We are on day 3 of unemployment and I have to admit...I'm starting to get used to this being home thing. My days seem to fill up quickly - so much that I honestly don't know how I used to fit work in! :) But seriously, I am trying to live it up while I can because it will all be over soon enough.
The job hunt continues and so far so good. While I really wish and hope to be back with my friends at TIA, I need to be realistic and find something down here in DC. I have a few interviews lined up and I have lots of people down here who are looking out for me. I'm lucky enough to have the advantage of being picky and find a job that I will really enjoy doing. My Nimble Fitness boys are keeping me busy with some design work (thanks guys!!) and I'm exploring an opportunity in wedding planning which really gets me excited. I had such a blast planning our wedding that I'm thinking it could be a good thing to explore as a job. Who knows...the possibilities are ENDLESS!!
Ed and I are heading back to NYC on Friday night for some more packing over the weekend. It is Mommy's Day on Sunday so we are going to spend some time with his Mom and my Grandmother on Saturday and then my Mom on Sunday. What is really great is that Suzy Q. will be in VA for a week or so starting this Friday so I'm really psyched about spending some time with her.
Next project on my docket - Honeymoon scrapbook. The pictures are uploaded here for your viewing pleasure!!

Goodbye New York ~ Hello DC!
So in an effort to stay busy during my unemployment (I need a job - help!), I decided to continue with the "Being Mangiaracina" blog post-honeymoon to keep all you lovely people informed of our life as newlyweds. It's amazing...in the course of 1 month I went from being a fiance to a wife to a newlywed and obtained a new last name more ridiculous than my own!
As you all know, we had an amazing time in Mexico, but now we are on a new journey and that journey is called the "Move to Northern Virginia - Get Laura a job - Buy a house" journey. We are currently in the process of part 1: Move to Northern Virginia. We spent much of this weekend packing our apartment up and yesterday we hauled it down to good old Fairfax, VA. I have to say, we are very lucky that my parents are so welcoming because we have dumped a LOT of crap in their house already - and it's only the first trip! We head back up to NY this weekend for more packing and more hauling and then on May 15th it's UHaul-time.
We are gonna bunk up at good old 4510 Overcup Court for a bit A. because I don't have a job yet and B. because we have made a decision to actually look into buying a residence rather than renting one. The accomodations are wonderful although I could do without all wall photos reminding me of my many fashion mistakes in high school! Lucy is pleased - not only does she have a huge yard to run around in, but she has Grandpa around to feed her all the table scraps she wants! :)
So far Being Mangiaracina has been pretty darn good. :)
