When I first started blogging, I had every intention of stopping once we came home form Peru because I thought life would be pretty boring after that. As it turns out, our lives over the past few months have been filled with so much mystery, intrigue and adventure that with the motivation of a couple requests I've decided to post again.
I couldn't possibly recap everything that's happened since Peru in a way that would do it justice, so we'll start with a short timeline and you'll have to fill in the blanks with your vivid imaginatons.
May-August we:
- Came home from Peru.
- visited my family in Canada.
- Accepted a spot at University of Chicago Law school.
- Shortly thereafter changed our minds and accepted a spot at Harvard Law School.
- Moved ourselves and a couple of suitcases to Virginia (to stay with Jeff's parents).
- Attended my brother Derek's wedding in Utah.
- Moved all of our belongings to Boston and set up our apartment.
- Moved ourselves (minus belongings) back to Virginia to finish the summer.
- Changed our minds once again and accepted a spot at Stanford Law School.
- Moved our belongings from Boston to Palo Alto.
- Were really stressed out!
August-now we:
- Were homeless, so we crashed at my wonderful aunt and uncle's place in Walnut Creek.
- Started school (Jeff was commuting 1 1/2 -2 hours each way!)
- Found an apartment and moved in. Unfortunately our belongings didn't move in until a couple weeks later.
- Got cable TV- a very momentus occasion as I was home along all day without any furniture except a TV.
- Reunited with our furniture.
- Looked for a job.
- Looked for a job.
- Looked for a job.

- Successfully made it through finals week.
- Went home for Christmas.
- Came back.
- Applied to move on campus. (That will be our 8th move in 3 1/2 years).
As I reflect on the past few months, I often wonder... AM I TOTALLY INSANE?! I think so.
But throughout it all we've had some great times and made some great friends. I've posted a couple pictures of fun things we've done, and will update our web album with more complete sets of pictures.
