Today's Coffee: Iced Va Va Vanilla


Well, today is going to be busy! We are 10 days away from moving to CT and our apartment is getting pretty crazy. Boxes are everywhere, eating off of paper plates, bikes in the living room... you get the idea. We have been packing like crazy and trying to figure out how we have so much stuff. Granted - we live in a one bedroom apartment right now, it's not that much. Tonight, some of my dear friends from school are having a cookout going away party for Thomas and I. Right after that we are driving to Greenville to stay up and prepare for the Yard Sale of the Century. It begins at 7 am - so we will be up late tonight and up really early tomorrow morning. We are going to take all the money and pay for the moving costs.

Thomas and I have been training now for a 10k. This is something we thought would be really cool to keep up with when we move - so we are on an 8 week training plan. This has been fun to do and we both have found that we really enjoy running. Yale has sent out important dates for the students to remember and there are parties and semi-formals. I guess that's how they do it at Yale! The Institute of Sacred Music (ISM) hosts all these parties and they certainly are formal events - different than the School of Music cookout at USC. We are looking forward to those.

In other news - Happy Birthday Seth, Sandy and Olyn!

Well, off to figure out how to dismantle our desk and try to stuff it in the car to sell in the YSOTC (Yard Sale of the Century).

In Christ,
The Russell
