After a week on the road and ten days tending house, my time as an unemployed individual is running low. I start my post-doc on Wednesday at the Univ. of Colorado at Boulder - I'm hoping that it'll be a nice change of pace from the busy-ness of UT. The counseling center at Boulder is much smaller and they reportedly intake 25-30 people in a busy week (compared to the 100+ during normal weeks at UT!). I'm also looking forward to an office with a window :)
My time at home has been filled with domestic duties - doing the grocery shopping, organizing the garage, mopping the floor - I think it's been good for both of us to have me here. Carrie's been able to go to work and know that things will get done here by the time she's home, and I'm getting some independent time to do something I love and work with my hands. It's a win-win.
Wedding planning continues too! We're slowly but surely circling around a date and trying to line up the venue and other important aspects. More coming soon for sure, if all goes according to plan!
Other news...we celebrated Emilie's birthday (which she shares with her older brother) this weekend with a barbecue at her and Doug's house and some Rio margaritas the next day. The occasion afforded us the opportunity to meet a few more members of her massive family - this time it was her parents, older brother and sister-in-law, and their little boy. Each new person just confirmed the fact that Emilie has the most inconsiderate family I've ever met. Just kidding - they're all incredibly sweet and kind and giving, and it was great to meet even more of them! Plus her mom, Debbie, brought an amazing caramel toffee coffee cake.
Think that's all for now - we'd love to post some pictures to spice this entry up a little but our camera's been getting repaired via Best Buy for the past week. We're hoping that it'll be back to us within the next couple of days - keep your fingers crossed :)

okay domestic diva, why don't you throw on your WS red gingham apron & whip us up one of those delicious coffee toffee caramel cakes you speak of???
First of all, my apron is crushed blue velvet - red gingham is sooo 2004. Secondly, I specialize in salsa, which I'd be happy to whip up for you as soon as you invite us to a barbecue :)
