Dear KARM,

Alexa gave me the idea to write a blog so you girls know what I’m up to, and seeing that I already have one, I figured that would be a good idea. I’ll just update you on how Rhode Island is, and what all I’ve done. I just miss you girls so much, by the way! Haha.

The People: There is a TON of Dominican people here, and they are actually really rude. It’s funny because they are super loud. I work with a bunch of Dominicans and they are yelling ALL day, and they are always asking me why I have no energy. “Uhhh, I have energy. You just yell about everything.” Also, their Spanish is SO different. It’s horrible.

The Environment: Obviously it’s still the USA, so it’s not much different. Except that it’s like SO beautiful. There are trees EVERYWHERE. It’s SO green, and where Matthew lives the ocean is SO close. It literally is like right outside of his barracks. The town where Matthew lives is called Newport, and it’s a really cute ocean town where everything closes at like 8 o’clock and there are adorable shops and delicious restaurants. It’s just a cool place to be.

Being With Matthew: I have always been the one in KARM who reads the least, but it feels like since December I was reading the book, and now I’m watching the movie. Haha. Every weekend he would go to IHOP with one of his shipmates, and we went there this weekend, and I felt like it was famous. It’s just so cool to explore and go out together. I do get nervous about when we go back to long distance because it’s going to be really hard to go from being together every day to every couple months. I was freaking out about it for a while, but I decided to just live in the moment, and not worry about that because it won’t change anything. I am falling pretty hard for him though. J

Well, I will continue to keep you updated. I love you girls so much, and miss you even more. J

XOXO
