Not too shabby...

This week has been crazy for both James and I. James started his new job and I was really busy printing stuff for my project. James was really nice and came to the letterpress almost everyday to help me make plates, cut paper, and learn how do perforation on the press. Sometimes I feel like a slave driver but I think James enjoys the letterpress projects as much as I do. He is quite a good printer himself- probably because he has such a good teacher.

Thursday was my 24th birthday. James had class at 7 am and class until 9 pm so we decided we would save celebrating for another day. He did go buy me some Einstein bagels at 6:30 am before his class which was VERY nice of him. Probably the highlights of my day were: singing over the phone by my nephews Andrew and Spencer, a phone call from my niece Kate, and the premiere of The Office. I also received an awesome b-day/early graduation present. I actually got it about a month ago because it was on sale then and it would have been hard for James to hide it in our already too full apartment. I love it. Here it is...

I have to say that I have coveted this item for quite some time. Thanks to James, my parents-in-law, and my parents who went in on the gift.

Overall we have had a good + productive week. James likes his new job a lot, school is going pretty well for both of us, and my final project is going smoothly so far.
