The weather lately has been fantastic here and I'm loving it. It's been in the mid to high 70s and sunny, so we've been keeping the windows open and I've been spending a lot of time out on the porch, reading. (I finished Their Eyes were Watching God and now am on The Grapes of Wrath, with which I am almost done.) We have a groundhog living somewhere around our yard (I'm thinking he lives under our shed) and it's fun to watch him. I'd never seen a groundhog in real life before until I moved out here. Of course, my first encounter with them was a little scary - I was sitting outside on a chair and all of a sudden, one came running at me, under the chair, and disappeared under the bushes. It definitely took me by surprise.
Anyway, one of the best things about this past week is that Tom and I have been able to spend some real quality time together. A few days ago, we went furniture shopping (bought a new bed and a coffee table), went out to lunch, and then wandered around Barnes and Noble for awhile (hence the new books). Then today, I got up when he got home, we made pancakes for breakfast and later in the afternoon, we played Trivial Pursuit. It's so nice to be done with the major school work (i.e., my thesis) and able to just relax for the last two weeks of the semester.
Then it'll be time to find a job, but that's a whole 'nother story....
