It’s been awhile since I’ve really posted anything of significance on this site, so here is what I’ve been up to lately…
- We bought land! We close on it Monday afternoon and we are very excited. We’ve had our eyes on this land for over two years and we had thought it was off the market, but it returned at a much lower price, so we nabbed it! It is four acres outside the city of Ada (suburb of Grand Rapids) and is in a very good school district, given we end up with kids someday. We have now taken to riding around neighborhoods and commenting on what we like/dislike about houses. I drew a master plan for our house tonight at Macaroni Grill; it’s pretty funny.
- I am taking graduate classes through the mail. The company is called Learner’s Edge and it is much less complicated than attending a university, especially since the work load is lighter and I don’t actually ever have to attend a class–it is self-guided and I do it at my pace. Good stuff!
- Ben found and helped his mom purchase a house in Grand Rapids. While she is travel nursing, his sister Marie is living in the house with friends and Toby. Yes, Toby has been returned to his rightful owner, and Rapinland is a little less hairy–literally and figuratively!
That’s the full updated list as I have it. It has not been a tremendously eventful summer, but ah, the summer is still young!
