A Strange and Lazy Weekend

This weekend was quite relaxing...a little too relaxing!

We had a great time in Ann Arbor on Saturday. It's a cute downtown, with great restaurants and of course the campus UofM (which is huge by the way!)

Something that has been strange about these past 3 month is that this whole move has felt surreal. Everything has gone by so quickly. It still hasn't quite hit me that I've even moved - although you would think that the snow and cold alone would be my shock therapy! But it hasn't. I feel like I'm on vacation and that I'll be heading back to CA soon. However, when I was in Michigan, it started to hit me a bit. Locals would ask me where I'm from once they discovered I hadn't visited Ann Arbor before. My instinct was to say CA but then I would catch myself and say Ohio. It was so weird!!!

So whereas it hasn't quite sunk in yet that I've moved, I'm getting closer. We got home at about 2:30pm and I suddenly became really tired. I decided to take a nap and woke up 15 HOURS later. It was a record for me. I literally slept the rest of Saturday away and woke up late this morning. I couldn't believe it!!!

Today we lazed around the apartment and unpacked. It feels good to settle in. Maybe that will help me realize that I'm not in CA anymore! :) So far, we've unpacked the master bedroom and closet and half our kitchen. It's getting there!

This evening I had a great Skype conversation with my parents and grandparents and I finally watched the movie Julie and Julia. I liked it - just as I had hoped.

Well, on to bed.
