my new home

i finally have a minute to update!
i have been waking up at 6:00 the past 3 mornings and working 10 hours each day.
yikes.
i am so happy to be here, though!
my apartment has the distinct "Capon" smell :)
it's the kind of place where you leave your windows open at night and (in my case) listen to the frogs, crickets, or the rain. (it rains a lot here)
i have about 4 deer that i see every morning in the woods across from my apartment, and i was informed that i might see a bear. so basically...i look both ways before i leave my doorway.
my apartment is an old house that used to be owned by a lady that worked here a long time ago. the downstairs used to be storage for meat, so there are bars on the windows down there. i live upstairs, and my neighbor is the son of the man who hired me :)
my favorite thing is my bathroom window - it is very deep set and opens from the side, and it makes me so happy!
an older waitress that is one of my kitchen supervisors is the same lady that waited on my family when i was young :) i was so excited when i realized she was still here.
i have only had to wait on 1 table this week and my boss tells me i've had compliments and said she thinks i've gotten more confident in the past 48 hours :) i happen to be serving one of the only 2 tables where people my age are present. it's a little intimidating, i suppose.
tomorrow i am looking forward to getting into the pool here - it is fresh spring water and is usually around 65 degrees, and will take your breath away.
my next day off is on Saturday, so i will try to make a little video of the Capon Springs grounds. it's like a different world up here..
when i got past North Carolina, there were nothing but mountains to see - it's crazy. it was kind of like God was saying "in case you were wondering if I'm amazing - it's true..." :)
i'll have more pictures to talk about on Saturday..


this is the Main House, the building that i work in


the water fountains that make me smile.
