There's been so much going on. Yet, at the same time, not enough. Granted, today it's too hot to care either way. I'm trying to get school set up. Class is supposed to start Monday. I'm trying to figure out if I'll be able to get my class textbook, much less get it here in time. Everything's just hitting all at once.
Speaking of that kind of thing... one of the reasons we so short on money is due to a recent purchase. We bought a used washer/dryer. I know it sounds silly, but we've never owned one. We had once once in a place we rented 12 years ago... But other then that, it's always been having to go to see family to wash clothes, or going to a laundromat. Since we got it yesterday, we've gotten to do about 6 loads! I'm looking forward to getting everything in the house through it!
Ok, here are a few pictures from the 4th. We had a good time. Got to go to the Ice Cream Festival for a bit, (though it wasn't as cool as we thought it would be). Went home during the heat of the day then went back out for the Free Concert and Fireworks.
