housing update

we have a house!
http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/apa/929981542.html
this house is on lake drive, right where the lake drive entrance to calvin is (for those of you who know GR)... we could literally throw a rock from the front yard to calvin's property.
it is a duplex... 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, a family room, and 1.5 bath on each side. with 8 girl total, that means each side will have 4 girls... 2 with their own room and a pair sharing a room (my roommate and i being one of the pairs).
we went and visited the house tonight, and tomorrow morning we are sealing the deal. we will have the place starting on june 1, meaning i have a place to stay this summer! there are a few of us that will be staying here in GR for the summer.
things are finally falling in to place. now that we have all this housing stuff figured out, we don't have to worry about it for the rest of the year. now that's a good feeling.
two more days of class and then it is off to ohio/west virginia with my roommate for thanksgiving.
so you know how i mentioned last night that it hasn't snowed/stuck?
well, i woke up this morning to 5 inches of snow.
it is so pretty! plus, i spent about 75% of my day in johnny's doing homework, so it is easier to enjoy the snow when you don't have to be outside in it for an extended period of time.
i will put some pics up of the house in the next day or so, and a couple of random pics from the past couple of weeks.
i hope all is well wherever you may be.
speaking of that...
i have this thing called google analytics, and one of the things it keeps stats on is where i get viewers from...
i currently have 9 countries: the US, Canada, Honduras, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, United Kingdom, and Turkey. and in the US, i have 20 states... with California and Michigan coming in my top two states with the most readers.
it's so much fun to see this stuff.
and i get quite a number of hits from people who search stuff on google and then get directed to my site... and i even get to see what they searched in order to get to my site.
i also see who's sites give me the best references... for instance, both jillian and the fieldhouses are responsible for each referring 4% of my viewers from a link on their site.
isn't crazy how i can find out all this stuff!?!
so i guess working on circulation of my blog is something i have become more fascinated with.
if you feel the need to pass my site link along, by all means, go for it... i feel as if i am collecting states and countries :)
i need to get back to some homework.
