Of my joining the FOX 29 news team! That's on Saturday, January 19. I can't believe I've been here a year already. One year ago this week, I was living out of a suitcase in my newly rented apartment, sleeping on a borrowed mattress - my only furniture. I remember that it was REALLY cold and the heat wasn't reaching my bedroom so I would sleep with my winter coats on top of me through the night. I had just arrived from Orlando Florida and it was a shock to my system.  

Needless to say, I've settled in, everyone.

1 year doesn't mean much I guess but it feels like it zipped by. I remember when I got here, homicides were happening at a rate of 1.5 a day. I got here and I was like, wow, I never had to do so much crime/death/murder. It was hard to get used to. 

I covered my first snow storm (always a dream to a reporter coming from Florida hurricanes), I found my favorite coffee spot, Cafe Ole!!, my dog figured out that it's ok to pee on the sidewalk, I found my favorite boutiques - Charlie's Jeans, Three Sirens, Lost and Found, I found a place to pursue my black and white film photograpy and I made some friends. Oh yeah! I learned how to "blog."

 Not bad in a year's time. Anyway for those who continue to tune in and say hello on the street or cyberspace, thanks for the encouragement and support. As Frank said, It was a very good year.

Is it weird if I think the S. Philly accent is really cute? I heard a lot of it at the Mummers parade. Whenever I hear a guy say yous. I go crazy!

Happy Anniversary Julie !

The 19th is my cousin's birthday.

I didn't know it was ok to pee on the sidewalk.

I thought I had to find a hedge to stand behind.

Hey guys,

Thanks for making me feel so welcome and so good about being here.

Rachel, I'm not leaving! Haven't seen all the sights yet. I really have to get over to that big old bell. I work like 3 blocks away and haven't done it yet.

Charlie likes to pee on cobblestone for some reason. Grass is second.

Oh, jeep, you get WWZ yet?

Happy Anniversary Jules.

My workplace isn't made of cobblestones, but Charlie is welcome to pee on the place as much as he likes, anytime he wants to.

Jules, If you promise to cover the story, I'll make a stink across from my job in Plymouth Meeting. Bring Charlie along, I could use a change in the atmosphere outside of this place. LOL.
