Moving is intense.

Oh boy.  Why didn't anyone tell me how much was involved with moving?
I've been in Vancouver, Washington for almost 1 whole week now.
It feels longer.
This week was filled with changing insurance (health and car!), changing all information, setting up my room, getting a new car, starting my new job...etc.
Phew.  So tired.

The good news is that I am really enjoying my job.
It is such a change of pace from any job that I have ever had.
I am actually being trained, my bosses bought me a brand new chair, and the people I help on a day to day basis are actually nice and not yelling at me.
It's wonderful.
I still have to get a second job since this one is only part time, so keep your fingers crossed that I get the one that I interviewed for last Tuesday.  I should find out either way about that one this coming Tuesday. *fingers crossed*

The other good news is that I did a bit of exploring.
Here are some crappy iphone photos. 
I'm definitely going to go back with my "fancy" camera and do a bit more!

See you next year.

Today is my favorite day of the year.

It's one of those days where I wish I still worked in customer service.
I loved handing people their order out the drive through and saying, "See you next year!"
The look on their face was priceless when they made the realization.

2012 was amazing.

Going to Europe.

Paris, France- Eiffel Tower
Rome, Italy- Trevi Fountain

Paris, France- Eiffel Tower

A roadtrip up to Alaska.

San Francisco, California- Chinatown (If I remember correctly)
Oregon- Crater Lake
Seattle, Washington- Space Needle


Yukon, Canada
Checking off the biggest thing on my bucket list:
Kissing Oscar Wilde's grave.

Paris, France- Pere Lachaise Cemetery
A fantastic year!  
Coming up for 2013?
- Finding a great job (Hopefully sooner rather than later!)
- Moving out?
- A trip to Iceland

I hope you all have a safe and fun New Years!
