Chapter One

Overwhelming but THRILLING!

Well, I'm moved in [with two incredible women, Jen and Katie] to my first apartment, ever and am already wanting to live here forever. But unfortunately I'm receiving very limited living allowance and will most likely be moving somewhere cheaper in the next two months. But that's okay.

Jen, Katie, and I had a girls night last night before my first day of work to play 'get to know each other' and it was awesome. I've never been so excited about a new living experience as I was last night. Katie, though, will be moving in a couple weeks and Jen will be too just another month or so later so I'll definitely be needing a new roommate and/or a cheaper place come October. Fortunately the girl I'm replacing [the wonderful Desiree] has a friend of a friend who needs a roommate that I've been chatting with briefly so I'm hoping for the best in that case. I'll be updating with that, for sure.

But on to the most exciting - I started today!! I finally met Eve and Desiree in person today and they are both beyond wonderful. Within minutes I already felt comfortable with the team I'm working with and am already upset that Jen and Des will be leaving in 6 weeks. I didn't do any real work today but certainly learned a lot. There were a few of us that went on a walking tour of the Habitat Sites and it definitely was a lot to take in. It was so cool though to see how much work has already taken place in the last ten or so years and there is such an amazing vision for the future that I can't wait to help initiate! One of the first things that Eve mentioned today is that there would be a lot of information today and would appear as being overwhelming at first but then we'd realize how smoothly things run through the team. I definitely felt that. There was absolutely a lot today to take in but it was amazing!

Tomorrow is another day to learn more and I can't wait! Keep reading!!
