News from Inver Grove Heights

I feel like I've been in a haze lately. Well today there really was quite a haze - a fog advisory in fact. Is it August? Reallly? I look at my calendar and I swear I'm hallucinating.

I recently moved to a new apartment and am now a resident of Inver Grove Heights, MN. It is basically West Saint Paul however, which is home of my roommate's and my favorite mexican eatery, El Taquito. If you are in the area, I would check it out. Their burritos make chipotle weak at the knees.

After the moving frenzy was over, things have been quite enjoyable in the new locale. The cats also seem to have adjusted well and they are content with the ample window sill areas. I think overall my favorite part about the new location is that I am now a whopping 7 minutes from St. Augustine (never mind the 30 min commute to campus ;-)).

So my summary of the past few months:
- Recreating when ever possible
- Wild raspberry hunting and picking
- Quartets, weddings, singing, oh my (love this)
- Riverboat cleanup
- An Alaskan Adventure with the 'Rents
- Attempting to tie up the final objective of my research
- Trying to remain involved in activities church and otherwise
- Staring at my thesis draft
- Writing my thesis when inspiration and motivation hit at the same time
- Summer Olympics

Coming up soon:
- More wedding music-ing, yay
- St. Augustine Fall Festival
- Minnesota State Fair
- Winning tickets to see Brad Paisley at the State Fair (that would be nice!)
- Posting 1000s of pictures i've been meaning to post
- Finishing graduate school
- Finding a job!
