Coming and Going

Mt. Vernon park and washington monument will be replaced with...
Downtown Takoma Park and the landmarks of my youth...

To all of my loyal blog readers, I am posting to inform you that as "okay" Baltimore has been over the last 3 and a half years, it is time for me to say goodbye. I have accepted a new position that will require me to relocate to the metropolitan area (DC/NOVA) and I must leave my Mt. Vernon sanctuary to brave the streets of the nation's capitol. This has been a bitter sweet decision for me because, although I am SUPER STOKED about my new position, I will dearly miss all that I have come to call home here in Baltimore. Of course, I am more than comfortable with my soon to be new digs since I grew up in the Takoma Park/Silver Spring area. So in essence, this will be a bit of a homecoming...more so because I will actually be living at home. Yeah, really cool, I know. This is a temporary stop gap for me to save money and get acclimated before I find an affordable place with a cool new roomie :)

Some of the things that come to mind that I will miss...

Zeke's coffee at the JFX Farmer's market on Sunday mornings...

Iggie's pizza as often as possible...

night caps at midtown yacht club and Sunday morning brunch buffets...

wednesday night runs with the Iggie's running club...

team thats what she said and Ryan's awesome ability to rally all of Baltimore's runners...

my 5 mile stadium run through Camden Yards and Ravens Stadium...

morning runs with McVets no matter how cold and how tired I might have been...

trips to canton dog park with the pups and my boyfriend...

working with such amazing and positive people at Friends...

my tremendously fantastic Friends School XC team...

being able to walk everywhere...

being able to run everywhere...

I will miss everything. Baltimore and my life here has been way better than okay...

I don't think this necessarily means I will cease blogging...nor do I have plans to rename the blog. I will continue to critique and comment on events, restaurants and general happenings that I stumble upon wherever they may be. I only hope to be as influenced and affected by my new/old environment. Until then...

Ciao Baltimore.
