Andrew is 21 and has been living and working in Seattle but decided to move down here and try to make a living on his passion for golf. He's currently on the hunt for a job at golf course in the area. We love Andrew and it's fun to have company. Obviously it's a bit of an adjustment to have someone else in our home but we're figuring it out. Honestly, we hardly have time to notice. School is going well for both of us but between school, work, and home life we are running around like crazy people.
We have made some friends here which is nice, but it's definitely a lot different than it was when we were in Princeton. Because we don't live in student housing we know a lot less people then it seems everyone else knows and we're left out of a lot of events. Overall, we're pretty disconnected. This would be more disappointing than it is if we had the time to be disappointed. At this point I think we both go, "wow we really miss our friends in Princeton and the community there - we wish we had a bit more of that here. Okay, well lets go read."
My cousin Niki and her husband Greg and daughter Addie live about 30 minutes from here which has been lovely. We've been able to see them several times and after living apart from Niki for most of my life, it's really fun to be able to spend quality time with her and her family.
Well, I think that's it for now. Sorry if you're reading this thinking that you never hear from me - I'm sorry to be a bad friend. I promise that on December 13 I will become a good friend again. Loves to you all.

Woah, crazy living adjustment. This is the last thing I expected to read on your updates. (c: I hope Andrew's searching goes well. I feel you with the "let's go read," response. Miss you and love you both!
What fun! As you know, we had Brian, our aspiring golfer, live with us for about a year & we found it quite fun, so we are in full approval of your new roommate. However, I hope this doesn't mean the guest room will not be available for future visits! :-)
