Here we are, some photos from our trip down here to Texas. Starting in Auburn and ending on our second day here. I apologize for the lateness of this post. We just got internet installed today and there was some trouble with the wireless. Everything is settled now and we are surfing the webs wherever we want. We will be posting some more about our happenings, but it is late, and we have had a big week.
Enjoy the pictures!
And here is a video of our new place.
Have we mentioned that we have an apartment? I don’t think so. Or maybe I forget. Well, we have an apartment! The image above is from the road in front of the house. We just got some photos of the inside of the apartment, so now we know that the whole thing is real and not a scam. Or if it is a scam, it’s a really good one.
So, the place looks cute from the outside, and it looks pretty big on the inside. We might need more furniture. Or we can just see where we end up next year after this Texas adventure before we start to fill up this place with stuff that might not fit into the next place.
Well, I figured that there was crime in College Station/Bryan, but now I know for sure. I’m glad that most of the crimes seem like “petty” ones. They may not be, but they seem like nothing to really worry about. If I saw more stabbings, or actual killings I may be more worried. I am also glad that not too many are in our new neighborhood.

I was once burgled. When I lived in Somerville, Massachusetts with a roommate who was given the nickname “Sprinkles”. He had a salt deficiency. All they took were cleaning supplies that Sprinkles had bought. Thankfully they didn’t have time to boost my boomin’ stereo and fly kicks.

A friend just did this for their place, and it reminded me of this website, walkscore.com. I plugged in our new address and came up with this:
its a pretty neat tool, go check out your walkscore.com
Holy smokes! Things have been busy finishing up this last semester at Auburn and starting to get ready to say goodbye to this place. The move is now less than 2 months away, and I am sans desk, dresser, and desk chair so far–thanks to Craig and his fancy li’l list! The realtor e-mailed us last week to let us know that they are renovating the apartment we will live in, and she wanted to know if we preferred upstairs or down, and if we wanted one with some hardwood floors…I thought that was thoughtful. Especially since there is still a chance that they took our deposit and ran away…but I don’t think that is the truth.
So, these are some of the things I have been busy doing:
1. The Counseling Psych program had a farewell party for me and my friend Tammy, since we are the two going off into the big internship world this summer. It was really fun, and the first time that I can remember that the whole program was all together. That was nice. Weird to think that I really might not see some of those folks again before we go…
2. Proposing my dissertation research. I am glad that is over.
3. Jaunting home to Phoenix to participate in the 25th Anniversary alumni concert for the Phoenix Children’s Chorus. I think my sister owes me–big time. But it was fun. Also involved in the day were a daytime and a night-time view of the giant “Cactus Flower” art in downtown Phoenix, and a lady sunbathing–also in the middle of downtown Phoenix. I got to see my old friend Brian and swim in the pool and have a bean and egg and cheese burrito from Ramiro’s…TWICE! Not to mention, having a great time with my wonderful family.
Back in Auburn now. Making some plans for the last of the things I will do in the Southeast…lots of them with Wylie. Boating on the Nantahala is on the list, as is Dollywood, and a visit from my parents…sheesh! The next 6 weeks will be filled up!
