The talk about reduction in flying in Chicago was true and in April I chose to be relocated to the Washington D.C. Area before being moved later in the year by base closure. I again found a nice place in suburbian Alexandria, VA and was based at Washington Dulles International Airport. Its about a 22 miles drive, but I am cool with that as I am close to DC and can go into the city on a moment's notice when I want.

I was lucky enough to find a landlord who is rarely home and lives in a highrise building. I love where I live and moved in there on May 1. Its been a whirlwind summer with me only getting to even hit a pool once this summer and nothing really special happening. I have dated a few nice guys and I guess I run them off, cause nothing seems to be sticking so far. (Heh Heh)

I figure when its time for me to find someone, he will find me, or just kinda happen to me. I plan to start going out more when I can.

I went to Denver for the first time at the end of August/First of September to visit a fellow Flight Attendant and got a chance to see my cousin whom I haven't seen in years. Damn she looks good..If I were straight.......(yeah yeah yeah,,,I know..aint gonna happen)

At the beginning of September, my landlord told me he had sold the condo and we had to be out at the end of September as per the closing agreement. He agreed to rent me the bedroom in the 1br condo he had taken upstairs for a month until I could make other arrangements.

At the end of October I knew I had to make a choice so I made a tough one. I decided to become a commuter and return to my favorite place to live, Florida. I stayed with a friend there for a couple weeks until I found a place in Oakland Park, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale. I now pay the same amount for a one bedroom here in the Lauderdale area that I paid for a single bedroom in Virginia. (And its warm in December here.)
