Summer Arrival

The month of May brought some teasers for summer - warmth and rain, followed quickly by downright cold weekends. If the past four days of 90+ degree weather is any indication, though, I believe I can say with assurance that summer has arrived and is here to stay!

With summer come many changes, the first being one of address! That's right, I've applied, been approved for, and signed the lease on a new apartment. I can't take any credit for having found the place, though. Cody, my future roommate, was visiting DC with Joe and Jeff, and we all went apartment hunting together. Of course, first we had to go to the farmer's market, my regular Saturday morning routine, and there Cody pointed out some nice windows overlooking the market and said he wished we could live there.

Long story short, we went in and asked, looked at their one available apartment, and after seeing half a dozen other places the same day, decided to apply for it! The price is right and the location is perfect, the building is new and has all sorts of good amenities. I'm going to spend the month of June moving (paying double rent, unfortunately, but at least it lets me do a leisurely job of moving!) and Cody will move in early July. Yahoo! Pictures when we're moved in!

Otherwise, not too much happened in May. Cody, Jeff and Joe visited one weekend, and Jeff came back another weekend to hang out. I went clothing shopping and actually found some good stuff thrifting with Mandy. My CSA started and the first two deliveries were lots of fun; I'm looking forward to a season of yummy fresh stuff! Exercise routine has gone by the wayside, of course, although I've been mostly eating pretty healthy. I've gone on a few bike rides, which were fun.

Next weekend is Virginia Beach with family and friends, which ought to be great!

That's the news that is fit to print... work is still going well, the feet are still hurting, and in general life is pretty decent!
