Life in Syracuse

Hi folks! It's been a while since we last posted anything to our blog. We thought we would give you an update now that we have (more or less) settled into a life here in Syracuse, NY. We're both fully immersed in grad school -- and thoroughly enjoying the challenge. Nancy is hard at work, examining ways in which our country can retool its immigration policies. She also finds time to run four times a week and patronize the local farmers market. Sean, meanwhile, is studying the complicated dynamics of the Arab-Israeli conflict, struggling through quantitative statistics, and playing racquetball. Amidst all of this, we are setting up shop in our beautiful new house. Attached are photos of the house, which remains a work in progress. Included are a few shots of the initial overhaul (which was made possible by the incredible support and expertise of Nancy's parents, Janet and Roger!) and the (sort of) finished product.
