Greenville, NC Welcomes the Pisano Family!

Once again, my family has moved!  One of my friends at school asked me if I was an "Army Brat" because of how much my family moves.  I politely said no and explained to them my parents are now empty nesters and are just trying to find the right tree to keep their nest at! So, next stop....Greenville, NC. The home of Eastern Carolina University (ECU) the #4 party school in the nation. They have a pretty good reputation!

My parents have been here since the end of January and because of school and volleyball and such my first time visiting was this past week. While my drive up here was anything but enjoyable (traffic jams to the maxxxx!) I was pleasently surprised with our house and our cute little neighborhood! Much different than the retirement community we used to live in Anderson when the average age was at least 55, our new neighborhood is very nice and there's actually kids who play outside! It reminds me a lot of Lawrence Park (the best neighborhood on the planet!). Below are a few pictures of our house. Bear with us...we're still furnishing!

Winter Blues

I am going to begin this blog by saying how very bad I feel for my fellow Erie-ites. I see the weather forcast there daily and I must say I'm not missing the snow! My best advice i can give, MOVE SOUTH! :)

We all know the months of Janurary and February are the longest months ever! The final months of winter and the long stretch during school with no breaks.  It's torture. I have been especially feeling these tortuous times the past few weeks with school. Being that my teachers are oh so nice, they of course are on the same testing schedule...wonderful!  Besides living in the library and having study sessions with multiple different people trying to combine our knowledge and squeak out a decent grade, my volleyball team has finally started practice for our spring season! YAYYYY!! Something to keep my mind off studying! Let me tell you, those two short hours on the court are a little slice of heaven; nothing else matters except for the 30x30 and the 16 girls surrounding me. It's perfection!

While school has been anything but enjoyable I must give a shout-out to the North Carolina weather. YOU ROCK!  Last week we were experiencing 75-80 degree weather, this week we have 60-70 degree weather. And the sun, something i'm not used to seeing being from Erie, is fabulous. How can you stress when it's so beautiful outside, right?

I am experiencing a little feeling of releif being that I have taken my three tests this week and I only have one homework assignment left to complete until it is officially spring break!  The week I have been looking forward to since, ummmm...christmas break?  Almost halfway through college! Scary, but so very exciting. Sometimes it's hard for me to remember that I am almost 20 years old and an adult?? whatttttttt? not possible! I'm sure my perfect mother is thinking the same thing! Her little baby is growing up :)

Spring is almost here! Hang in there everyone! :)
Here's some cheesy inspiration to get you through the week.
