End of Summer

Nothing terribly exciting has been going on over here lately. On Saturday, we rented a carpet cleaner and, as part of moving everything off the carpets, ended up rearranging the entire apartment. It is really nice to finally be able to walk on our carpets with no shoes on and not end up with black feet (I don't think the carpets here have been cleaned in years). Also, the way we arranged both the living room and bedroom made it so we have so much more space. We got rid of a bunch of clothes we never wear and threw out some things we never use. Now all we have left to tackle is going through and organizing a pile of papers on the dresser...

The public schools are beginning on July 30th (really early), so hopefully I'll be getting some calls for substitute teaching soon. Meanwhile, I'm just trying to keep the house spotless and going to the Aquarium once a week.

Adam started school yesterday. He is taking a religion class (Achieving Eternal Marriage) and Pathogenic Microbiology. I'm going to try to attend the Eternal Marriage class with him when I can, and Adam is excited about the Pathogenic Microbiology class since he really enjoyed General Microbiology and it is being taught by the same professor.

Oh, I guess something "exciting" did happen to us recently. On my way home from the Aquarium on Wednesday, I noticed a light blinking on my dashboard. I pulled into a 7-11 and realized my radiator had cracked. Long story short, we ended up driving it (slowly) home a few days later, and it is sitting in our parking spot until we figure out what to do with it. Fortunately, we have a bunch of amazing friends who are always there to help us out when we need it. For now, one of our home teachers has offered to take a look at it and see what he can do...

That's about it for now. Hopefully we do something more interesting soon.
