Tinker74 - thanks!! We've been getting on well, thank you for asking!
Our relocation went well.. the drive from california to michigan wasn't as fun as it might have been - I had all these stops planned along the way, but then our car overheated in arizona, and we had to stop to fix the AC and that really slowed us down, so we had to rush the rest of the way.. but me, jim, and our dog made it safely to michigan! We had a blast decorating our house and spending all of our bed bath and beyond gift cards we got from the wedding! In case anyone is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly bored, ive had the pictures up on my flickr account for the past year of the drive and our new house and everything..

We love being in a house for less then what we were paying to rent an apartment in california, although jim didn't really enjoy his first michigan winter! I'm doing really well in grad school, doing research in the field of molecular evolution using bat DNA - it's kind of cool, though school drives me a bit crazy at times
We're both enjoying married life - though it makes us feel much older than we were before!
Probably no new trip reports for a while,
now when I write it's in the hopes that a scientific journal will publish it - and they don't care for details i'm afraid!
I envy all the people on this board who are still planning for their wedding - I toy with the idea of a five year vow renewal if we have the money. In the meantime I'll be content if we can go to WDW once a year for a short trip, I'm going through disney withdrawal right now
Anyway, since this thread got bumped I decided to go back and edit in some professional photos, since I never had the chance to do that last year... then maybe I will finally print it out and put it in a binder to serve as a sort of "scrapbook" for my wedding! I'm also thinking of putting the video footage of my wedding that my guests took and putting it online since some friends of mine from out of state wanted to see it.. now that it's summertime and no more classes (though i still do research) I might have the time to catch up on all of these projects ive been meaning to do! Maybe I will post a link here in case anyone is interested in seeing some more footage of our wedding. Anyway that's probably a longer answer then you wanted
Thanks for asking about us though!!
