Holy crap, is this my second post of the day?! Whoa! This is some serious shenanigans!
Snow in October: Nope, not in Texas. Nolan and I made a quick trip up to Minnesota to visit my folks, Jeff, and Jeff's boyfriend. We flew up on Wednesday evening and came back on Monday. It was pretty low-key, which was exactly what I wanted. Nolan had a blast hanging out with his grandparents, and I had a blast letting him getting spoiled with attention.

We had a great mini-vacation, and it would have been fun to see more people but time just did not allow for it to happen. The good news, though, is that plane tickets from MSP to DFW are significantly cheaper than from MSP to Spokane. I anticipate Nolie and I making more trips up to Minnesota in the coming months.
Der Schule: School is coming along well. I'm taking three full-time classes which definitely keeps me busy, but I'm not overwhelmed (thank God). I'm hoping to be done after winter quarter. One of my instructors is being very helpful with finding substitute classes for me to take online, which will help me graduate after next quarter. Huzzah!
Overall: Things in Texas are going better. We've gone out to dinner a couple of times with Brian's Italian co-worker and his lady-friend, and I've gotten on friendly terms with a couple of people at Lifetime Fitness. I still think Texas is ugly and stupid, but it's not so bad. We're beginning to discover a rhythm, and the fact that we are less than two months away from being in our house is just awesome.

Moving forward: Stay tuned for more updates on our house. We'll be going by there this weekend to see how it's coming along.
