Wineries, Canoes and Gardens... Oh My?

When thou hast no computer, thou cannot post!

So, a quick rundown of events the last few weeks: Moved into the new apartment, still sparsely furnished but working on it. Canoeing, wine tasting and a broken laptop. Yes, the ^@!* piece of %@!^* finally died. (A sigh of relief in some ways). So, I was forced to buy a new computer and - as anyone who knows me - if you're going to do something do it right. So, I type this from my brand new (drumroll, please) ...macbook pro! SWEET!!! To sweeten the deal, I took advantage of the new promo which gives me an 8gb ipod touch FREE. SWEET-ER!!! Since this is my first night with my new toy, I am still learning and will not be posting pics tonight. Hope everyone is doing well.

Creeper.

Please enjoy this pic that Joe slid into in "classic Joe-style" - he's between Elizabeth and me. Joe, you are awesome.:)

Graduations... CHECK.

So, the last two weeks have been an absolute whirlwind of family. Christina and Emily's graduations both went very well and I think we set a record. The whole family was together for two weekends in a row for the first time in... I don't know how long. Well done, guys. Here are a few pics of the festivities. Miss M came back to Louisville with me this weekend and we'll be moving in to our new place next Wednesday. Could we possibly be this close to resuming the life that we used to know?! So exciting.. yet unbelievable. It's been over a year since it was just M and I. We won't know what to do...

Yay!

Big plans coming up: this weekend is Christina's graduation which I am totally excited about for MANY reasons, including 1. that she's graduating!:) 2. seeing little squirt!! and 3. one of my fave people EVER, Jon (Chris' bro) is going to be there, too. I haven't seen Jon since... last spring so we are way overdue for some good conversation. And the following weekend, Emily graduates! Suddenly I feel dumb, as I am doing nothing to further my education. I am really going to have to do something about that... Lastly, I have an apartment! I'll be moving in June 3 (although "moving in" would imply that I am Actually moving items in to the apartment - sadly, I don't have much in the way of furniture so it should be interesting). However, I did find this awesome futon in the Free section on CL (amongst other equally quality items).

A quick update.

Tomorrow is Day 5 of the new job and all is going well. I'm learning tons but I really like the position. Yay! Now, if I could only find an apartment and get Miss M... life would be normal? again. Hope everyone's having a good week.
