Well, I think I've finally made it to real life. I'm no longer a college student, and I no longer depend on my parents for, well, anything. Except when I have to call home to ask Dad a computer question or ask mom how long to boil eggs to make hard-boiled eggs (no joke, I did that several days ago. And then I made egg salad.). So anyway, I've certainly been introduced to real life in the last month or so--cleaning house, doing laundry, cooking, working, paying bills, even having the workers overnight. Just getting used to living alone with another human has been interesting. And it's been a 99% positive experience thus far. The other 1%, when it's not so positive, is usually my own fault. But it's been great! I can't believe it's already been over a month ago that we tied the knot--this summer is flying by. Convention is just around the corner! Andrew and I have helped out at the Yellow Springs grounds a couple days in the past week, which was nice. The big work day is this Saturday, so we'll both go over for that, too. It takes only about 25 to 30 minutes to drive to the grounds from our house.
So I wanted to include a photo of our first worker visit from Dale Parker and John Wilbur. They spent last Saturday night with us and had lunch at our house Sunday after meeting. I made Tootsie's meat loaf recipe and mashed potatoes. The visit made it feel like Andrew and I were actual "grown ups" and we had a nice time with them. John figured he wouldn't be in our field again since this was his fifth year in the area, so he wanted to get to our house before preps started. It turns out we'll have Curtis Bauske and Mike Price in our field this next year. I'm glad our little house is sort of big enough for company. One of the workers will always have to sleep in the living room on the pull-out couch because we only have one spare bedroom, but it works. I hope they'll feel comfortable enough to visit often!
That'll be enough for this entry, I think. I hope I have more time now to write regularly, but we'll see what happens!
