life in Ann Arbor

Things have been very busy since we got here. Unpacking and settling 

in and trying to figure out the town have consumed much of our time.

Ryan had a birthday the day before school started. 

We went to Zingerman's a popular Ann Arbor restaurant to celebrate 

His actual birthday was on a Sunday so we had cake and ice cream with a few of his fellow classmates

At the school they have an event that goes on in the summer time every night for 5 weeks called Top of the Park. They have food vendors and live music and show movies and things like that. We have gone to that several times.

First day of school!

our dog Molly flew to Michigan and we went and 

picked her up the second day of school

she is adjusting well

So far things have been going pretty well other than we had

a bad storm roll through the morning after 4th of July

and we went about 40 hours without power.

So I was going to try and do better on posting more regularly because we are so far away from everyone and I feel like this is easier to keep in contact. Of course since we have been here I haven't done a very good job, but I am trying to do better.

There is so much to talk about that I decided to break it into two posts. One about getting to Ann Arbor including pictures and then another post about the things that we have been doing since we got here. Here it goes. Sorry the pictures are terrible quality. Most are from Ryan's phone. We forgot to leave a camera somewhere that is was easily accessible.
