But I did FINALLY find an apartment for the fall. I'm so excited. I get to be just one block from one of my very best friends and just 10 mins from one of the best shopping districts in the city. I'm so excited about it :). PLUS it actually allows cats which means that for the first time since I got him, Teddy will not have to been hidden and I won't have to be paranoid every time some one knocks on my door. YAY!
Work's been pretty normal. Jo came in on Friday to help us identify some things, which was nice. I was glad to be able to show him what I've been doing. It's a little difficult to just explain the job and I never feel like I end up doing it justice. He did get bored, I don't think he was expecting things to take so long to describe, but hey that's also part of the job. We haven't really found anything all that exciting, but I do have a few pictures for you guys that I meant to share last week but clearly never got around to.

This would be my wall of terror. It it most (not all) of our farm tools. Notice the saw. The handle in the middle is for a sythe and the dehorner is beside it. The weird thing with the handles below the barrel rings is the pig snouter.
This is a "medium" sized toolbox. I don't want to know what the large looks like. Cool sidenote, that piece of wood standing up in the back is an early level.
Ok, this one itself isn't anything special, but I only last week learned that the Confederacy had five different flags. This picture shows all five of them. The middle one, the one we all recognize, was apparently the battle flag.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've actually been sick today and couldn't go in, but things are moving pretty quickly. I really don't think that it's going to be that much longer before we finish the collection. Then we are going to put their genealogy books into a seperate catalog and start planning some exhibits. Hard to perdict how long things will take, obviously, but we are moving right along.
We were also interviewed for the paper again yesterday. This time they are doing an article on interns in Greene. I think we overwhelmed her a bit with the amount of little things we are doing, but it really is impossible to give a grand overview of the whole job. It really it just a whole bunch of little things. I'm excited about the article though and can't wait for it to come out. I think it will really get people excited for the museum and may generate a lot of interest.
Oh yes, and the wedding was absolutely beautiful. I almost cried several times which makes me so sure that I will pretty much sob through my entire wedding day. I have to laugh though because Jo's family always assume that since I've been around for three years that I've met everybody. Reality is, I haven't. I wouldn't even say I've met half of them. But it was a nice day and a beautiful wedding and I did get to meet at least a few more family members.
So things are still busy, but I feel like I've accomplished a lot in the last week. I've started taking my GRE prep course too and confirmed the letter of recomendation I most wanted (and was most concerned I wouldn't get). Lot's still to do this summer, of course, but things are coming along pretty nicely.
