If you’re friends with me, there’s a good chance you know Dan. He’s chronicled our week here.
It has been long. It has been annoying. It has been painful. Long story short: I got laid off and neither of us have jobs. We blew a tire and hit a deer on the way back to Missouri. [...]

Dan and I went to the movies last Sunday. While we were waiting for the film to start, it dawned on me: I’m not in school anymore. I realized that for over a decade, most intensely during that past five years, I would spend Sundays working on assignments and dreading the next morning. This is [...]

I finally recovered from the beach stand hot dog incident. It took awhile.
This week has been abuzz with all things domestic. Sort of.
Dan and I went furniture shopping last week, and ended up buying a bed, dresser, bedside table, coffee table, end table, and loveseat sleeper-sofa thing. It’s all sorely needed, as the only furniture [...]

So, it’s been a bit since I’ve last written, and a lot has changed.
To begin, I am officially a married woman. That is, once my dad signs and sends off the marriage license. Dan and I had an intimate, beautiful ceremony with our immediate families, grandparents and a few close friends on Jan. 12 in [...]

Work updates:
*I made it through my first week of work without breaking anything or burning the building down.
*I really enjoy my job so far, and the people I work with make it very pleasant. We’re gearing up for the republican debates, which are taking place here in Myrtle Beach. The city has [...]

So, I never updated with how my first day of work went, so here goes:
It was good, and honestly there’s not too much to report. My first day was a holiday, so there weren’t as many people in the newsroom as usual, which is a good thing. It let me ease into meeting [...]

Avoid the Myrtle Beach Wal Mart at all costs. (Columbia residents: Don’t blame me, please. I am new to the area and haven’t found an alternate grocery store yet.)
The store was completely full on a Sunday evening. I have yet to buy any groceries for my new place, other than some eggs, [...]
