It has only been a few days since our last blog update, but it feels as if it has been WEEKS! We are now only 15 days until my thesis defense and the start of our move to Texas. Tomorrow marks the last full work week for Dan. Both of which seem to be coming way too soon.
Friday, Tom and Diane visited us in Duluth for dinner and to pick up our couch we have been borrowing from them for the past 2 years. With the abudant space now available in the living room, we are finally feeling the urge to start packing. But don't worry, we will still put it off for a few more days ;) Dan was elated to immediately visit Target to purchase his Wii Sports Resort game; a birthday present from his parents. He read the entire game manual at the laundromat today. I've never seen a person so entralled over minute details on how to disassemble and reassemble a Wii motion plus remote. I can only imagine what he must have been like at Christmas time when he was 8 years old. It was wonderful to see you again, Connors family!
Alicia, Mom and Getey also visited us this weekend -- for a feast of pulled pork sammies and.. overcooked beans. The maiden voyage of our new, beautiful stoneware bean pot veered a little from planned. Of course, 10 hours in the stove at 250 degrees would probably kill just about anything.. We had a fantastic evening of cards, pie, more cards, dice.. and more pie for breakfast in the morning. Getey never should have told me her theory on pie for breakfast -- it's really just fruit and a pastry, and therefore a perfectly good breakfast option! Goodbye waiste line, hello more pie!
It was such a treat to be able to see both sets of family in one busy busy weekend.
We are trying to plan out our last few days in Minnesota - making sure we get to spend time and say goodbye to as many people as possible. If you would like to hear my formal presentation on the scientific work I have been doing during the past two years while I turn bright red and sweat profusely -- please come to my Master's thesis seminar on August 10th (just ask me for the details). I'd love to see you there! Until then, its back to the books for me!
