A New Name

I was working in the office yesterday on wiring and insulation (if you're a building inspector for the city of Overland Park, it's replacement of an old circuit), and at one point I looked out and was struck by how beautiful one of the trees across the street is. I thought to myself, "I should take a picture so I can share the view from our window."

I didn't take a picture, because I'm lazy, and the camera batteries were dead, but the phrase was stuck in my mind.

It's been fun to work on the office, our 10% off coupon from Lowe's finally showed up, so I stocked up on all the wire, outlets, etc. that I'm going to need for the project, and last night I was able to get down to business. I made good progress today. It helps that the only games we got on TV were blowouts.

Sarah spent the day shopping with Janna, her friend from Tallahassee that came to visit for the weekend. We've either had visitors or been out of town every weekend since September 20th, and if we have company in two weeks, we'll ride that streak all the way to December.

This evening we went to Lawrence to see our friends, the Smiths. Ted and Alicia are from Nebraska and joined staff at the same time as Sarah. We watched the NU vs. OU game. I'll say this for the game, we had some great snacks.
