Woo! We have finally settled our housing for next year! Our original plan to live in the South Campus Commons was foiled last night when we received and e-mail saying they were all full. So instead, we decided to lease an off-campus apartment which is actually less expensive and a little bit bigger I think. We'll be living at the Courtyards, which is conveniently close to both work and my classes. With this apartment complex rent includes all utilities, washer/drier, cable tv, ac, 2 seperate beds with their own bathrooms, an on-site pool, game room and fitness center. Here's our layout! Oh, and guess who are neighbors are? None other than Chris and Brian! The foursome are now only one wall apart! We've decided that we're going to do a once-a-week dinner thing we're we make a nice dinner and eat it together. It's crazy how grown-up I feel! Ha! I wrote a check for a security deposit today and signed a lease, it's crazy! We're all very excited and want to move in as soon as we can, which turns out, is around August 15. Janet and I have already started thinking about how we want to decorate our place!
In other stuff, I've organized a team for Relay for Life at UMD, on April 14, I think it is. So far, I've got about 8 people from work who are going to come and hopefully raise money. I'm looking forward to it, it'll be a lot of fun!
I still haven't heard back about the Emma Powers Award, but hopefully I should hear soon. I'll let you guys know if I hear anything!
That's about it, school, work and this housing thing has been pretty much dominating my life right now, but it's all very exciting!

Hey Love Bug - the apartment sounds very fun!! If you are ever at a loss for what to serve for "family" dinner night, I'm sure Grandma and I can help add to your recipe repetoire (in addition to whatever good stuff your mom, other aunts and grandma suggest....and maybe your dad too...hmm). It is spring here - cold one day, nice the next, lots of stuff blooming. Skyla is a very itchy dog - I'm actually taking her to a dog allergist next week. I didn't think I would be such a geek about my dog, but I am.
Have a great day and remember who loves you!!
