The Eternal Student

This has been a busy summer for us at home. I’m teaching two classes for summer school which keeps me busy during the day till 3:00. It almost feels like being a normal teacher that doesn’t coach two sports and teach night school. I get to come home at 3:30 instead of 7:00 at night. Weird!

Kevin had swim lessons with mommy. There are some fun pictures on Catherine’s blog that show Kevin jumping off the diving board. He’s my little dare devil. Now he asks every day to go swimming so we’ve used his little blow up pool a few times in the back yard.

This weekend is the beginning of the Wardle family vacation as well. Saunya, my big sister, is coming in town with her family. She hasn’t seen our house in over two years, and that was a 6 hour rest stop for them on their way to Oregon.  Then we’re heading to a cabin with my entire side of the family (all 36 of us) from my parents down.  We’re going to spend an entire week there just playing around. It should be lots of fun.

Finally we’re still trying to sell our home here in Idaho (anyone interested?) so we can move to Oklahoma. One way or another we’re going, but it would be nice to get this one sold and move in directly to a house out there instead of having to rent.  With the housing market like it is, not too many people are looking but two came through in the last few days so hopefully someone will put an offer on it soon.

Oklahoma is going to be interesting. When are we moving? I don’t know! Where are we moving? I don’t know. I do know classes begin August 18th, so I’d better figure all this out, and soon. Catherine and I are still really excited to go to Oklahoma and do my degree.  It’s all the detail stuff we’re not sure about. Wish us luck!

I refuse to change my colors. Unlike Catherine who changes her blog’s design just because I have decided where to go to grad school, I refuse to do it. What does that mean? Catherine changed her blog’s colors to Orange and Black, because we have decided to go to OSU! I however, am made of more solid stuff, and am going to keep my blog exactly as it is…Orange and Black… without changing anything! So there!

Seriously, we haven’t yet told Oklahoma State that we for sure are going there, but we’ve pretty much decided. We’re waiting for a letter from them explaining some “details”, and then we’ll probably tell them yes for certain (however John will probably read this first thing tomorrow morning on my blog so he’ll know right away). To set the record straight, Catherine and I thought and talked about OSU, but really wanted to go to Utah State for one glaring reason; Family. However, with the educational and financial differences between the two, Oklahoma State is just too good to pass up. So, I guess it’s official (almost): I’m going to OSU! Go Pistol Pete!

P.S. Info on my awesome trip to Spain coming soon. I had to blog about OSU first!
