The End Is Near

Ahhh...only a few more things to do. Then I am out of here. Forever. No more ISU. Well, technically, I have another year, but it won't be spent here.

Let's recap:

-Printer died two weeks ago. Epson printers are not my friends. This is my 5th printer in 2 years. Apparently, there is a class action lawsuit being filed against them. I might get some cash out of that deal.
-Air conditioning in the Honda also died. I have no freon in my car. There are holes or cracks of some sort. Estimated cost to fix it: $839.40. Hmmm...I will be making another really hot drive to Quincy next weekend for the Nobis-Mitchell shindig.
-Computer crashed. Apparently my hard drive was corrupted. No idea what that means, but the good news is that my dad, the IT super hero, was able to recover everything. All of my documents, music, and most importantly, my pictures, have been backed up in at least 3 places now.
-Moving out is still up in the air. I need a moving truck. Anyone have any suggestions?
-Wedding season is upon us. I have some very busy weekend coming up.
-I only have a few more weeks with Sammy. We have been having a great week. Despite the fact that he had a really hard day at school yesterday, we had a blast last night. He is just so creative. I will really miss them, but it will be nice to have the summer off.
-Applying for a house in Chicago. Keep those fingers crossed.
-My brother is graduating from U of I on Mother's Day. I am so proud of him. I got to see him for a little while last weekend. He is so grown up...moving to Chicago, has a fancy-pants job. What a life.
-No final exams. Only a few more papers to go. Praise God.
-My family will be arriving from Nairobi on June 16th. WOO HOO!!!
-Another big wedding in June. Sarah and Nick are getting married on the 23rd.
-Church camps, rock climbing excursions, vacations, babysitting, learning to play Midnight Cheerios...so many fun things to look forward to!
-Meeting up with some other friends from Nairobi in July. Good times ahead.

That's about it. Looking forward to seeing some good friends very soon.

I don't have time to read this let alone post but since you've had such a long stretch in between posts figured it deserved a shot. Sounds like things are rocking along in your corner of the world. Glad to hear it!! See you soon!

hmm... my neon had a leak in it's refrigerant line too... you can buy cans of the stuff at walmart for like 5 bucks and a little kit and charge it up for way cheap. You'll have to do it a couple times a year, but it's way cheaper than $800! Maybe it could work for you too???

Can't wait to see you next weekend!
