Gettin' Things Done: My Hood!

Hey Bloggy Friends! I hope you guys had an awesome weekend. We were very busy, as we shopped all around the city for some apartment essentials before we move in next weekend. It was quite a success! We purchased some great new items for our home and I can't wait until it all gets set up!

For those of you interested, I found this short video about Manayunk on Youtube today and thought I would put it up for you to see. Manayunk, as some of you know, is the neighborhood we are moving into. It is a cute, trendy, rather quaint neighborhood just outside of Center City Philadelphia. I'm excited to get to know it better and become an official Manayunker!

Have a great Monday, Bloggy Friends. Talk to ya soon!

Love, Josh

Gettin' Things Done: Movin' & Shakin'!

Happy Friday, Bloggy Friends!

I hope you've had a great week and have an awesome weekend planned. My good friend Casey, and his beau, Hal, are in Argentina this week! I'm sure they're having a blast.

Well, the movers arrived and brought our stuff from San Francisco into our new place! It was an exciting day, until we realized that we hardly have enough to fill the place! I guess we should have realized, since we are moving from a tiny studio into a three bedroom house. It's going to take a while to fill it up, but that will be the fun part! Little by little we will get it together - starting with more important things like a bed and couch.

Today's bloggy video shows the fun events of that afternoon and I give you a little tour of the place, as promised. I'm really excited to move in!!

Have a great weekend, Bloggy Friends. See ya next week!

Love, Josh

Gettin' Things Done!

Hey Bloggy Friends! So, since we have been living here in Philadelphia we haven't had too much time to sight see yet. Instead we are doing what we can to get important things done so that we can get settled in to start enjoying the city more. I have been around some though and I can tell you that I really love it so far. I can just feel something in the air that instantly makes me feel welcome. It has such a different feel than San Francisco had, one that is more familiar and comforting. I guess it's because I grew up nearer to this region of the country. There is also a strong feeling of acceptance. People here just seem to have an anything goes kind of attitude. They are warm, helpful and funny!

I'm so happy to be here and i can't wait to familiarize myself with the city after being here a little longer. I just know that the city and the area has so much to offer both of us! I think I have told some of you, but in January I am starting school again at Temple University - I am super excited about that!! Alan started his job and really loves it so far. His office mate is a cute lesbian woman who just had a baby with her partner!

Have a great day Bloggy Friends. I'll see ya'll Monday! Have a fun weekend.

Love, Josh
