Alive but Tired!

After 10 hours of traveling and an half hour in a cab I finally arrive at my new home. I had a lay over in Denver and due to weather on the east coast my flight was not only delayed but also had to redirect to avoid the storms. For three hours of the four hour flight a baby screamed (poor parents) and right behind me a man talked at top volume in a language I didn't understand. I tried to rent a movie (Fool's Gold) but due to technical problems the sound was mostly fuzzy. So needless to say it was not an enjoyable flight. I was scheduled to land at Washington National Airport at 10:00 pm but did not arrive until 11:30 pm. I gather my two HUGE bags and hailed a cab. I am not sure how this cab ever passed the safety test (maybe he bribed the mechanic...not that I know what that is like ;)). There was no air conditioning so we drove with the windows down...and all I could hear was the thumping of something on the outside of the car. The driver barely spoke English (do any of them?) and he had no idea how to get where I needed to go. Seeing as this was my second time I had no idea either. In a state of panic I text Quenten to give me directions. After what felt like days he finally text me back with directions...phew! I was seriously in panic mode. I arrive at the new pad around 12:30 am. Exhausted and emotionally drained. I vented to a couple people then hit the sack around 1:30 am. Due to my bedroom being directly below the kitchen I am able to hear everything that goes on...and I mean everything. Any footstep or pin dropping I hear it (no worries I am getting ear plugs). At 7:30 am when Jonas and JJ wake up I in turn also wake up. Besides that eventful night the day went pretty well. The family said goodbye to their nanny (Tess)...it was pretty emotional even for me and I barely knew her. She seemed like an awesome nanny and I feel that I have a lot to live up to. We then had lunch and I spent the rest of the day relaxing and shopping at Tyson's Corner (best shopping EVER)!!!!! I get to go to the singles ward tomorrow...which I am kind of nervous about. What if no one likes me? I feel like it is the first day of kindergarten all over again (yes I remember what that was like). Then I start work on Monday...Wish me luck!

Here are some pics of my room....it is kind of plain until I get my packages (hopefully by Thursday).

Can you see that thing on the dresser...that is my flat screen TV.

That is my closet...it is huge! Trust me I will need every inch of it.
View from my bed to the door...just outside that door is the kids playroom and my bathroom.

Jonas...The little boy I will be watching. This is his new truck Tess gave him.

My cat who hissed at me when I said bye. No she did not come with me. I wish!
