planning!

That's right, the next month will be FILLED with my favorite activity--planning.  What are we planning for? We are planning for our move to...
VIRGINIA!

Sometime at the end of June, we will be making the trek from Illinois to Virginia to settle down a little more permanently.  We are SO excited for this move.  I am mostly excited because I am going to finally be able to look for a permanent, real-life, adult J-O-B! Ryan is excited because he likes new adventures.   We will be moving to Richmond/Williamsburg area and we are looking for a house that is not in the middle of the city.  We have had enough time surrounded by people and we are ready to kick back and relax--as opposed to being in a hurry everytime we go anywhere.

I am still trying to finish my thesis (I KNOW, it is taking forever!)  Other than that, we have a little list of things to check out before we leave Chicagoland.  We have one more trip home to Michigan planned for my sister's graduation, otherwise we will be enjoying some sights of Illinois before we leave.

On another note...my momma came to visit this weekend! It was so so so much fun.  We did not do a whole lot and I had to work some, but it was nice to have someone familiar here to see all the things I talk about.  We also had a friend from college, Megan, and her mom visit this weekend.  It was a busy weekend, but a lovely one at that!

More to come on all these changes....!
