Well…time for a brief update. I guess I can now say that I’m settled at my new residence. My first day in Virginia was January 3rd (though, I didn’t get my furniture until January 5), so it’s been right at a month now that I’ve been here.
Overall impressions are pretty good. I like the area. I live in a nice neighborhood with a residential suburban feel, but I am extremely close to lots of shopping and amenities. That’s a big change for me from my last location. 
Plus, I’m really close to DC, so I have all sorts of things there to do on the weekend.
It’s only really snowed once since I got here, and that was on a Thursday. So, I had to be an adult and go to work instead of getting out and building a snowman like I wanted to. Below are a couple of pictures from that snow, though. One is of my row of townhouses and the other is a view from my deck.
So, here I am… Busy trying to learn my way around, make new friends, figure out my job, and all other fun things that come from moving to a new city. Hopefully my friends from my old residence won’t forget about me and will keep in touch.
