I'm still here!!

So, the summer has been pretty great thus far. Busy, but great. My birthday was tons of fun. Michael really out did himself with all the surprises and fun times. It was a wonderful 30th birthday. We had a great time showing my cousin around dallas and austin. It was so great to see her and be able to spend some time with her. We also got to see my aunt for a few days and both my aunt and cousin were here to help michael and i and my parents celebrate our anniversaries. We had a great time all around.

Well, today is Michael's last day for the summer session. He found an apartment in Alexandria and will be moving on August 18. He has a few weeks to get himself packed and ready to go and hopefully also spend some time relaxing. I have my last class for the summer next week and then I have a few days off before I need to start really studying for my qualifying exam, which is on August 17. Please send good thoughts my way between 1-5 on August 17. This is the exam that I have to pass in order to continue on in the PhD program. Big stuff. It comes at a very inopportune time as the week before Michael moves, i will have to be studying, but that is life, so we will make it work. I plan to go visit Michael the weekend after he moves down to Alexandria to help him get all set up there.

There really isn't much more going on with us right now. Just getting ready for the qualifying exam and the big move. Wish us luck on both accounts. :)
