It takes some getting used to...

I guess moving to a different city for 10 weeks (so far) has not been my favorite thing in the world. We were lucky enough to sublease from some friends, and the apartment complex is nice as well (there is a pool, tennis court, racquetball court, and club house). There are however, BUGS! and lots of them! It's wierd because all the windows are shut, doors closed and they still get in, so we had to buy some insecticide for the inside, and the complex sprayed some heavy-duty stuff on the outside, so it has been less buggy.

Mostly, Fae and I have kicked it pool-side and hung out at home, #1 because Jarom leaves for work pretty early and I don't want to get up and take him there, and#2 because I can't figure out the roadways here! You're either on a 5 lane highway or some back road and our GPS seems to think nothing exists! No matter what address you throw in there it pretty much says "there are no addresses found for that roadway". great. So I really haven't ventured out much- except to walmart, where we noticed that everything (with the exception of peanut butter.. which is 6.79 for the small jar) is cheap! strawberries are .99 a lb! so that's cool, because I love to make fruit smoothies for lunch.

Yesterday I did some venturing as well, Fae and I tried to get to Moe's for lunch.. unsucessful... so we went to McDonalds, where I got a salad and it tasted like dirt.. again. Then we went to 2 parks, both of which were DISGUSTING! I don't know what it is about this place but people just don't care about the environment I guess.. trash everywhere, bottle caps, fast food wrappers, even clothes were just everywhere... I'm just gunna say, NY might have high taxes, but the parks are CLEAN! and the roadways are clear of fallen trees/logs. AND my GPS can find ANY location. ANY!

Last night, we all went on a nature walk, it's pretty close to "home", and it was nice, but short.. fae ran the whole thing pretty much without stopping... this girl is going to run track or play soccer or something, she loves to run!

(these pictures are in reverse order-- still cant figure out this new blogger)

So, since this was technically a "Fitness trail" there were stations all throughout with different exercises to do.. so naturally I had to show Fae some of my awesome gymnastics skills hahahaha.. pardon my bum.

This camera makes it look like it was dark out.. it was around 6:00 pm, so the sun, I assure you, was out, I'm not sure why the camera took such dark pictures!

The beginning of the trail started next to a pretty busy highway...which was scary because Fae is FAST! Since we've been here we have gotten a total of 8 comments sounding a lot like this:

"Wow yall' that baby is fast! she gonna' run that track someday.. or play soccer, she like a bolt o' lightnin' that one!" hahaha I tried to incorporate the accent..

Anyway, it's going to take some getting used to for us... I really do love NY, and I will miss it terribly when we leave.. don't ask me why I love it, because I can't put my finger on it really.. I do love that my parents are there, but it's more than that, just not sure what! Better not get too attached though, Jarom's career is going to have us moving like every 2 years I bet!
