And there was much rejoicing

Yippee!!!

I just finished with classes, work (for the most part), and tap dancing! Yee-haw! I start my internship next week. I am all registered for first semester classes and they look awesome:family policy, volunteer management & nonprofit admin, lobbying for nonprofits, and healthcare finance. Speaking of healthcare finance...

Hospital bills are poopy. Clearly this is no revelation, but after a semester of putting things off, I finally got around to investigating the 3.5 trillion bills we received from my one brief emergency room visit in November. If only I could fall ill (or down) during normal business hours! What a savings that would be! I did learn that if you go to a federally funded hospital claim to be homeless and reveal that you have no insurance they MAY write you off as a charity case. Legally, all federally funded hospitals must provide a certain amount of "free" care. I wouldn't recommend homelessness, but still, it's an option. ;)
Speaking of homelessness...

Jeremy and I just secured our housing for the next few years. We are moving to an incredibly cute house in East Austin that has a YARD. It also has a front porch and more than one kitchen cabinet!!!!!! We are thrilled to pieces! Our new home is half a mile from UT in an awesome neighborhood doing its best to "Keep Austin Weird". I would post pictures, but it might freak out the current tenants to have us taking photographs thru windows, etc. PLEASE COME VISIT!!!! Everybody cool knows that Austin, Texas is THE place to be in mid-August! All the heat and hotness you could possibly want!

In closing, I'd like to publicly say HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to my Mom and to Mutti :) Jeremy and I are very very blessed to have such wonderful moms. We love you both!

Here is a little haiku in y'alls honor (which is proof my brain is fried):

"Wonderful homegirl
Loving patient matriarch"
Reads my new tattoo

Obvsiouly, I need a nap.
