Update on cookies, graduation, the bar exam, and questingboston's new lease on life!

Hello faithful readers! Kday and I apologize for the lapse in posting. We'd like to imagine that you have all been sitting in front of your computer screens, pining for a post about something delicious, and feeling empty inside. We know that virtually none of you care, but let's keep the dream alive, shall we?

First, an update on the cookie quest... We continued questing and eating cookies and spending time together, but stopped posting because we got overwhelmed with all things last-semester-of-law-school related. I don't remember where we went, but none of the cookies were as good as that first delectable cookie from Clear Flour Bread. They win the prize and you should go there post haste.

Then we graduated from law school! It was all very exciting and involved silly hats. Kday was a party pooper and removed her entire juris doctor ensemble prior to the photo, but I have to give her credit for her foresight. We all looked ridiculous and that velvet is really hot.

After that, Kday promptly left Boston to embark on her new adventure questing for BLTs in Michigan and/or lawyering it up. She moved into a historic building that I can't wait to see photos of (ahem, kday - photos plz).

After graduation, we took the dreaded bar exam. Aaand it was horrid. I consider myself a relatively collected human - I held it together during exams most years but this bar exam thing was rough on the psyche. Let's just say I'm glad I'm still married. We're crossing our fingers that we passed and I'm sure everyone we know is also crossing their fingers so they don't have to hear us talk about it ever again. We don't blame you.

That pretty much brings us to the present. Now - the future of our little blog. Kday is in the mitten and I'm still in the Bay State, making future joint questing infrequent at best. The distance is one thing, but we also have jobs now and can't just run around eating desserts all day. Furthermore, questingbostonandgrandrapids is a little unwieldy. With Kday's gracious permission, I'm going to be the main blogger from here on out.

Here it is!

If you haven't guessed already, the new quest is HOME OWNERSHIP. Drew (remember Drew?) and I close on a condo in Boston tomorrow morning. It's on the 1st floor of a triple-decker and it's in need of some TLC. Now, there are lots of home ownership blogs out there but this one will be different. First, it will be different because Drew and I are cooler than the other bloggers (obvi). Second, it will be different because the other bloggers seem to know what they're doing. We don't. We have grand plans for this little place and will be carrying them out with help from the great folks at youtube, the orange-apron-clad people at Home Depot, and hopefully a healthy dose of luck.


So that's that. After we close, the first project is painting all the walls and trim, which are currently all the same shade of blah cream except the bathroom, which is a yellow-and-purple sponge painting disaster. Until then, please cross your fingers for a smooth closing!
