School hasn't officially started yet, but I am back on campus fairly regularly now. I have meetings of all kinds and I am trying to be a little better prepared for the start of this semester than I have been in semesters past (not looking promising!)
I do, however, have something to look forward to this semester - besides the genuine thrill I get from teaching (I am serious about that!) - we are going to Utah for Christmas and New Year's! Just got the tickets last night! We were initially going to get a flight that connected from Philadelphia through Houston to Salt Lake City; however, we waited until Wednesday to purchase the tickets because we had heard that airlines post new and good deals on Wednesdays. Our wait paid off. For just $2 more per ticket we found a non-stop from Philadelphia to Salt Lake City! We were also able to use our credit card rewards to purchase one of the tickets, so we only needed to pay for three (our daughter is still young enough to not require a seat.) I am so looking forward to being with family for Christmas. It will be the first time most of them have seen our daughter in person (she'll be 1 - and probably walking!) They will also be amazed at how tall the boys are (and how old and gray I look.)
Looking forward to December,
Brad
