Morel Hunting

Spring Break is officially over. It was a pretty great week, I guess. My parents are moved into their new home. It's a nice house, and I think they both have a lot of good ideas on how to improve it. The backyard it the best part. It's huge, and it has a great little area for a lot of gardening, and a swing set that reminds me of the swing set Cara and I used to have. It will be fun watching Sam and any other future grandchildren my parents have play back there. I think Milo and Moses will love it, too.

I worked early in the morning on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, So I didn't get to sleep in too much, but I was able to nap a lot and read a bit (less than I had intended... sad). I'm glad summer is almost here. I feel like I have some major reading that I want to do, but school just seems to get in the way of that. If you have any suggestions for me, I'm all ears. Oh also, for those married people out there, Kevin and I are looking for a... pre-marriage preparation book that we can read together. I've look on Amazon a little, but most of them don't have any customer reviews, so I have no idea what is actually good. Let me know what you think.

Yesterday, Kevin and I went to Greencastle with his dad to hunt mushrooms. We went to a few places that Kevin's dad called the "deep woods," but we weren't convince that we were really that deep. It was quiet, though. We were looking for black morels, but I guess it was just a little too early for them. We found exactly zero mushrooms, but we did manage to dig up a sassafras root. Kevin and I are going to make tea with it later today. It smells so good.

I'm back at work in the computer lab this morning. All of the hiking from yesterday left me a little sore and waking up wasn't that easy, but I would consider it a pretty successful Spring Break.

My friend Carolyn might be having a baby today. She went in bright (actually it was still dark) and early this morning. They are keeping a blog updated with new events, and I have a feeling that my day will mostly consist of clicking the refresh button on that Web site. Oh, baby.
