Michigan

After two full days on the road, Erin and I got into Ann Arbor late Friday evening. Yesterday we stocked our cupboards, bought some news clothes, picked up a campus parking pass, hooked up our Internet connection (hence this posting), registered for classes, helped some neighbors unload their truck, baked cookies, and both got library cards. Erin also picked up at least 100 paint swatches at a hardware store -- as soon as the furniture gets here we're planning on painting a couple of the rooms.

Like Ann Arbor, the apartment is somewhat bigger and damper than we had expected. For those of you who've visited us in Provo, the apartment is laid out on almost exactly the same floor plan, plus an additional 20% bonus in floor space. After the blurry and imprecise pictures and measurements ("Kitchen - 4x3"?!) on the Umich housing site, we were very relieved to find it so livable. We'll post pictures as soon as we're fully moved in.

Today we'll go to church. Tomorrow we'll hit campus. With a little luck our stuff will arrive on Tuesday and we'll be well settled before the semester starts.
