We're moving to Nashville!

Katie and I are moving to Nashville! Everything has happened so quickly and we are still confirming some details, which is why I have been hesitant to make the announcement. Although several things have fallen into place, we have one major concern: finding someone to sublet our apartment for two months. If you know of anyone looking in Evanston, let us know. Our apartment rocks! We just added...
