Visit?

One time long ago, we'd talked about a cousin get-together in Lincoln after Mary's graduation. Just wanted to give you a heads-up that the weekends of the 10th and the 17th are bad for us because of family graduations and cousins getting confirmed. However, we'd still love to host you in late May/early June.

Now, for some belated Easter pics ...

Weekend Update

Today Madison reached the 100 inches mark for snowfall this year, the most ever recorded. Yay for us. Friday we got 7.7 inches, then a blizzard at the end of my and Julie's 6 mile run this afternoon tipped us over the edge. In other news, half-marathon-training season is upon us. I have never run 6 miles before in one setting, so I am quite pleased with myself. The big day is May 25.

Drum roll, please...

I MATCHED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO!!!

quick san diego update

we went surfing yesterday!!! then walked the beach and boardwalk. today is the zoo. thursday is possibly shopping and wine tasting. friday back to madison.

the city is incredibly clean and beautiful, though i still don't think i could live in a city. i love the modern edge on a lot of the condos/apartments here too. i took pictures of a couple.

meanwhile, good luck to mary with her match tomorrow!

Hellooooo? Anyone out there?

The blog has been a bit quiet for my liking, but I know everyone is far more studious and busy than I am right now. Random updates on my life:

Hayley and I are going to Kansas City this weekend to shop and see our lovely relatives. That means we'll have some new family photos to post soon! (We'll do our best to capture all of London's cuteness. And Erv's, hee hee.)

Last weekend, I finally convinced Andy to try Indian food. He's now a fan. Yay! Bonus: Our friend Melissa's parents ended up at the same restaurant as us & sent a bottle of wine to our table.

We're in the process of buying a car and life insurance. (The timing is coincidental, by the way.) Fun, right?

I was going to report that I'm healthy again, but I've had a bit of a relapse this week. Either I've been overdoing it or I'm catching the nasty cold that's been circulating around my office.
I'm in charge of the Anderson Easter Egg Hunt this year! You're never too old for pastel candy goodness, I say. Plus, this year we *might* have a 9-year-old "visitor" at our Easter festivities because Grandpa (allegedly) has a 45-year-old girlfriend with a young kid. If she's really his girlfriend--and not some well-meaning lady who befriends the elderly--it's beyond creepy. We choose to deny that this is going on.

What is the Wisconsin branch doing for Easter this year? Should we make batches of Jiggler eggs and think of each other?

Don't get too excited, but ...

I am totally painting my future (yet to be conceived) daughter's room like this. It's girly without being overly babyish and cutesy.

I'm sure some of you have seen this already. Cute kids. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBlgSz8sSM

Mary dear:

When do you find out the next chapter of your life? Isn't March the month when you find out where you'll be doing your residency? Good luck to you my dear!

Spooky

Prepare yourself for a profound blog.

Fact: I dusted my coffee table this weekend, and it was completely empty when I placed my radiology study materials onto it.

Fact: Radiology does not entirely thrill me, so I dozed off a little bit.

When I awoke, I discovered a partially empty Deja Blue water bottle sitting on my coffee table. However, I just bought Ice Mountain water bottles and know for sure that there should be no other brands of water bottles in my apartment, let alone mysteriously appearing on my table. Also, I noticed that my billfold was sitting on top of my schedule, when I thought it was in my backpack. So, I am left with 3 disconcerting possibilities: 1) I have ghosts; 2) I am going crazy; or 3) there was an intruder in my apartment who likes to leave H2O bottles behind.

Julie, you or the parents didn't leave it in my apartment yesterday, did you? I know, you only drink Evian.
