After reading Gretchen’s post, I figured I would give you all an update on my life. I arrived in North Carolina after a long 12 hour journey on Friday. It was a horrible drive—lots of traffic and much longer than expected. But it’s done and we arrived safely. Life in Durham has been tiring, but fun so far. Mark and I basically spent the whole weekend unpacking, rearranging the apartment, and food shopping. We have adjusted well to living together for the most part…minus the fact that he infected the whole kitchen with raw chicken yesterday. It is still hard for me to actually believe I will be living here for the next three months. I just feel like I am on vacation right now, but I assume that will change once I get adjusted to everything.
I started my new job today. I am watching a nice little boy and there are no mini-lions in his house which is excellent, but the hours are very long and it gets somewhat boring. I will soon be allowed to take him places which will hopefully help the time pass.
That is all that is new here. If you turn on the news anytime this week, you will get to see the area I am living in…right next to Duke University Hospital, where Senator Kennedy is right now. Perhaps you might even see the green jeep drive by since I pass the tv cameras on my way to work.
My life for the next few months will likely be filled with lots of dirty diapers, temper tantrums, and long stroller rides in the 100 degree heat! I miss you all and so wish to go back to the comforts of college life!

Hey Lauren,
Last night at a bar I met a friend from high school and found out that she is going to the same program at Columbia that you are going to. Her name is Sarah Stimson and she is very nice. If you mention me, you'll have at least one thing to talk about.

Ooo awesome! Thanks!
When I saw Ted Kennedy was at Duke medical center, I was wondering if that was close to where Mark does his thing, but apparently it's close to both of you! I think Mark should have wandered in and poked him - just for the sake of it.
Thank goodness no minilions! haha though I have to say after working at my job a bit, I do have to agree with you that MAN some cats can be quite vicious...even minilionish if i do say so myself.
