Welcome to New Iberia, Louisiana!

Hola my family and friends! Last week I moved to Louisiana to start a new job as a Reference Librarian. This blog is going to be how I keep in touch with everyone.


Mom, Ocho (the car), and I survived a cross-country roadtrip from Utah to Louisiana. It took 2 and a half days. The weather was great, we stayed in front of all the storms. However, on the 2nd day I woke up with Pink Eye! I couldn't show up on my first day of work with pink eye, so we had to find a Minute Clinic (Thank you Daddy!)







Once we got to Louisiana and found the apartment complex, I found out that there will be a downstairs, 2 bedroom apt. without a washer and dryer hookup available next week. It will be cheaper and easier for me, so where I am now is temporary. I don't have a lot of time, but I just wanted to post some pictures, so you can see where I'm living and working. First, I love my apartment! It's way nice and close to everything: I have a 24 hour Super Wal-Mart practically in my backyard and I'm only 5 minuntes away from church and 10 minutes away from work!

Here's a walking tour of my apartment-Enjoy!

Me in My Dining Room

I've got to run, but later I'll post pictures from work and tell you all about my first week!
Lots of Love,
Lonnie
