And it's almost over. Classes begin on August 28th, and much to my surprise, I am beginning to feel ready for them. The summer is beginning to feel a little long. I'm running out of things to do at my internship, although I am working hard to find more projects to work on, as I have two weeks left. Being in Minnesota is getting a little old-- I am ready to be back in New York, so its nice to know that in two and a half weeks, I will no longer be living in my temporary housing (also known as my old bedroom at my parents house). It has been a really boring summer--thus the lack of posting. The farthest I have traveled is to Brainerd on two occasions-- once for a wedding, and later for the 4th of July. The interesting thing is, I had thought that maybe spending the summer here would clarify if we should move back here post-graduation next spring. But, right now I am feeling open to any possibilities. I guess we will need to wait and see what the future brings (like theoretically a job for when I'm done).

The Parents Paid a Visit
My long, mundane summer was broken up a bit last week by my parents showing up in town for around 9 days. We hiked, we grilled, we talked theology, I got exhausted. All in all, a good time was had by all. I am not kidding when I say we hiked though, it may surprise those of you who know my parents, but they are some hard-core hikers...at least for 64 year olds. Monday we did Taughannok Falls, Tuesday we drove the middle of the Finger Lakes region, Wednesday we did Treman State Park, Thursday I only worked, Friday was the Ithaca tour, Saturday was Watkins Glen, Sunday was more Ithaca and the Farmers Market. My parents were pretty blown away by the beauty of the area, and agreed that it was one of the best areas they have ever visited. Let that be incentive to any of you who are thinking about visiting us in the next year! To add to the enticement, here are some pictures for your optical enjoyment.
