finally!!!

After 3 months of chasing paper here and there and everywhere, we FINALLY got final approval for the new apartment. HALLELUJAH!!! We will be moving on Friday July 20, and I'll send an email out with the new address at that time. We'll likely get a new land line phone so we can continue to have DSL internet - it works best for my class and costs the same as cable internet (plus we're not always tempted to watch TV with no cable). That will be a new number because we're changing area codes because of moving to the Maryland side of the line. But our cell phones will stay the same. This news isn't nearly as awesome as Jared's moving news into HIS OWN HOUSE ... but it's all we've got at the moment. And we're finally moving into a 2-bedroom apartment. It's about 5 miles from where we are now - the same complex where half of our play group already lives, so that will make things even easier for play group.

Thank you for the anniversary greetings ... I must admit that it's been a rough week with all the stress of the apartment stuff, and Summer hasn't been feeling too well this week. Tuesday night, we both bagged our studying and walked to a little barbecue restaurant out on Wisconsin Ave. Then we got ice cream and took Summer to a park right across the street to play on the swings for a little while. We'll go to the temple next week for an actual anniversary date. And now that we have the apartment stuff finalized, that takes a huge stress load off. Now we have a different stress load with moving ... but at least the decision making part is over and that's the worst of it.
