Moving to Virginia

Hey again.

A lot has happened since my last post, and I'm happy to report that I will begin working for Lockheed Martin in a little over a week! Monday, I drove to Manassas, VA to look at apartments. Tuesday, I found a beautiful apartment (and reasonably priced -- for the area) with a 15-minute commute to work. It's located near everything I could want or need: work, the University, shopping, it's right next to the commuter rail station to D.C., and only 15 minutes from Washington Dulles airport.

This is the floor plan for my new apartment.


The complex is only 3 years old, and has lots of sound insulation. The grounds are gated and very well-maintained. There's a jogging path around the entire complex, and a fitness room with machines and free weights both! This is great, because now my resolution to get a gym membership is fulfilled without having to spend hundreds of dollars a year.

I'm really excited about finding this place and how quick my search was: I got to come back home to Georgia a day earlier than I expected. Crista and Dad will drive up with me and my stuff on Friday and return Sunday, then work starts two Mondays later on the twenty-fourth.

Send me an email for my new address! I'd love to have friends and family come visit me!
