Last Friday, my parents came down from Iowa and stayed in my apartment. Saturday, the moving van (actually, a semi) showed up and the movers unloaded. Saturday afternoon, my sister showed up and we all had a great time together as a family in "our home."

I have to say, the house looks really good with all the old furniture back there. My parents have a lot of work to do in the yard, though -- and no telling how long it'll be before they get fully unpacked.

I love summer. Very little is happening. I read a lot. My martial arts instructor, Forrest Griffin, fought in the UFC, and beat his opponent in the first round.
