Ugh! Snow!

I am so glad the snow is melting. Don't get me wrong, I like the snow but I HATE driving in it. I wasn't able to get my car out of the driveway until Friday, and even then 337 was still a little treacherous. Our electricity went out Wednesday morning between 3 and 4 A. M. and we were without it until Thursday morning. Luckily we had a wood stove and dad had a small camp stove for coffee. We had sandwiches throughout the day and went to the Moose Lodge that night for dinner. We just needed to get out and eat a warm dinner and watch TV and visit with friends.

I am still waiting to get my start date for work, from what I know we have the contract but can’t get them to give us a date to start. I do know we are supposed to be in Pennsylvania and we’re about 1 ½ from NYC. YAY!!! I could not be more excited I plan to go visit some friends and go see the city as much as I can. I’ll keep you all posted….

I am so excited! I finally got my IPod the other day. I wonderd what life was like before IPod, I know the walkman! Ooh I just showed my age! I have been looking and loading music and podcasts onto the IPod.


More later...

Top left is the view from my condo, right is the Greenbrier river in Marlinton, WV, and the bottom left is looking off of Snowshoe Mtn.

This is what I found at the gas station before I started my trip to West Virginia! I saw it as a sign of good things to come!

What a Year!

I thought I would start blogging to have something to do while I was on the road so the family can see what I am doing and see the pictures I take without sending 1000 emails to try to keep up. (Yes, I will still send emails but this will be easier)

I spent the first half of 2008 working at CVS pharmacy as a supervisor/photo tech, which I had been doing for 9 years when I left in June. I shoved school aside and decided to see the United States while I was working for McGEOugh Land Services, my cousin Pam and her Husband Sean's company. I spent from the middle of June to the middle of October in West Virginia. What a place to start out at, It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! It also started putting things in a little more perspective of what I need and what I can do without. I had to be able in a moment’s notice pack my stuff in my car and go to the next location, as I soon found out at the beginning of October when I had to pack my stuff up at my condo at Snowshoe Mountian and move to the great Holiday Inn Express in Lewisburg. (Awesome staff at the HIE) I also enjoyed seeing a lot of West Virginia while driving home every three weeks or so. I will be posting soon on my new location once it’s finalized, but I will be able to post comments and pictures for you all to see.
