Made It!

Finally made it to Virginia and November. My catch up should go fast now. The first two weeks in Virginia I stayed at my college roommates place in Leesburg. Both she and her husband said I could stay as long as I needed to. Gratefully, I found a place so I didn't outstay that welcome. My new place charged me to move in on a weekend, and I wasn't about to pay that fee. I convinced the guys at my work to move my stuff in and in return I'd buy them all pizza. Worth the $50. Easiest move I've ever had.

I spend most of the month acclimating myself to the area, getting lost on random roads, finding cool things from getting lost, and catching up with old friends. Staying in Virginia for Thanksgiving felt odd as I was used to being surrounded by family, but friends who were in town during that time made up for it and I discovered how much I love exploring.
