We are back from Nebraska. Yesterday we carpooled with Laura’s parents and arrived a little after 5PM. The landlady came right out and met us with the keys and showed us around. They have a really nice apartment in a newer part of town. Ethan will have about 4-5 minute bike ride to get to school. A couple we know who now lives in Seward are only a half block away. The complex is located right next to the water tower.

We left around noon to head back home. While we were gone the kids went to Grandma’s to water her flowers. She is currently out of town traveling for a family funeral. The kids are old enough that I did not feel too anxious about leaving them home. I’m still trying to keep tabs on how a child is doing and feeling and sometimes I get a little nervous about what the dog’s going to do. They did well while we were gone.

It feels good to check this box off so we can move on to other things. People don’t seem to understand the significance of me actually making a list. It has to sound ridiculous to be proud about it but it’s actually a great accomplishment for me. I know it I don’t need anyone to affirm that. I still need to find a dress and the decorations for the rehearsal dinner. It’s a lot to plan a wedding/be married but if you’re teachable you can do it.
