ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

... of working and living in Baltimore! Hoorah!!

Today marks my one year of employment at Johns Hopkins. It has been a whirlwind of excitement and fun. I have great co-workers and a never surprising environment to work in.

Living in Maryland has been full of surprises. I can't tell you how many nuances I've noticed by living here.
Living in Bmore...I've experienced:
-the diverse population...this really is a huge thing! :D
-crab cake lumps
-harbor with dragon paddle boats
-the rain
-adapting my language
-driving on less than ideal roads
-the DC temple
-megabus trips to NYC
-bad hair cuts
-sleepless nights from rotating schedule
-trips to the mall
-trips to sudsville to wash my laundry (which still scare me ..a little bit)
-amazing race around bmore
-the changing leaves (twice)
-several trips to BWI
-light rail adventures
-Camden Yards
-Purple lights of Bmore during Ravens season
-my fun Ward that is so chill and has amazing marriage stats
-Professional Bull Riding
-My first Derby Fair Event

Yummy Food I've had:
-Koopers Tavern for burger night
-Blue moon breakfasts
-Paper moon's eclectic atmosphere
-Golden West Cafe
-breakfast at Cafe Hon
-oh the fun Fudgery
-The Dogwood Cafe
-my first vegan food: One World Cafe
-PF Changs

Language I've heard:
"I fell out"
"I might be 405"
"Come here honey, mama know it hurt, God goin to make it all better"
"I'm hungry, I'm a fat girl and I got's to eat"
"I don't pay it no mind"
"I got out the room"
...
that's all that come to me right now, but I'm sure there are many many more!!

It's been a good year....On to another..

A Day of Adventures...

Today I finished my year at Johns Hopkins....YEA!!! Here is the group that started with me:

Also today, the roomie and I decided we'd go to the gym...we walk in and she says "want to play raquetball?" I agree, and then we both enter the small, plastic walled room that echos. Do we know how to play? Nope. Do we try? Yep. Do we make up our own rules? Yep. Do we stop playing raquetball? Yep. Here's what we did next:

Trip: to Montana

We went on a Vacation during Devin's time off from internship to visit his mom in Montana. We had a great time. We, I mean I learned how to fly fish, bait fish, understand house dogs, cook masterpieces etc. It was so beautiful! Glacier National Park, Bison Reserve, Flat Head lake etc. Just gorgeous. We had a great time off and time together, hopefully the next vacation will be just as fun and scenic. Next Vacation: wedding!!

Apple Picking and a return to Walden Pond

It was a great day of surprises. I was able to go apple picking at Phil's Apple Orchard outside Boston. Deliciousness!! Then we went back and took a turn around the pond, as it was not raining this time, and the leaves were starting to show a variety of colors. We scarfed down our freshly picked apples and took off for an adventure.





Devin tried to grab a peach (out of season) from a tree that was all by it's lonesome...He touched it, then it fell squishy an plopped on his back. So hilarious! I'm still laughing...

Walden Pond: This was the exact view I was looking at prior to Devin's proposal.
Gorgeous colors!

Some random train tracks on the side of the Pond trail, made for a fun pit stop in our trail adventure
