We’re back in Howard Lake, for the time being. We arrived in Howard Lake at about 2:15 on Saturday afternoon – and Liza had to change clothes, do her hair, and be back on the road to Minneapolis by 3. She needed to head to Molly’s house to help her set up things for Cortney’s bachelorette party. Liza was at Molly’s by 4, and the party started at 5, right on time. Liza had a lot of fun at the party – although it means that soon all of her friends will be married! Guess it means we have lots of couple friends now!
Ever since Sunday, we have been trying to do a million things at once. Of course, Liza is back to working hard, as well as trying to line herself up more work for the coming fall. She is also neck deep in her second grad school packet. This is her graduating semester, and her 120 page thesis has a first draft due date of September 3rd. She is currently on page 80, so she is right on track, but it will be a busy 3 weeks with work and grad school.
Also, we are getting ready to move. Everything is always happening at once, it seems. We need to be out of our house by August 31st. The biggest problem that we are running into is that we need to be in Aberdeen for a Junebug show on August 29th, and a wedding on August 30th. This means we really need to be completely ready to leave on Thursday before we head to Aberdeen. Then, on Sunday, when we come back from Aberdeen ,we will need to get everything out of our house before we can move into our new one on September 1st. We are also swamped for the rest of the month. Cortney’s wedding weekend really begins tomorrow, and next weekend we are busy in the cities for housewarming parties and all sorts of things. So, in between working, writing her grad school thesis, and watching the olympics, Liza has been trying to pack. Tony is having much better luck, as packing and Junebug are really all he has to do until we leave.
In big Junebug news, we’re looking at two great CD release party shows. The first will be August 28th, in Aberdeen. The second will be October 17th, at the Fine Line Music Club, in Minneapolis. We are very excited!
If anyone would like to help move, please let us know. It looks like we will have to move out of here all in one day, and move into our new place all in one day, so we would be eternally grateful for anyone’s help for either of those days!
