Long Time, No Write

it has been forever since i have written. things have been busy. or when they have not been busy i've been reading. i am so glad i'm slowly getting sucked back into the life of books. i used to be such a good reader. it was all i ever did when i had a free moment. but then college took over my life and it was difficult to balance all of the many things that college slams at you and my mom was sick and i didn't really ever want to think so i spent all of my free time on the computer.
but thankfully i think i have learned how to prioritize my time so i can now enjoy a good book.

i think i am actually doing well in school this semester. so far. i don't want to jinx it. i'm trying to pull of 2 As, 2 Bs, and Pass/No Grade.
The Pass/No Grade will be for French and I can go ahead and tell you that I am doing VERY BAD in French so it will most likely be a No Grade. That's not to say I'm not trying- I probably could be trying harder- but I would rather focus my time on my religion classes than spending hours and hours trying to learn all of the French that I should've learned in high school but somehow didn't.
The other class I am worried about is Geography. Greg is a Geography master. I'm amazed and jealous everytime I ask him a question about a place on map- not only can he pinpoint the place in less than 30 seconds but he can also tell me 7 random facts about the place. I am not spending enough time studying Geography and we have tests every week- that's a short amount of time to learn about a country and then have a test over it. It's a 1000 level class but the professor treats it like it's a 3000 level class, that's annoying.

Today is a good day so far. It seems like it will remain a good day. Greg and I got coffee early this morning and then we went to Central Market where it was nice and quiet and I bought little fall squashes and pumpkins to decorate my balcony with. I then went home and spent an hour re-organizing my closet and dresser and I have a nice pile of clothes to donate now!

Greg is doing so much better than he was a week ago. He's moving faster and he's off pain medications. He went to work yesterday- a half day. I just hope that once he's healed the pain he's been experiencing will go away for good.

OH. The biggest news is that I'm moving. Well technically not me. But my parents. My mom and step-dad. I've lived in our house in Plano for about 15 years (granted the last 3 have been spent in Fort Worth but I've spent holidays and summers there and it's still my home) but ever since my parents got married they have wanted to move to Dallas. Paul works in Dallas and my mom wants to be closer to the church, etc etc. Well they've had some setbacks to keep them from moving right away but they finally found a townhome that they really really really like. So they put down a contract on it a couple of days ago and in about a month we will have a new house.
I wonder if it will still feel like home?
I'm exicited and a little anxious and very nostalgic.
