The last week has been incredibly packed with activity. Finals, apartment hunting, and preparation for my parents’ arrival, not to mention readying myself for graduation, have been the tasks at hand. Today was my first day in the real world (my last final was yesterday) and it was a successful day. Britt and I found a great place to stay (after a long and grueling search). And my entire family arrived from Kansas City.

Three of my brothers are sprauled out trying to fall to sleep in the other room, and I suppose I should follow suit and try to get some shuteye of my own. Tomorrow will be another full day.

By the way, this blog is only a few short days from its One Year Anniversary. I’m planning a “year in review.” Check out the archives and vote for the post you most enjoyed; if there seems to be consensus I’ll give the winning post a special feature paragraph in the “review.”
