Montz described it as an "adult cartoon"

7:35 pm College Station, TX

I'm very happy to inform you all that I am currently reading the first addition to the 407 coffee table that will be located in our living room next to the toile couch (right, anna?). The title? You may ask. "Welcome to Tranquility" by Gail Simone. For those of you that have not taken ENGL 374, Gail Simone writes comic books. That's right. I'm reading a 142 page comic book. Let me take a few lines to describe the cover of this $19.99 book. Of the 12 semi-human looking characters on the front, 5 are in spandex, 3 are in white hooded suits...weird, and 4 are in lab coats. Another intersting observation: two of the girls are wearing bunny ears with their pink somewhat low cut (oh wait, no, incredibly low cut) spandex outfits. Final note: one of the characters is a skeleton. Ebay it. Buy it. Read it in one long sitting. Love it forever. Get ready roomies, you guys can share in august.

I'm wrapping up my final week of summer session I. "Women Writers" has been riveting. Dr. Montz really knows how to rock a class of eleven. My last day of work at the Children's Museum of Brazos Valley, CMBV if you will, is tomorrow. Don't worry kids, I'll be back in August. Big news, five representatives from the Fightin' Texas Aggie football team made an appearance two weeks ago. Yes, I met THE 12th Man. We're dating. I've tweaked my resume over the past month in college station. Professional Dino Camp bone excavator, 'Reading Rocks' 11:00 storyteller, 'Monday Madness' AND 'Wacky Wednesday' arts and crafts director. Anyways, I've been busy. My future employees will pay me the big bucks.

Miss all of you so much. Don't get me wrong, I really am glad you guys are having incredible summers, but I'm about ready to wrap this one up. Bring it home team. Let's close this chapter.
I'm praying for you all. I know it's been said, but this past month spent without most of you has been quite an awakening. We have an incredible home base. The guys and girls that we have surrounded ourselves with for two years now has been a blessing. A rare blessing.

Guys, thanks for being our rock. Girls, back me up, they've held this team together. Thanks for the houses, the encouragment, and the example you all have set. Yes, I knew this before you all left, but seeing what most girls have come to expect as normal in a guy has reminded me of how little we have thanked all of you.

Girls, thanks for being genuine. I hear some pretty interesting stories from my coworkers at the museum. It's hard to explain why it's important to have girl friends that hold you accountable on issues other than clothes and makeup. I really can't wait to catch up with all of you. dinner. dessert. as long as there's food. and hot gossip. kidding.

Sorry for the cheese, but I've had alot of time to think. Be safe. Take a million more pictures. Come back with stories. Get ready for a few more hangout spots come August. And I'm sure all the girls will agree, we welcome brownies, cookies, low fat yogurt parfaits, and any other creative house warming gift you guys choose to bring to our new front doors.

This post is perfect, and makes me miss you incredibly.

I can totally hear you saying "Bring it home team."

And I couldn't agree more.

I've been learning the exact same things. And while I love being where I'm at, I am most excited about coming back to "home base".

I got ya'll a housewarming gift from Germany! Well, maybe I bought it for Katie, but you will all be able to enjoy it nonetheless.
