getting the hang of it

So Chuck and I have been here in the city for a few weeks now - almost 1 month! woot! I can't lie, it feels pretty awesome every, single day that I wake up and I have (what I consider to be) the coolest view :) to say that i'm proud of us for making this change might be a little of an understatement. the truth is, moving away from my comfort zone of familiarity, family and friends is a scary thing that I have wanted for such a looooong time. I have mentioned to many people that I wanted to feel like "a fish out of water" and boy do i ever. but i also feel like a real honest, adult for the first time in my life. It feels a little weird to be saying that at 28, but its true. we are slowly acclimating to the world around us, and everyday i feel more and more comfortable venturing out and exploring the city around me. I know it will take time to make DC feel like home, but thankfully, i get a little taste of everyday. and one of things that I'm doing to feel more "homey" is writing in this blog. I haven't even told my family about it yet - i want to get the ball rolling a little bit more first.
