a flu-ridden re-cap

I apologize for the unintended hiatus! This week has been especially weird, since I came down with the flu (or something flu-like) on Tuesday and had a fever for the first time since who knows when. I'm still getting over it all, but since my head doesn't hurt anymore at the very thought of typing I thought I'd have a go at a more lackluster blog post. Better than no post at all, right? Right.


It's been an eventful two weeks. We had to take our car to the shop for the first time since we got it last year because we thought something had broken off of it. 

After Aaron took it to the shop though, the mechanic called to let us know that the part that came off our car wasn't even a part of our car... but rather was just a piece of metal that had gotten lodged into our wheel. What?! He ended up repairing our transmission pan since Ole Paw, our car, was there anyway, but that repair was $500 less than the original one would have been. Whew.


Also, pretty big news, we are moving off-campus over the summer. This is both exciting and heartbreaking at the same time (sort of like The Lion King?) since we'll be living in a bigger space in a cute neighborhood at a very nice price, but will be a good 15-20 minutes drive from the seminary community that we have gotten to know and love. I have to keep reminding myself of one of the huge perks of relocating in order to make me feel more at ease... our new neighborhood has SIDEWALKS. How I've missed them!


My parents are coming to town this Thursday night! It will be their first mid-western adventure together as they take the 14 hour trek to Deerfield from New Jersey. I have to still think of some interesting places to take them (my apartment might be interesting for only an hour, but that's pushing it) and hope that some warmer spring weather manifests itself in due time... 


Finally, here is a picture of a fake coyote staring at a goose. 

You're welcome.


Happy Easter Weekend!
