Reading back over your comment I saw that you specified travel dates, which will make finding cheaper fares more difficult. You'd have better luck if you traveled mid-week, maybe Thursday-Thursday. The best I'm finding is $287 on Orbitz and $344 on Expedia.
One trick is to check all the airline websites every couple days to see if you catch any good deals or just to get a feel for which ones are cheaper, more flexible, etc. Trust me on this. I love to fly but I have about as much money as you do so I have to be resourceful. Air Tran offers cheap flights too, but they have almost no leg room and not nearly as good of a frequent flyer program.
Stick with it. You have 90 days until you want to leave (and I have 87, but who's counting?), so you have all kinds of time.
