Coming to America

I came to America on July 2nd, only to end up bouncing around from hotel to hotel for 3 whole weeks. In those three weeks we went from staying in Morristown, to Hoboken, to Mahwah, to the city and practically living in the rental car we had, while waiting for our house closing to finalize. We did finally close during the last week of that month as well as finally getting a car 2 weeks later. And yes Mr. Sykes we did get the house that I was emotionally attatched to!! Although it was very difficult to get and the previous owners were the main problem. They moved to Mexico City and everything that needed to be done through them went very slowly and took up a lot of time only to find out after everything that the owners were under water by quite a bit of money which was why they were being so difficult with everything. The house also showed what kind of owners they were because it was not taken care of at all... we still have a lot of work to do on it! So I've been living and am still living in a pretty empty house (our container from the boat still has not arrived) on a very neighbourhood-like street down the road from the community pool and the town, where everyone is super friendly. It is such a breath of fresh air to live in a place where people are so happy and genuinely interested in getting to know you (quite different from Bermuda)! I do sometimes miss Bermuda but am not sure if I'll ever go back...I know for sure that my mom won't and my dad has to for business, but I feel as though I will have to eventually as it was such a big and significant part of my life. One thing I do really miss about it is not taking the oppurtunity to go to the beach there when I had the chance... haha! And now that I am in Jersey, I am trying to control myself from making fun of the Jersey Shore show and cast although it is very difficult especially considering that during running camp we dressed up like the cast for trivia night...also at running camp Quinn and Scott filled us all in on the highlights of the Kenya trip they sounded like they had a lot of fun and from looking at the pics on the blog it looked amazing! Looking at the blog I'm guessing that Mr. Sykes will be the only one to read this so "Hi Mr. Sykes! Can't wait to be back at Blair!". So wrapping things up on my post, the only thing I did this summer was move and begin getting to know the lovely Garden State of New Jersey!
