Hi Kimberly

Ok so I know Emily is in Europe about now, or at least on her way so I thought I'd write just to you!:) Im working today 8am-2pm at the desk so I brought my computer to work on some presentations and papers I have this next week. Trish is supposed to come over sometime and finish her dvd thing for grad school for ASL (american sign language) which is fun. I know enough from being around her to catch the drift of the conversation.

But yeah, I've been looking at Ikea like every 20 minutes just because I'm so excited about the apartment! I want to talk to Em about how we are going to set stuff up and how to decorate. I figured our furniture will be in the room on the main floor and maybe put Emily's futon in the finished basement, and a tv with either of those. I'm still kinda worried about the bedroom arrangement. I want it to be fair, I am kind of leaning towards the smaller bedroom though, so I though we might do what you and Julie did and just say which one you want. Maybe that will work ok.

I've got a lot of work ahead of me at the house in Mansfield because I'll be moving stuff. I wanted to ask you what I should do with your stuff and how much you actually have left in your room/furniture. I want mom to look at Ikea desk (http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?topcategoryId=15600&catalogId=10103&storeId=12&productId=58526&langId=-1&parentCats=15600*15874), and make your room her office. We could even do 2 desks, one for her and the other for the computer. We'll see. Ok I'm off to work on my paper. But IM me if you want, I'll be here.
