Creation of El Bloggo

WELCOME to Julia & Jess's official Appalachian Trail Blog (woohoo blogging, I feel so contemporary). This will be the only log (or is blog the correct term at this point?) for a while since we haven't written up the itinerary yet, so this is just for all you people that I've already told about this so you know this is fo' rizzle;)

Jess and I are doing well. He is working at the Draft Zone, a bar/pizza place, so I'm sure you all know he's loving it. I'm working at a hoity toity french restaurant called Au Petit Paris and a bar restaurant that wishes it was as hoity toity as Au Petit called the Hanger (as in airplanes, not as in death and mayhem unfortunately). I'm also looking into getting some overnight shifts with Friends Aware, which works with mentally handicapped people. They run programs to improve basic skills (they do puzzles w/ them for reasoning skills, help them w/ job applications, etc.), but, as an overnight person, I'd probably be caring for the people who are incapable of taking care of themselves and are living at the houses. Hopefully 3 jobs will be enough to fund this little adventure of ours lol. In the meantime, Frostburg isn't the most exciting place in the world, so we just keep repeating the mantra "2 more months, 2 more months, ye gads, 2 more months".

Anywho, as soon as we plot out our itinerary we'll get it posted. Peace:)
