In addition to all the robot-army-building that needs to be done, Chris and I are getting ready to say our good-byes to good ole Allentown. Yup. On Friday we will settle on a house in Perkasie, PA, which is about 20 minutes south of Allentown. It’s going to be sad to leave the house I have lived in since I came to KU. We’ve put so much work into it…refinished floors, new bathroom, updated the kitchen, painted…painted…painted, new patio, gardens… I’ll tell ya, it’s been a lot of rewarding work.

We put our house on the market last week and have our first open house this Sunday. Wow. It’s going to be more of a hike for me now–about 50 minutes–but being closer to her family and to Philly will balance that commute a bit.

The nice thing is that we will now have a little back yard with a big deck. And, we’re just a few blocks from about 5 miles of parkland. All good. And…for those of you who do not already know…it will be a great house for our KID! That’s right, come October Chris and I will welcome a little one into our lives. I can’t wait! So, that’s the big reason for the move…

So, in addition to trying to get my head back into work and ready for the fall semester, I’ll be in the process of moving for the next month. The next MONTH you say? Yup…we’re moving slowly…hoping our house will sell soon…and then going up to the Adirondacks for about 10 days for fun in the mountains and lakes. We even managed to coordinate our trip with the weekend of my Dad’s clambake. Now that’s something we just couldn’t miss.

Back to work I go…

90 degrees. Mostly sunny. Clouds beginning to roll in bringing the possibility of thunderstorms!

Can’t stop thinking about the clambake
