Yesterday was a good day for us! First, I had an awards ceremony, so Katsu and I got to go. It was kind of boring, but I won 3 awards. I won the Condit award and $300 for the top 100 seniors at Northeastern. I won the President's Award and $500 for the top 10 students per year at Northeastern. I also won the Hodgkinson award and $1500 for the top student in each college (so, I won for the College of Engineering). It was fun and we got to eat some good food which is always fun. Now, if we can just figure out what we should do with my money ...
Also, I got my funding at UMich. I am guaranteed funding the whole time I am there and the first year it's a fellowship, so I don't have to teach or be a research assistant right away. So, that's nice. We are now basically decided we are moving to Ann Arbor in June. Now we just have to get ready to move in a few months ...
That's our life. Today we are going to see our stake's production of Saturday's Warrior. I am interested to see how good it is. Katsu has never seen it at all, so it will be fun to see what he thinks of the musical ... I have a feeling he won't like it.

Amanda - Starting up
Decided since the rest of the family is, we better start a blog. Thoughts, events, and pictures. For us (Amanda & Katsu).
Our update -
We are trying to decide where to move & what to do for next year. Katsu is looking into getting his PhD in Physiology/Kinesiology at either Penn State (in Hershey) or University of Michigan (in Ann Arbor). Amanda is also accepted to an EE PhD at University of Michigan, but we're waiting to hear about funding. But maybe, she just wants to work, and not do the whole grad school thing. So, that's how it goes. Hopefully we'll know soon.
Otherwise, we're busy planning our trip to Europe this summer. We have tickets to fly to Paris May 31st and fly out of Madrd on June 23rd. Right now, we are planning on seeing:
