Graduation Day - Ann Arbor!

Official Graduation Day for Katie!  While she "walked" with her graduation class during the Spring Commencement, yesterday was her official graduation from the University of Michigan! We are so incredibly proud of her accomplishment!

Greetings from Ann Arbor - Junior Year :D

Another summer comes to a close with a drive to Ann Arbor to deposit Katie back at school.  This time it's for the start of her Junior year.  It's a cliché, I know, but it's amazing how time flies.  I can remember like it was yesterday, driving up here to check out the campus before she formally accepted.  Similarly, the trip here for her first year - and moving Katie into her freshman dorm hardly seems that long ago!  The list visits here can go on, and on...

Well I guess at this point Ann Arbor has become our adopted second home - Go Blue! :D

greetings from ann arbor - sophomore year :D

greetings from ann arbor!  after i ran the summer series 11 miler yesterday, we finished packing the car and drove - with a 45+ minute traffic jam inching through the delaware water gap and getting pulled over in ohio for speeding (but the officer let us off w/just a warning) - katie to ann arbor for the start of her sophomore year at michigan!  the big difference this time around is moving into her sorority house instead of the freshman dorm last year.

not sure how much sightseeing i'll get in this time around - but hopefully at least on visit to a brewpub :D

stay tuned!

greetings from ann arbor... redux :D

we arrived here last night, after a 10 hour drive (door to door, w/about a half dozen stops along the way), for katie's freshman orientation.  it's hard to believe that we were here less than 3 months ago, for the accepted students visit.  and, we'll be back here again in late august to move katie and her stuff into the dorm for the start of the fall semester.

seems as if michigan will be a much visited state over the course of the next 4 years!  now all i need to do is find some races to round out the visits :D
