My last post was over a year ago stating that it's been a while since I've posted anything. I have been busy I guess... The whole being pregnant, giving birth, being a mama, graduating college and then moving across the country to go to Graduate School. Yes. it's been quite an adventure.
SO far, nobody here from Chicago and Eastward drives the speed limit. The speed limit will say 55 and everyone is going around 70ish. My poor little Honda baby is probably exhausted from the drive from Seattle to New Haven, Connecticut. We drove through and visited Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and finally arrived in Connecticut August 1st. When we arrived, the Monsoon's welcomed us to our new home.
Abigail, my baby cakes, absolutely loved the drive and loves where we live. Mostly everyone in our apartment complex has a child. So far, almost every family we have met, the husbands are attending graduate school and the wives are staying home. It's been hard trying to relate to anyone here because BOTH Anthony and I are attending graduate school in less than three weeks. Everyone is so nice here. There are people from Barcelona, Italy, Russia, China, India, Nigeria, Utah lol, Sri Lanka and Canada. I love how diverse it is in comparison to Spokane.
There are so many restaurants. New Haven, CT is known for their food. You name it, they probably have it! They have Thai, Chinese, Italian, Brick Pizza, American, Greek, Mediterranean, Soul-food, amazing dessert places and little unique eclectic coffee shops. Coming from Seattle, Starbucks is everywhere. They would be three or four in just one intersection. Here in CT, Dunkin Doughnuts is everywhere. I miss seeing the green everywhere.
The people here are genuinely nice, they are always straight to the point, which I admire, and have been willing to help.
My list of things that I miss from home
1. My family
2. My dog
3. Our amazing church family
4. The Sunsets
5. All the babies and my mama friends
6. EWU McNair
I know it takes time to build a network/family, it is just so hard... We have visited a great church here. They are all so sweet and nice. It's always nice to have fellow brothers and sisters everywhere you go!
For now, this is all that has been going on. School starts in three weeks and then who knows when my next update will be. Goodbye for now friends!
