In other news...

Amy and I drove down yesterday to Athens for an interview with faculty in the Department of Counselor Education and Supervision. The interview went well and they have decided to admit me into their PhD program. It looks like (much to Jaisen's chagrin) we will be moving to Athens in Aug/Sep. We checked out the town and surrounding area, bought the kids a bunch of OU shirts and headed home. We absolutley loved the area and although it may be a wee bit expensive to live there, it is going to be a great place for our family.

On the way home and more importantly, we went to Max and Erma's (My first time) in Chillicothe. Following inspiration from a post on Hamburger America , I had them dress my burger up with Bleu Cheese, Onions and BBQ sauce.

It had to be one of the BEST I have ever had. this is they way I will be eating them for a while. I should have got the bacon on it but I was trying to replicate from memory. I will have to go to schnippers and try theirs.

Overall, It was a great trip out for a burger and I enjoyed the news from OU as well.

Yay! Congrats! If you live outside of town, it's tons cheaper...But if you're going to live intown, I would recommend living on the east side. The neighborhood I lived in was dubbed the "faculty ghetto." It's primarily families, profs, and grad students living there. And, you can walk uptown, to McCracken, to the library, to the new rec center (which I hear is nice), to the pool, (which would be a little bit of a walk), to just about everywhere you guys will need to be!

Oh, and when I lived there, I lived just a few steps from East Elementary. It was dubbed "the UN." All the profs kids went there, and they were from all parts of the world.

Again, Congrats Michael!
