A not-so-thorough update

In NY. After a crazy flight (most of which was spent sitting on the runway while LaGuardia was shut down), the wedding in Michigan last weekend was good. Arden was the star, an incredibly adorable and good-natured baby. She'd get cranky at times, but on the whole she kept going as long as we did. The day after Brett and I returned to Queens, I went up to Columbia to meet my advisor. An agonizing, frustrating two days. It's not over, but I'm not thinking about it for the moment. Today we're meeting Jodi, Owen, and cousin Jenna for a day at Coney Island. There's a sand-sculpting competition apparently. I signed a lease for my apartment but have not moved in yet. Sorry, Darren. I'm hoping my boxes arrive soon so I can just move everything at once. They still seem to be on the boat though. The last they were heard of was the port in Japan. *sigh* Presents for friends in those boxes too, so I hope they arrive soon.
