Oh, I am so behind on these things. I would have liked to have done seperate Happy Birthday posts, but I am late on all of them so they’ll just have to be lumped into one big post. Shame on you all for having birthdays so close together.
To Noah on the 25th- Happy birthday, my [...]

True to form, my first day back is going to be full and crazy, so I’ll keep this short. For anyone who might be wondering, I survived my trip to Ohio. I arrived home safely last night, though my luggage did not.

We have moved! Hooray! I’ve hung curtains, unpacked my books, washed my first (and second) set of dinner dishes in the dishwasher and helped relight the pilot on the furnace. Life is good here.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, cat and dogs, I just got off the phone with Crystal. It is official, we own a mortgage. And as a plus they gave us a house along with it! Hooray!
We have been caught up in the ups and downs of this particular house for the past eight [...]

Well folks, life is proceeding at a pace. It happens to be a break-neck pace, but it’s still a pace. We are still slated to move tomorrow though there was a minor paperwork glitch that could makes things interesting. The seller is hoping to move out on Saturday, but I’m still kinda nervous about that. [...]
