The weekend

I swear, the speed of weekends increases exponentially with age. They used to go by slowly, but now they fly by!

As with the previous few, this one was filled with wedding plans. Sarah and I purchased our wedding rings at the same location we bought her engagement ring. We're having them make one that fits her unique ring perfectly. Unfortunately, that requires for them to take it for a week to create a plastic mold and such. Her finger already looks weird not wearing it. Pretty cool how quickly we both got used to it!

This weekend we also made serious strides in our wedding registry. We picked out about everything we wanted to make a joint decision on in the stores, and now Sarah is going to finalize colors and a few random items online. We're pretty excited about some of the stuff...including an electric fondue pot and camping equipment! (for those of you chomping at the bit to buy us stuff, we're registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond as well as Target...our registries are available online at both websites under either one of our names)

We also went to the annual Hope/Calvin rivalry game. Hope won of course, and we got to enjoy it with over 40 alumni from both schools out in King of Prussia. Our friends Alaine Cronkright, Erika and Josh Blom, as well as our new friend Mike Forbes were out there. Fun times!


Sorge family update: they've both landed part-time jobs for the time being. Jim will hear back this week regarding the results of his interview pursuing a more long-term career in research at UPenn. Teresa is working at Koresh Dance Company, where she doesn't get paid, but she is allowed to take all the free classes she desires to keep her in shape for Temple this fall (and learn more ideas for teaching). They have several leads in housing, but nothing that fits their immediate needs. Still, they're getting the hang of Philly and have driven more miles this week than I'd like to in a month.
