7 years at epic fiesta in New Hampshire. Traveled to Costa Rica to celebrate. Saw many monkeys and iguanas
November 2012- experienced massive relief on election night. my cat became suddenly and inexplicably fat.
December 2012- Visited Seattle family with Joe. Saw some epic fish tossing and winter storms. Manfriend begins formation of his stone masonry company along with his partner. (They're still on the look out for company names since 'Stone Garden' is taken. I recommended 'Rock Candy' but they're not too keen on it. Ideas?)
------
I'm sure I left out a bunch of important stuff, but there's at least the trail guide of where we've been wandering. Now that school and wedding planning is over, I'm mainly occupied by my job search. I'm still with TJ's--a good job by any standard--but I'm stoked to get a chance to try something new. I've had 8 big interviews since graduating. I'm currently awaiting a response from my latest.
