I'm Still Alive!

Hey all, sorry that its been so long since I last posted. I went to NY for a week and just got back last night.

My parents decided to make it a road trip so we drove which took about 12 hours. The only part of the drive that is boring is driving through Ohio. I seriously think that Ohio is the longest state in the world to drive through. Not to mention that its flat like Indiana and Illinois. Pennsylvania on the other hand is very pretty, and not flat. I liked driving through there.

On the way there we stopped in Pennington, NJ, which is right near Princeton. My parents have some friends that live there. We walked around Princeton, very beautiful town. The university of course is too.

Then we headed for good ol' Long Island. My mom's sister and her family belong to a beach club so we spent a day there, it was my first time at the beach this summer. It was soo nice. Monday we headed to the Hamptom's, my mom's brother and his family have a house there. They recently added an extentsion and did a ton of re-decorating so the house looked totally different. That was fun too, despite my 7 yr-old twin boy cousin's who are cute at first and then get REALLY annoying. They are just at that age I guess.

Wednesday I got to spend the day in the city with my sister, it was great to be in NYC in the summertime. We walked around the Village, and at night we went out to this really nice Italian restaurant with one of her friends.

Now I am back home in Chicago and I start my new job on Monday. I'm both excited and scared. I think that it will be fine though. I'll just have to get used to the commute and spending the whole day on the phone.

Well, more to come soon. If you don't hear from me for another week its because I'm exhausted from my hour long commute.
