Packing, packing, packing!

As I write this, I am surrounded by boxes.  We are moving to a different place in less than 3 weeks, and I leave for Minnesota for 10 days on Thursday!  A couple of weeks ago we decided to look for a new abode.  We viewed one place last Friday night, fell in love with it immediately, and put the deposit down last Saturday.  Currently we rent a 2-bed apartment and Paul's office, so we're combining the two into a 3-bed duplex.  We've decided to stick with renting for now, and we got a great deal on the new place.  I am so excited because it has a dishwasher, 2 1/2 bathrooms, and TONS of storage, including an attic!  So, when you come visit there will be a bit more room for you now!  We'll be moving on Friday, August 7th (4 days after I get back from MN), so I'm trying to get nearly everything packed and ready to go before I leave on Thursday.

I am really looking forward to my trip to MN!  My friend Meghan is getting married on the 25th, and I plan on meeting up with quite a few friends and family too.  I plan to play tourist as well, hitting up the MN Zoo and Science Museum.  I'll be sure to get pictures up of my trip and our new place as soon as I can!

We took in a Bruce Springsteen concert on Sunday night- he is incredible!  He played for about 3 hours straight.  Not bad for a man of nearly 60!  

Sorry the posts have been infrequent and this is quite short, but the empty boxes are calling!
