The roommate has arrived! My friend Ryan (female) is going to be staying with us until mid-December. She is a student at Winona State who will be student teaching up here in Champlin this semester. She's originally from Chicago, but WSU doesn't have any contracts with schools out there. She didn't want to stay in Winona or Wisconsin, so she got placed up here. She's hoping to find her own apartment at the end of student teaching, but who knows.
She arrived yesterday afternoon and the two of us worked ourselves out unpacking her car! Fortunately, Nemo gets along great with her. He would actually prefer to be in her room. It could be that her room is still kind of new to him (we usually leave that door closed) and it also could be because he likes her!
Amid all of this, we're also trying to get ready for our trip to California next week. We leave Thursday (probably in the morning) and get back Sunday afternoon. Anna and I will be doing our own thing in Anaheim, while the boys are at BlizzCon exploring all the fun WOW things. It'll be nice to chill out at the pool and do some sightseeing and all that fun stuff. It's not a long trip, but better than no trip!
Not to mention on top of everything.....tomorrow is my birthday! I'm the big 2-7! Officially late 20's. I can't complain, I've been getting all kinds of coupons and stuff to get free things for my birthday. Desserts, meals, coffee, lots of fun stuff! We went out with Pat and Kara on Friday night for dinner at Bella. It's a restaurant near our house that was YUMMY! Today we're doing lunch with my family at Don Pablo's. Then tomorrow Ryan and I are getting pedicures, the 3 of us are going shopping then doing dinner at Burger Jones in Minneapolis. Should be a fabulous birthday!
