The first post

So, Maria (the new queen of bloggy-ness) suggested I should create a blog to keep the Michigan crew updated on my whereabouts and whatchadoings. Well, ask and ye shall receive...



And here's the update on the goings-on so far:



Steve and I moved in sometime in mid-July (if you ever decide to move to Kentucky, I highly recommend not doing it in the middle of the summer... it gets HOT and HUMID here!). We managed to get everything moved in, and now it's all unpacked and a bit cluttered.

Aahhh... home sweet home!

Since then, I'm almost done with my training for being a grad student and a TA, and Steve has found a job. Speaking of Steve, last I heard he was stuck in the Dallas airport... I sure wish he would call to let me know he made it out of Texas alright (since there's a hurricane headed that way and all...).

In the time I've been here, I've also learned some cool stuff:

1. Air conditioning rocks!
2. Louisville is not pronounced Lou-iss-ville nor Lewy-ville. It's Luah-vull.
3. The sky lift is a must-see.

4. Evidently hockey does not exist in Kentucky.
5. Chuck E. Cheese's is far cooler than Gatti-town (for skeeball fans, anyway). Gatti-town is like a Chuck E. Cheese idea, but with mostly electronic video games and gambling type games for kids. But their Gatti-ball is a poor imitation of Skee-ball.
6. University of Kentucky campus is ginormous, and if you are looking for something besides the two buildings I'm ever in, I don't have the faintest idea where it is.
7. According to my observations, no one in Lexington has good cellphone service.
8. Movie Tavern is fabulous! No longer do you have to decide whether to eat dinner before or after you go to the movies!
9. Horse farms are not like normal farms... they tend to have multimillion dollar mansions and BMWs in the drive, rather than rickety barns and Ford trucks.
10. Kentucky rocks... and it's especially going to rock when Michigan is covered with 3 feet of snow!!! Hee hee hee... =)

Well, my parents are coming for a visit and they should be here soon-ish. So I guess it is time to cut this short. 'Till next time, keep your stick on the ice!
