The beginning of a crazy time

So here we are trying blogging for the first time.  We thought it might be worthwhile to record this crazy time in our lives.  I just finished defending my thesis and John is defending next Friday.  We're now down a car since it sold and our furniture is slowly disappearing as it sells on craigslist.  It's pretty weird being in a semi-empty house and still living here :)  Today it is all about finding a place to live in College Station.  Short term leases (ie 4 months) are few and far between and I'm starting to worry whether we will have a place to live there.  I'm not even trying to think about what is going to happen in San Diego.  Hopefully, it will all work out and we'll find a place to live and live happily ever after for the few months we're in College Station.
