Graduate school, grants, and babies--Oh my!

Hello, everyone. I felt the need to reconnect with my roots and submit another entry in the blog. Things have been pretty exciting for me and Adam lately... he's been accepted to the University of Illinois, Cal Tech, and Stanford, so far, and he's a finalist for the Hertz fellowship award (a big, cool award that will help aleviate, to some extent, our graduate-school poverty). So we're pretty happy about all of that. In March Adam will start to visit the schools, and we'll know for sure by April where we're going (though I'm pretty sure it'll be the U of I. We just feel good about it).

My news? I'm having a baby! Wahoo! And it's a boy, as I'm sure you all know from my shameless mass-email. We're trying to think of names... please feel free to submit any suggestions.

Hope you're all doing well. Thanks for being such great friends!!
