-Having a dishwasher and washer/dryer. The loud banging and sloshing is music to my ears.
-Our new ward. Even though we've only been there for one Sunday, everyone was so nice and welcoming. We hadn't sat down for ten seconds in the chapel and there were people lined up to introduce themselves...I have realized just how nice it is to have a network of members in a place where we know absolutely no one.
-The weather! It was a tad chilly today, but most days have been 70's and 80's, sunny, with a nice breeze. We're enjoying it while it lasts!
-No TV - well, at least, I like this one. It is so nice to come home to peace and quiet with no loud TV noises in the background.
-Our apartment complex's heated pool and hot tub. Great for late-night dips!
-Being grad students = awesome. If any of you are considering graduate degrees, DO IT! You know how everyone says college is so much better than high school? Well, grad school is so much better than your bachelor's! It is wonderful to study exactly what you want to without having to take any of those nasty GE's. In the music program, we basically get to choose whatever classes we're interested in, as long as we get in all the credits we need at the end of the two years. Other than that, you choose, and there are limitless options of what to take. It is also nice to be in small classes and get a lot of one-on-one time with professors and develop a mentor-ship with them.
-Michigan accents. You didn't know there was such a thing, either? Well, just mix a bit of Minnesota with some Upstate New York and you've got a Michigan accent!

Kaiters! Now you are making me want to go to grad school! Also, let me throw out some names to see if you have met them: Linda and Mark Johnson? They are in Ann Arbor. And they are wonderful.
Hmm...haven't met them. How do you know them? How would I know them? Are they LDS people out here?
