Toronto and more...


So I have some crazy stories to tell you guys already but this blog is going to be short. Basically I just wanted to post a couple pictures of the apartment and stuff so my parents can see where I am living. I will write more when I get back on the internet which might be a while since I am never home. I work on Thanksgiving so I won't be home for the holiday but I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and be safe. Happy Thanksgiving.

First working flight

I just got back from my first flight ever as a working flight attendant on the line. I was assigned a three day trip. We started in Chicago and flew to San Francisco on Saturday, then from there we work another late night flight to Seattle. We stayed in Seattle for the night in a sweet hotel next to the airport. We even got cookies when we checked in.

I was extremely fortunate to get such great crew members for my first flight. I was with two guys for the entire trip and I couldn't have asked for two nicer peeps. They treated me like their little sister and were so laid back and cool. One of them actually took me into downtown Seattle on Sunday morning and we hung out down there until the afternoon when we had to make our way back to the airport. We had lunch and went to the Public Market which is very similar to Fisherman's Wharf in San Fran for those of you who have been. We also took the train to see the Space Needle and Fun Forest, which is a little amusement park around the monument. He's like my new favorite person and what's even better is that he is based in Chicago and lives here too. So we are going to hang out this week and he is going to show me around Chi-town as well. What a sweetheart.

After our layover in Seattle we flew back to San Francisco and then worked the red-eye flight back to our home town of Chicago. That was rough. We didn't get in until 5:00 a.m. then I had to hike back and forth through the airport to checkout and get back to my car on the other side of the world. I finally got back to the apartment around 6:30 and fell fast asleep. I love my job!!!

Chicago

So I had this huge blog typed up on my laptop but we don't have the internet hooked up in the apartment until next week. So needless to say, I won't publish all the details of the move until next week. For now I just wanted to say I miss everyone so much and living on my own in a brand new city, with a brand new job and new, basically everything, has been harder than I originally anticipated. But I am hanging in there and things are getting better and easier with each passing day. Thanks for all the love and support! Muah!
