moving day...

once again it has been a long time since i've blogged (but not as long as erika!), and life has definitely been busy in the meantime. we are rapidly approaching our move date. it seems weird to say that we're moving in 6 days, and we haven't done anything to prepare yet. i'm glad the general is footing the bill for the movers. i haven't experienced it yet, but after the move i'll let you know how great it is to watch someone else move all of our stuff out of our third floor apartment.

i've been busy with work, katy's been busy with school - what else is new? still we've found time to hang out with plenty of friends that we will miss dearly once we move to greenville. the list includes, but is not limited to: dinner at alfredo's (i should write another "places we like to eat" entry on this one), tech vs. uga baseball game, tech vs. miami baseball game and steak n' shake afterward, dinner at little szechuan, lunches at canton cooks and artuzzi's, and dinner at clay's (earlier tonight actually). can you tell we like to eat? i definitely believe good friends and good food go together. we've got two last events planned for the weekend: genki (our fave sushi joint) with wes and blakely, and olive garden for lunch with our sunday school class. we will definitely miss all of these folks, and we hope to come back to atlanta early and often.

in the midst of all this business, i'm really enjoying life. work is enjoyable, and i thankfully haven't had too many other after work responsibilities. we're looking forward to being totally out of school and going on weekend trips and having generally all around good times. God has blessed us so much in this busy transition time, and we're looking forward to a lazy summer in greenville.

to end the post, a funny new (to me) website courtesy of angela and joseph: stuffwhitepeoplelike.com. definitely funny, so check it out.

master (almost)

after many hours of research and writing, i have finally finished and presented my graduate thesis work...almost. my complete thesis title is: analysis of form errors in rings of non-uniform cross section due to workholding and machining loads (how's that for a mouthful?!?, and katy almost has it memorized!). i presented it to my committee this morning, and after a long presentation, a lot of questions, and a little deliberation by the committee, they told me they were happy to approve my thesis work. of course, their approval is dependent on me doing a little more work and making a few changes to my thesis. i expect no less from a bunch of phd's who would still like to remind me that it's their world and i'm just livin' in it.

all joking aside, they really did have some good suggestions about how to clarify some of my research and strengthen my conclusions. hopefully the work ahead won't take too long, and i can get my thesis completely behind me. i haven't posted in a while because i've been working on my thesis, and i probably won't post now for another couple weeks.

i'm still enjoying my job, and we're starting to get to crunch time re: looking for a new place to live. we've got several nice prospects in greenville, and we're definitely looking forward to the move. hopefully we'll have more on this front by the next time i post.

in other news, i ordered my season football tickets this week. i was pretty excited to order them for the first time (since i've always been a student before). i know that to some of you ladies it might feel like football season just ended, but i'm already ready for another exciting season. as espn would say, here's to football (esp. when you're no longer a student).
