i am unfinished

al fin

the last (i think) big spanish paper of my university career, done.  maybe now i'll learn how to speak spanish, ¿sí?

finally

thanks in whole to my dear friends and family, i am officially moved in.  if you wanna come see my new room, please wait until about a week after graduation.  rufus the cat is having fun exploring all the boxes and bags.  hopefully it keeps him occupied while i'm away at school.

it took about 10.3 people to move all the junk from what was my hope chest of a house to the dumpster, goodwill, storage, my mom's house, the garage and this very large room.  already i am looking around asking "why wasn't that donated?"  i must be ruthless in this next round of sorting.

thanks to my momma, wendi, joyLynn, jamie, craig, ryan, theresa, jeff, kathy and gage for all the help packing, rehousing and lifting, especially that ridiculous television.  it was fun, no?

now i look out my window upon flowers and chickens (rooster?), and enjoy shared responsibility and love.  everyone should live here.

five years gone

it sneaks up fast.  so many more things he's missed, though when i walk past the architecture building on the way to morning class, the smell of warm cut and smoothed wood brings him to me.  sometimes i wonder what he knows of us now, what he's shown or told of us.
