I’ve only got about one and a half weeks left of summer vacation. That’s okay, though. I’m kind of ready to go back. Not that I want summer to end, but I have to earn a paycheck sometime. But I’m kind of excited about the new school year. I should have some pretty small classes, and I’ve got some new ideas that I want to try out.

About a week or so ago I headed back to Benbrook to see everyone. Jon and Penny were out there, so that was nice finally being able to see them. We sort of did a birthday thing for everyone, which was kind of cool. I only got to see them over the weekend, since they had to head out on Sunday to go see Penny’s family, but I stayed a bit longer helping my sister get some of her school stuff together. I also helped them finally unpack the last of the boxes in the house. So now they are completely and officially moved in to the house.

Speaking of unpacking houses, I have decided to buy a house. I sort of made the decision the other night, and I’m pretty serious about it. I like living here with Rob, April, and Colin, but I’m tired of having the sum of my life squeezed into a tiny bedroom. And lately most of the stuff that I would like access to is in storage. So I’m just going to bite the bullet and do it. I’ve got a little saved up, and I plan on pumping all that I can from my paycheck into savings. And I’ve also done some research on mortgages, what I can afford, etc. I think I can do it. It might take a while to get where I want to be, but I can do it! Donations are gladly welcome.
