Another Year Older, Hopefully a Little Bit Wiser





So, my birthday celebration was interesting.  I decided to have a get together for drinks at The Hot Club on the water.  A bunch of people were there including some people from Ledgemont, mainly Rui & Sandra, two of my most favorite people ever.  People kept on buying me drinks....it was a fun time.  

The day before my birthday I celebrated a bit more intimately with my boyfriend & his sister & her boyfriend by getting on a boat & heading to Block Island for the day.  This day consisted of seafood & renting bikes & biking around the island.  While biking we discovered the most wonderful little beach with cliffs & everything (after a fifteen minute hike from the road).  We then road back to the towns & found a public beach & sat around there until the last boat to the mainland departed.  On the ride back we saw the most gorgeous sunset.  Also, this was Rodolfo's first time on a boat.  Shocking, I know, being that he grew up in the Dominican Republic, but very true.  

In other news, my Mother & my little brother are moving in less than a month to Virginia's Eastern Shore & my sister is going up to Sterling Vermont for college.  My grandparents are most likely moving to Rhode Island & will be close to me.  Some serious changes going on here.  

Allie has also moved to Florida.  I miss her!  At least we started talking again before she moved.  Now I have a reason to visit both Virginia and Florida, which I have promised to do.  It'll be a great opportunity for Rodolfo to get to see more parts of the U.S as well.  We are already planning to go to Virginia for Christmas.  

Anyway, I'm hoping that more posts that are interesting will come.  For example, things that I am interested in lately and what I've been up to this summer since I haven't worked.  

Ay...I start work again tomorrow.  This should bring some interesting things to talk about....

Viva La Vida

Here is my new blog...or rather my first blog. I had my livejournal for a long time. Part of me wants to keep up with that, but another part of me feels that that part of me is long gone. So here we go. Blogs.

I live in Providence, RI. I live with my boyfriend (some might say fiance), Rodolfo. He's Spanish. I never thought I would say this, but I love him. I hang out with my friends and Rodolfo's family. I know I hate Rhode Island, but I am still here. I like a lot about it (minus the people and the way they drive and the politics). It's a love-hate relationship. I work at The University Club. The job search after graduating the university of my dreams has been 100 times harder than I had expected. The interviews....slightly less than disappointing. Professional self esteem? Laughable. I need to work on this.

My family lives in New York, but my Mom and brother are most likely moving to Virginia shortly. My sister is going to go to school in Vermont come September.

LIFE.
