Changes

Well, Heidi is officially over on the east coast, all settled into her new life at Bucknell University. She has been practicing really hard with daily tripples and eating, sleeping, breathing volleyball. She has her first tournament this coming weekend and my parents are going to fly out there to watch because it is at the airforce academy in Colorado Springs, CO. I wish that I could go but alas, I will be here taking the first of 4 sections of the CPA examination.

My dad has decided to get a dog. I think it is a great idea since all 4 of us kids have grown up and moved out and now it is just my dad and mom all alone. They are getting a little girl boarder collie who gets to come home at the beginning of September!

In other animal news, I am thinking about getting a kitty. I want a dog but since I am gone all the time and would feel really guilty about leaving a dog alone, I think I will get a cat. I would like to get a Maine Coon and would prefer to rescue one from the shelter. If it is already litter box trained, that would be prrrrrfect!

Nick is still over yonder in Ontario. George just drove over there for a few weeks and the two of them are going to go to McCall for the weekend. I feel really guilty admitting it but I am so relieved to have my own space for a few weeks. I dont want to be a bitter individual, nor do I want to come accross as ungrateful or depressed, however, there are times when I want my own space and because of my living situation, I never get it. Nick and I have been going back and forth about purchasing a home, purchasing land, purchasing something. I know that he wants to buy something but at times I am convinced that it is never going to happen. It takes everything I have to stop and convince myself not to be so pessimistic. I know. Terrible.
