Exciting things have happened!

First. . .*drumroll*  Andrew got into the U of U's Philosophy graduate program! Somehow all of the applications he sent off to grad schools ended up getting messed up one way or another (misentered names and addresses, professors not sending their recommendation letters to all of the schools, etc). But after wading through the confusion, the U has offered one of their Masters program slots to Andrew and he will be starting up there in the fall. This is particularly exciting because one of the professors there specializes in Ancient Philosophy, which is what Andrew would like to focus on right now.

Second, we are officially moving! Not out of state, of course, but we are leaving our endearing-but-too-expensive apartment in Sugarhouse and moving into a nice one bedroom duplex a few blocks away. It has a little shared backyard, is two blocks from the TRAX station that runs right up to the U and is a 2 minute bike ride away from the Aviary. It is still within our trend of vintage-y places and should work out really well for us. Pictures pending :)

Other than that, Andrew got a raise at work, my job is currently incredibly hectic and wedding planning marches on to the beat of its own drummer. It's shaping up to be everything we've been hoping-- heartfelt and a damn good time. Sue and Will, Andrew's parents, came into town to meet up with my parents this weekend and we had several awesome meals and covered a lot of ground in terms of wedding logistics. I feel a lot better about everything now that the 6 of us have hashed out details that have been stressing me out up until now. And even though I actually worked Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it has been a really, really awesome weekend.
