This is good: I'm moving in on August 23 (going back home for two weeks but putting my stuff in), so I'd like to know by then...

I'm not sure about everybody in one room. I for myself wouldn't mind having a space to call my own, perhaps a desk to do work. I'm also very much for having one of the three rooms open for a living room/guest room/tv room/whatever else room.

How does three and two sound for the fall semester, and then three and three for the spring? Thoughts?

I don't have much I'm bringing by way of kitchen supplies...a couple bowls and utensils, some plastic forks and knives from RA activities...I have a bookcase there already, a small one I'm not where I'm putting quite yet...

See ya'll! And Ryan, how did the show go? Hopefully well!

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

First, I'm glad to hear your trip went so well Dan. I look forward to hearing more about it!

I have a few questions about next year that while not pressing are something I think would be appropriate for this blog.

1. What kind of room arrangements are people thinking about? Having talked to Shane most frequently while I was off-campus, I've heard everything from having 2 people in each of the 3 rooms to having us all in one room. For the most part it doesn't matter that much to me. The only thing I would mention is that I have a reclining Lazy-boy loveseat currently at the Parletts'. It doesn't matter to me whether it stays or goes (I can think of a couple townhouses that would be glad to have it). Additionally, my grandmother offered to let us have her couch (it's like 25 years old and she's getting a new one). It's pretty long and comfortable despite being old. So I don't know how those play into the picture, but there it is. Thoughts?

2. I know it's only just July but I think about these things a lot. I've already started to acrue some things for the Parlett house kitchen. I have about 16 cups/glasses (plastic) that are all the same that I got from work. I also have flour and sugar canisters and a metal spetula. For whatever reason, when my family got new pots and pans, we kept all the old ones which are still in pretty good condition. It includes 2 frying pans, 2 sauce pans and a kettle. The coup de grĂ¢ce is a Cuisinart food processer that I picked up at an estate sale for $15. I was way pumped about this purchase. That's about all that I know I'll definitely bring. Does anyone else have anything major (or minor) they plan on bringing?

Hope you're all doing well! I'll have a life update post soon but I wanted to do this one while I remembered. Goodnight!

Hey,

This is going to ba a short post that's really a teaser for a longer post, because I'm tired and jetlagged and need to go to bed.

Italy (and France), and seeing Susanna was AWESOME!!!!! (and that's an understatement)

Anyway, I've got some pictures, and some stories that I'll share another time.

You guys are weird. I don't even think I'll try to catch up on the blog posts about fantasy armies and such...

Then again...maybe I'll change my mind when I'm not so tired.

Good night.

Blessings In Christ,

Dan
