I'm back!

It's been a rough couple of weeks, but I no longer have the flu, we're moved into our new apartment, and mostly settled in. The move went well. We didn't have lots of stuff, but we rented a van for the day so we wouldn't have to make 100 bus trips across town. The new place is great. Ultra modern, with abstract expressionist prints on the wall (which I could do without), but everything is in great shape, and easy to clean. We're a 5 minute walk to John's lab, and I'm 5 minutes from Olivia's house. I started watching her again this week.

I can't wait to show you photos of the new place, from the outside. It looks exactly like RIT. (We did not chose the apartment for this reason.) Red brick everywhere, very modern buildings . . . it's a bit creepy, to be honest. I keep leaving in the morning with the strange feeling I'm on my way to meet Nate for breakfast.

We got word a week ago that John's grandfather was quite sick, and made a frantic attempt to get home fro Christmas. We found an incredible deal on Air Gorilla (not, that's not 'guerrilla') that was impossible to turn down. We'll land in Syracuse on December 21st and fly out again on the 28th. It only leaves a few days with each family, but John didn't want to take any time off.

Hope all is well. I'm sure you're all in the midst of Christmas Frenzy. Type to you all soon!
