On the day of my senior seminar, Stephanie wears the same outfit as me... awkward. But also super cool. We're practicing for being bridesmaids in Christine's wedding.

Welcome to Our New Apartment

I've been hesitant to post pictures of our new place because we've still got so much unpacking to do and things are kind of a mess... but it's been a couple of weeks now and things probably aren't going to get done until I finish my mouse experiment, so until then, please enjoy the mess!

Our door-- yep, 407 means a fourth floor walk up! It's a lot of stairs! But Seth and I (and the four movers we hired and Brett and Jess) are all really buff now!!

Packer-fan household!

View of the entry way from the door. The stairs straight ahead go up to the loft. The laundry room and spare bedroom and bathroom are on the right. The master bedroom is to the left.

Housewarming Gift!

Thanks, Dad and Mom, for the beautiful candles! They are on the cedar chest in the entry way! They're just so beautiful!
