It's good to be home! Mark and I haven't been away from home for that long before, and it sure does feel good to be back! We were able to leave the Grand Rapids area on Friday around 2pm, so we got home by 6pm, which was much earlier than we originally expected. We are all unpacked, and I've been able to do the grocery shopping. Thankfully, I cleaned this apartment before we left, so I didn't have that chore to do this weekend! We were also able to come home with mostly clean clothes, so I haven't had to do laundry yet, either. It's funny how being away for four weeks can really make you appreciate the small things about your own home. For example, we're really loving our spacious shower (we had a curved curtain rod installed when we moved in). I'm also thrilled to be back in my own kitchen, which is about twice as big as the one we were using in MI. It also has all my stuff in it--which I missed more than I expected. Hooray for small pleasures!
It's amazing to think that our summer is almost over, though. The first day of school is only two weeks from today! In the meantime, Mark has lots of studying to do in order to prepare for a round of big exams shortly after school starts, and I've got two days this week and next week of placement testing with my department (that's extra pay for me, so no complaints there!). I was fairly successful at planning for my fall classes while we were gone, but I do have a bit left to do. I think it can wait till next week! :-)
