Mandi and I came down to Columbia, MO on Tuesday, February 24.  We have had a terrific time getting to know downtown Columbia and the outlying areas, as well as scooting in and out of the subdivisions searching for just the right house (we both think we've found it!).  Mandi had an interview Wednesday with a pharmacy in town, and she also has a couple interviews Friday with the U of M pharmacies.  Today (Thursday) we looked at around 20 houses with our realtor, went for a run in the 50-degree weather, and enjoyed a swim at the hotel (Drury Inn--excellent place with reasonable prices, excellent service, huge rooms, high speed internet, breakfast, and 3 mixed drinks per person per night).  However, I believe we'll charge less per night to stay at our house, and since we have 2 bedrooms upstairs with their own private bathroom, we expect to have very pleased visitors.
