Gettin’ Excited about Graduating!
Anna and I have a count down going on our lab board concerning the days left until we graduate. So today it's 58 days left! I am starting to become amazed by how quickly the last few years have flown by. Really. It's pretty awesome to think that I'm basically finished with my undergraduate studies.
I'm not completely out of the woods though. I still have some loose ends to tie up, such as my thesis. And I don't want to think about it. BUT, if you're around during the week of Dia del Oso, and you have nothing better to do but listen to my thesis presentation, then, by all mean, please do! Provided I get past my defense, I'm presenting that week on my research concerning bioaccumulation of TNT using a C14 tracer. 
Okay, I think that is all for now. The Bears are losing to Purdue, and therefore I am depressed.
1 year…
Yesterday marked year one complete in the Michelle and Bryan saga. I bought Kolaches from West, Tx for breakfast and brought them to Michelle. 7:00am breakfast was fun. I wrote Michelle a list of things I love about our first year together. 
I thought it was rather sweet...
For dinner, we tried out Basaberu- the new restaurant across the highway from campus. The food was really good. Our waitress served us the wrong food first. It was supposed to be for the people at the table next to us! The spinach and artichoke dip was tasty and the DosEquis was delicious as it should be.
We ended the evening with a spat about it not being special enough... What's an anniversary without a little grief, right?
This evening we're supposed to be doing a picnic dinner. I'm thinking we'll take Lucky-butt out to Cameron park and set up in the grass somewhere if it's not too wet from yesterday's downpour. Will update later on if I get any smooches out of picnic-time. ;-D
Here we go, here we go again!
Hi guys! I FINALLY got Bryan to wake up and explain to me why my u&p weren't working. So sad, really, that I'm going to grad school and still cannot figure out how to navigate the internet!
So, if you haven't heard, yes, we've succumbed to having a website about ourselves. I'll admit though, that I had been leery about it. Bryan and I have only been dating for a year, come tuesday, and although we're madly in love (most days), a website is a lot of committment. And I'm not one for committment!
But here it is. This should be fun! I'm getting ready to start off on this crazy journey to graduate school. At the moment it looks like I'll be moving to Austin so that I may study at UT Houston's Science Park, a molecular carcinogenesis research facility under the umbrella of the Health Science Center at Texas Medical Center, but located in Smithville, TX. Confusing, I know. The program is just one of UT Houston's many (and I mean MANY) biomedical programs centered out of Houston. The reason this particular program is located in Smithville, however, is that the radioactivity counts in Houston and the surrounding areas are too high to complete the sensitive counts needed in this particular area of research. That's why this program is located out in the middle of freaking nowhere. The upside to its isolation is that the site is between Austin and Houston, and is actually closer to Austin, so I can live there! I visited both the Smithville and Houston campuses over the last couple of days, and enjoyed it immensely! Now I can't wait to start the program!
Hopefully this website will help both Bryan and I keep up with the people that we don't mean to neglect, as well as share our good news and brag about Lucky's latest trick.

Alright! The site's up! I've just about got everything pieced together using WordPress for blogging and Gallery2 for photos. I have the most amazing girlfriend and I hope that we can keep lots of memories here!
