To answer your obvious first question, things with Kelley are going swimmingly. It's like each day is the best day, but then the next day is better. She's pretty awesome. My favorite part of our relationship is how often we can see each other. It's usually not planned, either. Like, I'll post on Twitter and Facebook about doing Campus Cam for CollegeLife one morning, and she'll come sit with me after her class. Or when she forgot about Daylight Savings two weeks ago and showed up to church an hour before she needed to be there, we went out for breakfast at Whataburger. All around greatness.
My CFL team is killing. I captain the Hurricanes, and we are holding first place at 7-1. I suppose technically we're tied for first, but we have more overall points and a higher point differential than the other team. Many more. And much higher. My team is great. We usually have just enough players to play the two games each Saturday morning, and I am physically hurting each Sun-Tues. But we play very well as a team. We spread the ball around so well that I'm pretty sure everyone has scored at least one touchdown. Everyone does their job on defense so well that most everyone who's played off the line has gotten at least one interception. Whether we have everyone there or hardly anyone there, we all play hard and play hard together. I love it.
My grandma is in Texas. There has been a lot of family drama over the last few weeks, but I think it's beginning to come to an end. It has resulted in Grandma moving from Missouri to Texas into an assisted living center within walking distance from my parents' house. I'm going over tonight to help move some furniture items out of a moving truck. The only bad part of that story is that Grandpa is still in a hospital in Missouri. We're not entirely sure what's going to happen to him over the next few weeks, so please pray for his mental and physical health. I haven't ever lived in the same city as my grandparents, so this should be pretty neat!
We interns had our monthly Supperfest last night. In July, we manterns wanted to show the femterns how much we appreciated them (as they are compensated in no way whatsoever for their service to CollegeLife), so we had them all over for dinner and games. They wanted to cook for us the next month, but we said, "No! That defeats the whole point of what we were doing! We wanted to treat you!" But they would have none of it. They cooked for us in August, we played more games, and Supperfest was born. Every month, we've been trading off who hosts whom. Last night we played no games, and instead just talked. It was nice. I don't see most of the girls on a regular basis, so it's good to reconnect each Supperfest. We have a great group of interns this year. Really great.
My housemates are the best, too. Taylor and I have been sharing the big room ever since LoPresti moved down from Virginia. Taylor is a lot like my brother Daniel, actually. Scientific, technical, similar sense of humor, same age, similar personality and character. It's a little creepy. Either way, we get along pretty well. All the guys do, really. It's pretty swell. I'm glad for each of them being here.
Man, that was much longer than I anticipated. Sorry about that. I'll leave you with my three most favorite classical pieces of all time:
- The Firebird Suite by Igor Stravinsky
- Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin
- Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major by Johann Sebastian Bach

Irony that the one time I look at everyone's blog updates, it's the same day as your newest posting.
Silly boy, I am glad your life is going 'swell.' I will NOT see you tomorrow, as in a working way. =D I will rejoice with my time to myself.
