Greetings from College Park!

Hello! So far I am upholding my promise of updating more often (which, given how often I updated before, shouldn't be too hard). Janet and I just moved in to our new apartment yesterday... it went very smoothly. The apartment is larger and smaller than I thought it would be. Our kitchen, bathrooms and closets are all bigger than we had thought, and our living area is smaller. But everything looks great! Janet and I each have our own bathroom and walk-in closet (which is HUGE). I will have pictures up later when we get our decorations up and such. My room is right by the door, so my window has reinforced glass so no one can break though easily. woo! That's always good to have. Janet is living in Columbia for the next 2 days because she has to finish her last week and work, so I have the place to myself for the next couple of days. She'll move in for real on Friday night.

Speaking of Friday night, that's the night that Rachel, Karina and I are going to the OAR concert and Merriweather Post Pavillion. We saw the band perform last year, and they were pretty awesome, so we're going to go see them again this year. Just about everyone that I work with is going as well, so there is going to be some great company.

Karina and I got back last week from a week-long nannying trip in upstate New York. We went with a family that we've babysat before on vacation with 4 other families. They all met in Med School and have been going to the same place on vacation for 10 years now. There was a total of 10 kids, most of which were under that age of 4. Needless to say, it was tough work. But it was also a lot of fun, the kids were so cute! Plus, it paid for books this semester!

The Thursday night that we got back from NY, Karina and I met up with some friends and went to the DC United soccer game vs. LA Galaxy, Beckham's new team. Beckham made his Major League Soccer Debut in the game, playing 20 minutes! He even took off his shirt... twice ;) Yum! Oh yea, and DC United won, 1-0!

I think that's about it for right now...I've got to get ready to go to work. Later!
