Wow. *boggles*
It's been about a million years since I've written, hasn't it?
I'm all nicely settled in Virginia now, and after about a month of training, I'm finally ready to actually start my actual job. That's oh-so-exciting. We had a practice day on Thursday (in costume and everything!) and it really was the greatest thing ever. I had my picture taken about a million times and I got to smile and Patrick Henry referred to me as "his lovely lady" and it was just excellent. I'm so in love with my job. We get to wear 18th century costumes, talk about history, meet interesting people from all over the place, schmooze with the tradespeople, get our picture taken...it's just great. Such a change from my last job! My co-workers are really great too. (Although honestly, I hope none of them are reading, as I think they'd be disturbed by my Lord Dunmore icon. What can I say, Lord Dunmore's just incredibly awesome.)
When I talk to people from the past, everyone always says the same thing: that I sound so happy. It's funny, but it's true -- at the moment, I'm very happy here, and that's a wonderful thing. Almost unbelievable.
I promise not to wait months before the next time I update. Promise!
