Grad school!
We had our first day of orientation today. Ok, so it was 30 mins of dounts and 30 mins of my department kind of welcoming us. Then we had a mad scramble running to our advisers (though mine is currently in Egypt, so I had to go to another lady). I'm all signed up on paper for ( Read more... ) -
Seriously?
So by now, you've all heard the drama that is my life. And I bet you thought you were done listening to the crazy shit that keeps coming my way this summer. Oh no. I just keeps coming...

At the risk of sounding like I'm on drugs...
Walking home from work this morning, I noticed the trees. Some of them have seen generations. Anyone else think it's interesting how, for many of the trees in Hyde Park, there is no living person who saw their planting/initial seed growth? For all of us, the trees have simply always been. We notice their shade, their leaves in the fall, and ( Read more... ) -

I haven't posted in a while, so I might as well. Dan came down last Friday (got in about 7:30pm). I made Kate's homemade pizza, which was great, but I need to not buy the super cheap cheese- it's gross. Saturday we went to IKEA with some friends and I bought a couch, a kitchen island, rug, throw pillows, etc for the new apartment. We moved it ( Read more... ) -

Haha- my friend Julie showed me a site to make babies. From pictures. Dan and I would have a very cute...girl...boy...baby. Though our child is apparently a pirate. Takes after his father.

These pictures aren't great because the lighting and size of the apartment doesn't allow for great photos, but here they are: a fully completed (aside from a few pictures on the walls and me cleaning my desk off) condo, which shall be my place of residence for at least the next year. Apologies for any pictures that are similar to ones already ( Read more... ) -
July 4th in the Dells
I just got back from a FANTASTIC weekend with Dan and his family in the Wisconsin Dells. We went swimming at the water parks and almost died. There's a 650 lbs weight-limit on one of the rides, but the 4 of us that wanted to go weighed about 730 lbs total. For everyone before us, the group was forced to get on a scale to make sure they were ( Read more... ) -
Memorial Day
Dan and I just got back from my parents' place (it's so weird not to say "my place" any more!) in MO after my brother's graduation and our typical Sunday Memorial Day party. It was SO much fun! My aunt and cousin drove up from TX and we had friends and family from IA, as well. Tons of food was eaten, cases of beer were consumed, several of us ( Read more... )
