new home

i have had a wonderful day in va beach; my second day as a beach resident.  i woke up this morning to see a couple of missed calls from theresa and a notification on facebook that she and tony were engaged!  i couldn't wait until it was a less rude time to call and tried calling her back at 7 a.m.  thankfully she called back about 15 mins. later so we could do some squealing.  i'm really happy for her.

afterwards, i dressed into my running clothes and headed out to first landing park.  i was a little disappointed to discover it was 5 bucks to get in but i figured, i've already driven out there so might as well go.  it was beautiful!  i ran a long run through a well-kept trail that led through bits of marshes, swamps, and small grassy fields all covered with trees and moss.  i would love to go back but i think i will still to the free oceanfront for the most part.

once i showered, i drove around for a long while to do some exploring and to find a tj maxx to return a dress.  there is everything you could possibly need in this area; tons of stores and restaurants!  i came back to make a sandwich and then headed to the ocean on a little red beach buggy bike.  the oceanfront is a mere 5 minute bike ride from the house.  it was an amazing 76 degrees out there.  the water was absolutely freezing but there were still some that were able to brave the cold and dive in!  to top it off, a school of dolphins swam by.  it was the perfect day.

i feel so lucky.  i'm living in a beautiful place with an incredibly nice housemate.  he is unbelievably helpful and hospitable.  he has made me feel completely welcome and i am so grateful.
i start my clinical tomorrow.  last night i read some information my c.i. sent me about postural restoration and my mind was pretty much blown.  i have never heard of this kind of therapy before so i'm eager to see what it's all about.
