Fortunately/Unfortunately

We feel, sometimes, like we're living in a fortunately/unfortunately book. You know, the ones that say things like, "Fortunately, Suzy got ice cream. Unfortunately, she dropped it." Ours would be different though.

Fortunately, we got the cats through airport security. Unfortunately, one of them used my chest as a spring board to try to get away and now I have a righteous cut.
Fortunately, we didn't miss our flight. Unfortunately, it was a red-eye and neither of us got any sleep.
Fortunately, we arrived in Boston with little incident. Unfortunately, we then had to drive in Boston.
Fortunately, we were able to find our way to the interstate with little incident. Unfortunately, we discovered the toll road.
Fortunately, we had change for the toll road. Unfortunately, we then arrived in New Hampshire and had to pay another toll.
Fortunately, we acclimated to New Hampshire. Unfortunately, New Hampshire lasted about ten minutes.
Fortunately, we had several leads on apartments. Unfortunately, some of these places seemed to be approaching crack den level skeezy.
Fortunately, we found an amazing house with beach front property. Unfortunately, there was no way that we could afford it.
Fortunately, we found an awesome townhouse up for rent. Unfortunately, it wasn't available until July 16th.

And so on. We're doing ok now, as we've got an apartment and have a car. However, it sure took a while to get here. And now, one of the cats is hiding under the floor somewhere. No, we don't know why. No, we can't get her to come out.

You know, as long as I've lived on the East coast, I've never been to Maine. I've heard it's beautiful though. What a great place to start med school!

I'm pretty excited about it, I must say. It is beautiful, though hot.
