New Adventures of Old Christine

Well it is official...I got a new job and am relocating to....dun dun dun....Washington D.C.!!

I am very excited about this change and I think it will be a good one! What spawned this, you ask? Well, being a young single and accomplished (haha) gal such as myself, there is not much to do around Northwest Ohio, or lots of Ohio as a matter of fact. I figured a change of scenery would be nice and I wanted to pick a place that is young, vibrant, active and has a lot going for it! D.C. seemed to be the perfect fit. I have loved it everytime I have visited and could always picture myself living there. This is the time to do it, and I know that if I do not do something I will regret it. If I do not like it, I can always move back...but I doubt I will not enjoy myself :)

I will be working for a private practice and I got a really really good vibe from the owner, so I am very pumped about that! The new job will start in January so I am moving in December. It will be sad to leave all of my Toledo and beyond friends, but luckily there is FB and email! Plus, I am pretty good at making friends so I am sure I will make some great new ones too! I already know some people down there so that is a huge plus! YAY!! Excitement all around!

It will also be hard leaving my job now, since I enjoy the job itself and everyone I work with. They were very understanding and agree that if I want to move and explore new things, now is the time to do it! I have no doubt that they will find someone wonderful!! Clearly not as funny or witty as me but what can you do....HAHAAH!! I kid, I kid!

In other news, Dad comes home from Europe on the 17th..YAY!!! He is very excited to be home and we are excited to have him back :)

Sarah, one of my speech friends, is getting married this coming Saturday and that will be a BLAST! I am looking forward to seeing how gorgeous she looks but also excited to see alllll of my speech friends!! It should be a great time, plus who passes up good food and drinks and dancing?!?!? Still not 100% sure who my date is, but hopefully Marie can stay the weekend and do me the honor! She is coming down Friday and we are hanging..woot woot!! Also super pumped about that!!

Have I mentioned how excited I am about moving? I am looking for a place to live on Craigslist. I know, CRAIGSLIST!! Murderers are on that site, Christine!! Actually, there are also very legit people and places to live. I am talking to one really cool girl at the moment but I am not sure if our schedules will mesh up for the proper moving time..I sure hope so because I enjoy chatting with her and she lives in a location where I am hoping to move!! Stay tuned.

That is the exciting news from Toledo, nothing else happening. The blog should surely be interesting and even more funny now!!

Thanks for reading and until next time....you stay classy.

It's been toooooo long!!

Hello everyone, not to worry, I am still alive!! Let me update you on some happenings:

Two weekends ago, I went down to Cincinnati to hang out with Mandy and Eric DiSalle, two of my favorite people and I had a stellar time!! They have a great place and it is walking distance to the bars and restaurants in their neighbo

rhood. Friday night was relaxed, Saturday Mandy and I worked out and went wedding dress shopping with one of her friends; she bought the dress and looked gorgeous! Mandy and I found a FIVE THOUSAND dollar dress for about 800....if I would have had extra money I used to fix my car, I totally would have bought it...Mandy said I should have too!! Always next time.....

Saturday afternoon I had a baby shower for Abby and that was fun! It is always nice to see the speech ladies (and Jen!) haha! Good food, lots of baby gifts and good times! Congrats Abby and Dave, looking forward to meeting your little one soon :)

After the baby shower I headed back to Many and Eric's to party!!!!! We got all dressed up and headed to a new Martini Bar downtown (very cool hangout) then went to another bar downtown. Eric dropped Mandy and I off at this cool bar really close to their house and Eric parked the car and met us there. Eric's two friends Andrew and "Noodle"

(aka Curt) were already there so we were hanging out with them. It was happy hour until MIDNIGHT so we enjoyed that for sure :) Tequila is always good, just an FYI. We headed back home, but stopped to get pizza by the slice (sorry Liz....we were hungry...and a little tipsy) but the worst part is I DROPPED MY CRUST!! I literally yelled MY CRRUUUUUSSSTTT and Mandy thought someone shot off my leg...hahahahah pricelesss!!! Here comes the REALLY funny part of the evening...

We headed back to Mandy and Eric's, chilled, and Mandy and I headed upstairs to go to bed. I am in the guestroom sleeping and all of a sudden my door opens. That's weir, am I dreaming? Someone climbs into the bed!!!! I say, "Who is in my bed?" (very Three Bears story-ish) and it is Andrew. He claims it is also his room to sleep since he stays there when he goes over Mandy and Eric's. We went back and forth until finally I just said stay in the room. Fun times!

The next day Mandy

and I had an amazing breakfast and headed to Cincinnati Premium Outlets! So many great stores and I bought a Michael Kors sweater (love it!!) and that was my only purchase. Gasp, I know. Cannot wait to hang with Mandy and Eric again!! :)

LAST week Mom and I took Chelle to the airport for her trip to Germany then France! Going to miss you Chelle but glad we have Skype :) I also got Rob's older laptop since he is a JERK and got a new Macbook Pro and an iPad. The new lappy is great and does not crash every five seconds...woot woot! THANKS ROB!!

LAST weekend Mom and I headed to D.C. to do some sight-seeing and other stuff! We had a blast, even though she did not do a segway tour with me......

Our hotel was alright, but we got a lot accomplished and the weather was beautiful! We went shopping a bit but did not make it to see Aunt Jenni, as originally planned. Oh well, still a success!!

In other news, I got to see my girl Lizzy last night for some games at her place and had a great time, as usual! We will get to hangout again tonight...yay! I am pumped it is Labor Day weekend, as I get an extra day to sleep in! Maybe I will try and scrapbook a bit later tonight...who knows! On the boy front....OH PLEASE! I am honestly not even looking or wanting a boy at this time because it's not worth it, I do not have the time and they are so lame. Sorry boys, but you are. This does not mean I will not enjoy meeting new ones and flirting and hanging out, but beyond that probably nothing :) I am still looking for a date to Sarah's wedding but hopefully Marie can go...best date ever!

Enjoy the extended weekend everyone! I will update soon on the exciting happenings of the world of Christine! Until next time.....xoxo
