Er...holy crap...it's been a while since I've written. Is it already the 16th of June?
Time has been flying.

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind. I had a pretty nasty cold the week after graduation which this week I am finally pronouncing myself free from. The following week I was informed that I had an interview in Plymouth, Massachusetts to work at their living history plantation. Matt came with us and had an interview himself. We drove out on the morning of Thursday the 9th to make it to my interview by 3pm. While I was in my interview Matt had a call from a place in Buffalo where he had interviewed the last week with a job offer. I was pretty ecstatic for him, as while yes, the job is only 6 months technically (there is a chance for extension or further work with the company) it is the first offer he has had since he started job hunting a year ago.

After Matt had his Plymouth interview on Friday the 10th, mom, dad, Matt and I headed up to Vermont since it was about a four hour drive and would be a nice stop. Vermont was a nice visit and Matt and I were both really happy to be there despite the fact that it rained most the day we were there. We still managed to get in a decent walk in the hills though. There is something about Vermont that just feels like home. It was also good to see Matt's grandmother, Beppy, and parents again. Matt's parents had their black lab Sadie with them and she practically wigged out when she saw Matt and I emerge from the suburban and then my mom and dad, who she immediately identified as dog people and proceeded to latch on to.
I was glad with how the Vermont visit went. As suspected, mom loved the house and talking to Matt's grandmother. Dad enjoyed it too as he and Beppy had a very similar humor style. I think it was just good for Matt and I's parents to see each other a little more, as at most they've spent a handful of hours together.

Sunday we rolled back to New York bright and early. By the time we arrived at 3pm we had all spent about 18 hours in a car together. Then Matt and I were slated for another drive on Monday the 13th so he could set up some things for his job in Buffalo. He has a cheap apartment owned by a family friend pretty much ready and waiting for him. After Buffalo we drove on to Richmond, Indiana so that Matt could start packing.
Total logged hours in a car in five days: 29.

So that's where I am currently, in Richmond with Matt. I'm here partially because I am greedy for time with Matt and also to waste some time while I wait to hear back from Plymouth (which will likely be Monday at soonest). On Saturday night Matt and I are headed back to Buffalo and I'll be home sometime on Sunday. Total hours logged in a car by then: 39.

So far the month is flying by fast.

Once I get home I'll have a lot of thinking and organizing to do. A lot of things are in flux for me. I am not as cynical feeling as I was in my last entry but there are a great number of things in question for me right now.

Anyhoo, that's the quick and dirty of the past two week plus.

Peace.
