WeLcOmE mE!!

So! I've decided to join the wild world of blogging...with a little help from Blad. I'm still not sure what the crap I'm doing or what to even blog about...but I'm just gonna go with it. We'll see what happens!

So I'm sure Brad & Andrea are the only people who will even look at this, but I'm still gonna give a little background info!....


I've been living in Dumfries, Virginia for the past 4 months working as a nanny and it is FABULOUS!! I love it. Its so pretty and green here! Soooo many trees! It's crazy...There are places that exist that you'd never know about because trees hide everything. The freeways are lined with trees so you can't see into the towns/cities you pass very well. Its not like driving on I-15 in Salt Lake, thats for sure. And traffic SUCKS!! All the time....rush hour is every hour here. So to go about 8 miles takes 20 minutes. It can get irritating at times, but I've sorta gotten used to it. And drivers here seem to be either really nice or really rude. No inbetween.....its one or the other. I've gotten flipped off so many times, for no reason....people just flip ya off. I guess it's the thing to do here...? One time I saw a younger girl, probably around my age, totally flip off an old grandma lady for not turning quicker! Give me a break! She's a grandma! But then there are people who smile and wave at ya while stopped at a stoplight. People out here are so interesting. I could sit and just watch people all day. There are some weirdies....and I no longer go to Wal-Mart after dark cuz it turns into mini-mexico/africa and it gets pretty creepy! Anyway!

I live about 30 mins south of Washington D.C. and about 3 hours from Virginia Beach. So thats fun...There is always something going on and there is so much to see and do here! Good times... I live with an awesome family and watch the cutest 1 1/2 yr old boy EVER! There's the little man, Chase. He's the cutest..He's starting to learn lots of new words and how to count and he's a lot of fun. A lot of work, but a lot of fun. I love my job! I also have the raddest friend ever in the world. I'm closest to three...Kami, Julie and Randi. (Randi moved home to Utah in April, but we still talk almost everyday and have gotten really close) They are great times 10. We have a ton of fun whenever we hang out. Which hasn't been a lot lately cuz i've been a bit preoccupied with a boy...I'll get to him later :) But they are awesome friends and I love them tons. And through them I've met a bunch of really cool people out here. So LIFE IS GOOD!

But the best part of living in Virginia so far has been meeting Samson Aisea Levatau! He moved out here May 8th to do pest control for the summer, and we've been dating since then. He's the best. I'm pretty much with him every night after he gets off work and we have a ton of fun together. He makes me happy and I'm very much in love with him!

(this is us at the movies one night...sam's really forcing that smile out...haha)

Well, I think thats enough background info for now...my bum is starting to go numb and thats a good indicator that I've been sitting here for far too long. I need to get some things accomplished while Chaser is sleeping!

So until next time...Love, peace and chicken grease!
Amy OUT!
