after weeks of wallowing in semi-stressful boredom and painfully oppressive routine, it suddenly feels like we're hitting the ground running with tons and tons of fun things to do and think about.
past:
steve spent a couple days in pittsburgh for an orientation conference. though he didn't need much orienting since he's been working for some time now, he did find out a lot more information about the future of his job. we are definitely looking forward to all the things to come!
present:
right now the big move is occupying most of our thought-space. today is the day we are moving me and bert into steve's for our temporary housing situation. pros: walk to work, amusing cat exploring new spaces... cons: walk to work in bad weather, filth. mainly we just can't wait to get moved out of steve's and into OUR place. note to self: go look at paint swatches.
near future:
the reality of my trip to san diego didn't really hit me when i booked the ticket, but now i am super super super excited to get on the plane and go! can't wait to see my sister, play at the ocean, and let my parents spoil me rotten with brunch at the
hotel del coronado! thanks parents! nom nom nom.
additionally, steve has a trip down to texas coming up for work (can i come stevedore? texas is one of the very few states i have not visited yet), and we just got our invitations in the mail for our lovely friends' wedding down in virginia!
oh and now that it's august, that means students are back in less than a month. as an official townie these days (ugh what a horrific thing to identify as), i have a love-hate relationship with the masses of students, but on the whole i think their presence improves ann arbor immensely. it also means my very own personal girl with a dragon tattoo, cha, will be back in les etats unis and we can finally have a raucous girl's night out. hoorah!
happy thursday y'all!
