The Next Adventure

Well, I just got back from my very first trip to our nation's capitol. And it's decided. I'm moving there for grad school. As scary as it is to admit that change is in fact going to occur, I did manage to mail in my acceptance at George WA University and my non-refundable deposit.....so I guess that's it! It's going to happen! It's a strange place to be in now though - wading through all the details the next few months will bring up, trying to enjoy the remainder of my time in Seattle while still being excited to move, balancing the anticipation of the future with the sadness at leaving the present. Sigh. I haven't figured out the emotions yet. They are fighting. But I think it is the best place for me right now!

Consider this:

What if you could candy coat your tongue? #1 You could have built in candy (as long as you refrain from biting your tongue) #2 Everyone would want to kiss you all the time

The point of all this - I would like to kiss someone with a candy coated tongue.

Two pieces of great news!

1. Thanks to some guys from church who like to fix cars (who call themselves "Auto Angels"-how cute), I will soon have a new engine for my poor little Focus and some lovely mechanics to put it in for me, for the low low price of $2000! Instead of the $4800 I was originally quoted by the dealership! Yay Auto Angels!!!

2. I managed to convince my boss that the firm should send me to work in our DC office for the week right before the Museum Studies Open House at George WA U. I feel so sneaky! So instead of being there for a weekend, I get to go for a whole week, and pay less money out of my own pocket! Suh-weeeeeeet!!!

My car

needs a new engine. I'm considering investing in some draft horses and a wagon instead.

My apartment complex is famous!.....?

Apparently Barack Obama's mama grew up on Mercer Island and lived in my very own Shorewood Heights apartment complex. Check out this article if you want more info. :) Kind of random!
