Moving Day!

We are now officially residents of Saline, MI. Don't sound like an out-of-towner and pronounce it Say-lean (as in saline solution), the local & "proper" pronounciation is Suh-lean.

We had a lot of help moving & cleaning Saturday, so the move went more quickly than I had anticipated. Big thanks to Matt, Jen, Melissa, Laina, Todd, Mom & Dad W., & Mom & Dad S. for helping. On Sunday we were officially checked out of our first married apartment (aww...tear).

Our downstairs "apartment" at the Steenbergen condo is currently reminiscent of a Brazilian shanty town, since we haven't unpacked all of our stuff yet. At least there isn't a pressing need to get unpacked- we can do it a little bit at a time.

So...come by and visit "our" new digs. Here are some calculated driving distances to Saline thanks to Google Maps:

Feel free to leave a comment if your location was left off the list...I'll look it up for you!

You could calculate Northwood, OH to Saline...

Well, shoot. A long drive and a long swim! Have you heard there's talk of building a bridge or tunnel or something between Alaska and Russia? I wonder if there's a ferry you could take off these here islands...

Here's something funny for you, though - have you seen this? Enter New York, New York to Paris, France into Google Maps. Read carefully. Laugh uproariously.

I had a student tell me about that one in class. I didn't believe her until I tried it...

Here's the link for anybody who hasn't tried it yet:

New York, New York to Paris, France

Pay special attention around step 21...
