Hey all. So, we are really bad at this whole blog thing, but I promise we'll try to get posts up more often.

Anyway, We've been here over a month now, and things are going well. We have gone out and explored a little in our town and others, and have even had some fun surprises land right on our front steps as well. A few weeks ago we were eating dinner in our apartment and looked outside to see a whole parade of literally hundreds of Corvettes driving by. Then they stopped right in front and the whole town came out to walk around and enjoy the beautiful cars. So that was something unexpected that we were able to enjoy.

Also, we have been going to Harrisburg, PA's capital (and they do call it "P.A." out here), about 1/2 hr from here to explore and find fun things to do. The other weekend we went over and they had a main street that runs along the Susquehanna river closed off and there was a huge fair with tons of really good food and fun games and shows. There was even a whole section dedicated to a chili contest, so we definitely took advantage of the samples that all the booths were handing out.

The vast majority of our time, however, as I bet you can imagine, is spent for me at school, and Kate at work. Kate enjoys her job at a small family owned bakery/sandwich shop where she is a manager of the front part of the store. School is going well for me, and though it is of course very difficult, I have been relieved thus far to find that it isn't quite as bad as I had expected.

I have included some pictures of the car show below, and also of our apartment. So, enjoy!!
