are first impressions really that important?
headed to small town new hampshire on the red eye via boston tonight. to make some first impressions.
are they really that important? if so, i'm a little nervous. we're going for the weekend to meet the people with whom we'll be spending the next two years of our lives. and i kind of want them to like me.
either way, i'm excited to see what dartmouth is all about. the classrooms he'll study and learn in. the halls he'll walk every day. the gym he promised me i could get a membership to {as running in zero degrees is not really my thing}. the schools leah might attend. the playgrounds we'll play on. the home we might live in.
to see if i can really hack it in a place where there isn't a target, costco or trader joe's within a stone's throw. just a wal-mart. yuck. maybe new hampshire wal-marts are different.
i'm excited to see new england nature first-hand. i know the snow is just melting, flowers most likely aren't in full bloom as they are here in california and the ground is covered in mud. but i'm excited to see what it's all about.
wish us luck. it's going to be a whirlwind of a weekend full of firsts...and first impressions.

how exciting! (except for the Wal Mart-but it HAS to be kind of nice in new hampshire!). everyone will love you. i promise. :)
You.
Are gorgeous. Funny. Creative. Talented.
They're gonna love you!
Luck!
I'm excited to see it right along with you! I hope you will take pictures. Boston seems like a fascinating place and New England? gettouttahere :0)! So fun!
Yay! I think moving to new places is so exciting! And starting school is exciting, too. Granted, that wears off, but it's always exciting to start.
I bet you will be just fine! It is a little scary at first, but give it time and you will come to love your new home. I simply get excited for you guys and all the adventures that lay ahead! Especially thinking that we're on the tail-end of it and how much I am going to miss all of our grad school friends. You will meet new people that will become your family and you will wonder why you ever doubted that you would love it there. Have fun getting to see it in person! But I am sorry to hear about not having a Target. Hopefully there is a town close by that does!
They're going to love you. You'll love them. Because that's just who you are: loveable and full of love. Have a great trip! Tell us all about it!
Who wouldn't love you?!
I'm thinking I'd save a lot of time + money if there wasn't a target close by. :)
I just got the Be Still print from Persimmon & Pink on Etsy. It's a beautiful reminder.
Do post about your experience there! Dave ended up deferring his admission to next year, so we'll be joining you in a year! I hope to get a good idea of what it'll be like through your experience :).
we are going to miss you!!!!!! and i bet walmarts are beautiful over there ;) love you!
That picture looks cold.
I loved living in the East and I am sure you will too:) It is so beautiful up where you are going, I hear it's a lot colder in the winter... which I can't even imagine, ct was so dang cold, but the fall up where you will be.... to literally die for! Oh how I miss fall in the east. You have to go apple picking and get cider donuts.... I think I am going to start crying just thinking about one more fall here in LV.... oh have so much fun!
How fun! I'm excited for your new adventure, but sad you won't be in California any more for a visit. Maybe you'll end up at Whirlpool with us in Michigan? :) Good luck and knock em dead.
