Tonight ends my second full day in Nashville. So far I have turned in 5 resumes, gotten 4 job interviews lined up, and I've looked at 5 apartments.



Going well I'd say.

I have one more suitcase and my laptop to put in my car and then I'm Nashville-bound!

Busy Week

The past week was as follows:

Monday - went to the fair
Tuesday - painted the family room
Wednesday - went sail-boat racing at sunset, the boat we were on won
Thursday - went to Shipshewana (Amish Country) then took the dog to the dog park
Friday - went to Michigan's Adventure
Today - packing
Tomorrow - moving to Tennessee!

I'm Old

Today my mom discovered something.

My first gray hair.

I made her pull it out.

Four

It is my favorite number. I deemed it so long ago when I realized it was the only number which had the same number of letters as itself. Meaning, there are four letters in the word "four". And no, "to" doesn't count.



It is also the number of years I have made Anderson my home.

The number of autumns I have loved with the help of the golden-red valley.

The number of times (well, times two semesters) I have eagerly awaited to see who would be in my classes.

The number of campus housings I have lived in.

The number of campus mailboxes I have had.

The number of winters I neglected to go sledding down the library hill.



The number of days I have left to be here.

Can I just say that when you are staying with someone for two weeks before you move and while you are staying with them they move, it gets a little crazy.

For Karen

This is my gift to you:

You've been quoted, but more importantly you've been forever etched into the hearts of many. Although we are all sad to see you go, we know you're life is a blessing even in your death. We love you Keren.
