Coming to an end

I paid our last rent check yesterday...I wish I would have taken a picture. I can't tell you how relieved I am to have that done. Sorry Dennis and Abby, and I think Pamela too, and whoever else is voting for "Stay put in DC" on our poll...this area is just too stinking expensive!

The other exciting news is that we are actually packing now. I've managed to get some boxes together, and Tom pulled some from the garbage the other day, and we're filling them now. I did the China cabinet today and it's nice to be really moving on it. I've just looked at the calendar and we leave in 3 weeks from tomorrow! Exciting but anxiety rasising, as we have a LOT to get done.

Tom has one night class left tomorrow which is awesome. We are soooo looking forward to this being done. After years and years and years of school, it is finally ending. It'll be nice to have evenings together and I'm happy Tom can take a rest from papers and exams and forced reading. He's definitely excited about reading books that he really wants to and having it all behind him. He has done amazingly well through it all, not too stressed, but I know it is a huge relief for him. He should also be graduating with Honors, which is pretty impressive. He's in the middle of a few papers this weekend, but is currently taking a break to play old school Mario3 on the Nintendo. He's trying to conquer all the worlds with no warping which is obviously a big feat. We're celebrating classes being done tomorrow by going to Fuddrucker's. Tom seems to think he can manage the 1 lb. burger...he failed before. I'll definitely update the results.
