I'm a Big Kid Now

After a 13 hour drive, I am back in NH. I went to VA for the week to get a car and pack up some things. Who knew one girl could have so many clothes. It was a nice trip which included:

• bus riding, flying, sitting in airports, and driving for 12 hours
  
• time with Franklin County friends
• buying a "new car"
  
• time with family
• seeing our house completely change (new paint, wood floors, and even new toilets)
• Hokies and Hokie football
• last minute packing, since I hung out with my friends instead of doing what needed to get done
• conquering the GW Bridge with me and my car in one piece
• visiting the Coast Guard Academy
• surviving my first big road trip by myself
  

Today I did big girl things like going to my new job orientation, registering my car in NH, getting tags for my car, and a NH driver's license. Tomorrow is my first day at my first real job, oh my! The real world so they call it...we'll see how this all plays out. Grad school anyone? I think so. ;) I am quickly finding out that being an adult is rather expensive. I guess I will have to wait to get that kayak I have been wanting in the spring.
