The Status of Things

There is only a month left in my first quarter at my new job. Most days things go pretty well. Brian is still in Iowa, but everyday the house gets closer to being on the market. Last weekend Clara and I went to see Brian. We had a wonderful time seeing the progress on the house and seeing friends. When it was time to leave, though, it was hard to say goodbye to Brian, who we miss, but also to a house that we have invested ourselves in and that has provided us with so many wonderful memories. Brian took a video of everything and I took pictures of the inside of the house. I forgot to take pictures of the outside, though, mostly because I didn't want to take my crying eyes outside. But, our neighbor took some pictures of the outside of the house and sent them to us via e-mail. That actually prompted me to post them here, so that faithful readers can see the finished product (at least of the outside). Brian has the computer with the photo software, so it might be awhile before I post pictures of the inside.
