Welcome Home!

There was much worry about my move out to Bismarck. My nephew was due on Aug. 6 and had not yet arrived, and I was bound and determined not to leave Ohio until I saw him. So, on Aug. 11 he finally came into the world (and was cute as a button!!), and I headed out West on Aug. 12. I finally arrived on Thursday, August 17, and let me tell you, was it hot! It was roughly 98degrees out here.. perfect weather for carrying numerous large objects into a building!

The weekend was pretty nice. My parents were here and the weather was great. I finally got everything unpacked and situated into my new home, and my parents hit some of the sites here. We went to this grill and bar called Buck's Roadhouse, of course.. and my dad had never been to Buffalo Wild Wings, so we ate there as well. On Saturday, we went to mass at the Cathedral, which happened to be a bit short of an actual Cathedral. Then we ate supper at a restaurant along the Missouri River. Sunday we had planned on going to the "beach" at the park across the street from my apartment that we were told about.. Well, more like Riverbed. It was slightly disappointing. So, we went to the Zoo instead, which was pretty fun!

This morning my parents headed home, and I had my first day of work in the office. My head coach basically just showed me the ropes and got me set up for recruiting, so it was not too overwhelming I hope. Tonight will be my first night alone in my apartment, so hopefully I survive and don't get too freaked out about all of those new little noises and such.

Wish me luck!!
