It's kind of funny, I've become friends with a lot of people on the east coast even before I moved out here, and now it is really easy to meet face to face with a lot of you. That is definitely something else that tells me I have chosen the right opportunity. I had a bit of friends already developed out here without even living here. Thanks for the comment, I am looking forward to meeting you as well! @Rich – I definitely had a good time with Sam.

I'm looking forward to us meeting sometime soon, either in Baltimore or Philly! You made the right decision and I'm glad you chose this opportunity. It's going to be a great year for you, and welcome to the east coast! Hey Ben – sounds like you and Sam had a great time!

We will definitely have to meet up, especially since we both live in the same city! Although I am used to the winter, it definitely is harder to get used to an area when cold outside. I am looking forward to seeing how the city changes when it starts to get warm. It sounds like we have a similar story having moved from a completely different area to start new in Baltimore. It's great that you were able to meet people here who make it feel like home. It doesn't feel quite like home yet, but every day I get a little bit closer to that feeling with the help of my new friends here on the east coast. Things have been great so far, which makes me very excited at what the future might bring! 2010 should be a great year. :) @Chelia – Thanks for the kind words.

I had a great time in NYC, as can be seen from this post. Moving to a new area is definitely an intimidating thing, but I seem to be able to pull myself out of my comfort zone daily, immersing myself in everything Baltimore.

I know how you feel though. I felt the same way when I move here, in Baltimore. I knew no one. Came winter, I wanted to go back to P.R where it was warm, where "home" was. But as soon as I met my puertorrican friend/sister/supervisor, I felt back home. She made it feel that way. I also had a feeling of calm. Ahh, doesn't it feel nice and warm inside? I give kuddos to you. The boldness you have/had to move out of your comfort zone, make a change, through youself out there. Plus, being so certain about it all, knowing you were un-employed. I admire you more and more each day. I can't wait to meet you! Maybe one day, we could both take a trip so I can meet Sam. She sounds so awesome by what you've told me and others. Refreshing post. :) PS. You're still a dork ;-) Just the thought of living in a place/city away from what you’re use to and from you family sounds pretty scary. I know how you feel though.

Seriously though, thank you all for your kind words! Ben, it was totally awesome to meet you too, and I'm glad you had such a fun, fulfilling first trip to NYC. Moving is always difficult to a certain degree, and being in a new place where you don't know anyone is pretty intimidating at first. But, you also have the opportunity for a fresh start, and it seems like you're making the most out of your new life in Baltimore. So, kudos to you :) Geez guys, you’re making me blush!!
