Sometimes you may notice I mention some of our new friends - mostly fellow grad students of course. Well here is a picture of Shelley and baby Alden. He just turned 6 weeks old this week and is so huge compared to when we met him 5 weeks ago. She is holding him in a Mobi wrap and says it is very comfortable. When her husband wears it we like to call it the man womb, although Shelley says it is more awkward than when she was pregnant.
We were just commenting tonight on how close Thanksgiving is and how it seems we haven't really moved because we are so fortunate to be coming home for the Holidays and we were just home for a wedding. I don't think we'll feel like we've really moved until January. I was also talking about how I feel trapped in Davis and Woodland and I think it is because those are the only areas I am comfortable getting around in. It certainly isn't the fact we are surrounded by corn and wheat fields, so hopefully this weekend I'll go exploring while Bob studies!
Right now Bob is working in the study with another grad student for a project tomorrow. He does seem busier working for his PhD than his masters, but I think he has one more course than normal right now. He has class 3 days a week but is on campus pretty much every day.
I am still working independently and have my hopes on getting a different position at the university. It would mean a regular schedule, but also regular benefits and some other perks that go with a campus job.
