Three Rivers, MI

On Saturday, Neill and I took a semi-impromptu trip to meet up with his brothers, Jayson and Jared. They live in Toledo, OH and so we decided to meet half way between us and them. Three Rivers, MI here we come! As it turns out, Three Rivers was actually only about 20 or so minutes away from Kalamazoo, which would have probably been a much more interesting town to stop in, but we managed to have a good time anyhoo.

more of the same

nothing to blog because I've been doing the same thing every day....packing.

Yesterday, Neill and James lugged two HUGE and HEAVY bookcases from my mom's house to our place. Soon to follow will be boxes of books and then a dresser.

If anyone is looking for any sort of furniture, books, or childhood relics of mine (uh creepy) please feel free to let me know. The Ark is scheduled to do a mass pick up some time next week, but it is all free for the taking before that.

This weekend, we may decide to take a last minute trip to Toledo to chill with the family. But, the Division Street festival is scheduled and I sorta really wanted to check that out. So we will see.

and more and more and more stuff

lots and lots and lots and lots of more packing going on at my mom's house. packing sucks. it makes me never, ever want to move.

On the other hand, seeing how much room my mom had for all of her stuff . . . I am itching to move into a house. A real house. Not an apartment or a condo or a duplex or whatever. A house with a front and back yard. And two floors. and a basement. A home that we can settle into and not have to worry about moving for years and year and years.

don't get me wrong - i love our condo. And I think we do a very nice job of making it a home. But, I feel like a move is inevitable. At some point, maybe 5 years from now, we will move. And knowing this makes it hard to really put deep roots down. At least, not like I could in a house that has enough room for us and our futures babies.

ahh babies

On a completely (and perhaps opposing) note, I found out what classes I am going to take in the fall! The program is pretty set, so I don't really get to choose my classes until later on. This fall I will be taking:

Psych 412, Sect 001, Class #2248, Hours = 1.5, Intro to the Profession of Clinical Psychology

Psych 432, Sect 001, Class #2264, Hours = 3, Intellectual/Personality Assessment

Psych 446, Sect 001, Class #2276, Hours = 3, Psychopathology

Psych 480, Sect 001, Class #2300, Hours = 3, Advanced Statistics I

Life is feeling very real.
