Getting up to speed...
- Obviously, I moved to Philadelphia! Said goodbye to my closest friends and family and headed north to pursue something awesome.
- Got accepted to, and started graduate school at Temple University. Another Art History degree, here I come!
- I moved in with my best friend and greatest roommate of a lifetime, Keith.
- We adopted the coolest little cat in the WORLD, Theo… aka boogerhead (more on him later)
- WE GOT ENGAGED!! Here’s a look at the fancy ring that I get to wear for the rest of my life (no complaints from me)
- Continuing my masters, one semester down, three to go. I have a lot of work to do, and I’m hoping 2010 will motivate me to be the best student I can be.
- GETTING MARRIED! and getting a new last name. I love my family to pieces, but I can’t wait to start a family of my own (I promise, your family is going to be jealous of how awesome the Richards’ will be)
- Getting to wake up next to my favorite person every single day this year. 2009 was still a year of long distance dating, but now that we’re together, I can’t imagine living (or even BEING) miles away
- Continuing to explore our new city and all the exciting things it has to offer. Hopefully making so new Philadelphia friends in the process too haha
A new beginning
To friends and fellow bloggers, this is a new adventure in the blogging world for me. I've been a very dedicated tumblr for the past 3 years and this is not a departure from that, just an addition to it, something a little calmer, and a little more personal.
As most may know, at the end of August 2009 I packed up everything I owned into a trailer and embarked on a new adventure and new phase of life in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Leaving Florida for an indefinite amount of time (if not forever) was not a decision that I made lightly. I’m a lover of sun and all things warm. Sandals, shorts, and spending all year with the sunroof open is all I’ve ever known.
But here I am, with the love of my life, in a new and exciting city experiencing my first winter. This blog (hopefully) will be a personal chronicle of my always changing battle with the weather, and all that has come along with my new life away from the Sunshine State.
