Got a second round interview for the that job from about two weeks ago, looking forward to that. They said only the top 2 or 3 would move in so that's nice that I'm a top candidate. Hoping for the best, it's a neat job with a pay raise from my old one, and a really convenient location.

Otherwise, we've got movers hired and will be moving in about 3 weeks. Really excited to be settling into our new place. Have internet set up, need to get other utilities organized. We've got the floor folks set up too. Roof is on hold pending more income than a PhD stipend and whatever holdover work I get.

Wedding planning is going slowly. We think we've found a venue (local restaurant) but they're shit at communication. But they also have awesome food, are accessible, have good space, and deal well with allergies for people so it has a lot going for it, plus a lot cheaper than your normal wedding venue. So we're tolerating it but nearing the end of our rope. We last emailed and decided between ourselves it was our last reminder to them before we say they're too much trouble which would be a shame. We'll see where it goes!
