times they are a changin'

I absolutely, positively cannot wait for May 13, 2006. Not only is it the day I officially graduate but it is when the bleeding will finally stop. Flagstaff will become a great memory (the only way for Flagstaff to be considered great is as a distant memory). I can't wait to be living in a warmer climate. And as sad as it may be, outside the wedding, I most look forward to TiVo or DVR. Really, I do. I want to be able to watch good TV at convenient times rather than crappy TV at convenient times because simply not watching TV isn't an option. Also, I miss parks. I miss flat cities. I miss cookie cutter buildings and desert landscape. It may be sacrilegious to some of you but I prefer rock and cactus to any other landscape, even ocean. Besides, California is an awesome place to visit, so, if you live there, where do you spend your vacations? I will miss friends here. Let's not kid ourselves, we will miss Bryan and Colleen, our only friends here. But they and the possibility of Becca transferring here will be good reason to visit (not to mention New Jersey Pizza).

Rachel and I did a pretty kickbutt job of wrapping up some much needed wedding plans. We picked out flowers, tuxes, a rehearsal dinner location and tried some wedding cake. The rehearsal dinner will be at BJ's, a restaurant/brewery near Rachel's home in Las Vegas and the menu will most likely include unlimited pizza, salad and soft drinks. Hard drinks? You are on your own.

Rachel and I love to look at potential living arrangements after graduation. If we ultimately end up in Phoenix (you can come too Hanna family, just up and quit you current jobs, it will be fine), we like the Trillium properties, most notably: Edge, Venu and Rio Salado. We looked at the Edge in person and they were pretty darn awesome. It's all very speculative as much will be determined once the job picture clears up.

When I ran spell check, it wanted me to replace Colleen with clean, so, props to you Colleen.
