Last night there was a hayride in our complex

It was a genuine hayride with horses and carriages filled with hay and even a santa look-a-like driving the carriage. Our apartment complex smelled like horse poop.



We decided to ride on it and it was fun! Our kitties liked looking out the window at the horses too.

Tonight!!!

At 8pm the University Singers will be performing Bach's Christmas Oratorium at the Memorial Church on campus. Come check us out! You won't be disappointed.

Come hear us sing next weekend!

If you don't already have plans for tonight or tomorrow...

Exploring Stanford

I'm so Stanford

Our future apartment

We spent the day around Stanford getting some things taken care of to prepare for our move down there. I took a few cute pics of our little Palo Alto apartment for you all to see.

The first picture is of the cute tree lined sidewalk in front of our building. Our unit is on the middle/second floor. That's our balcony in the trees! The bottom picture is of the garage area behind our apartment. I'll post more pictures once we move in of course.

Stanford here we come!

I've just been given the "green light" to make this announcement official... Dave was offered funding from the National Science Foundation to do a postdoc at Stanford starting in July of this year! This is pretty big (and awesome) news not only because securing a postdoc at Stanford as your first move right after you've finished your PhD at UC Berkeley is not too shabby, but also because the battle for NSF funding is quite competitive.

Congrats to my amazing soon-to-be husband! Now we just need to get excited about moving to the Peninsula.
