Mi Casa Nueva

Alright, here's the update. Not necessarily as requested, but nonetheless, here it is. So I decided to take a trailer . . .
. . . up to Washington because it would be less expensive. It was less expensive, but took much longer to travel. That's okay because I ate lots of sugar in the process. So we (my parents and I) traveled safely and arrived in Washington to meet my roommate. He has an amazingly beautiful house . . .


. . . and a kind little dog . . .



. . . named after Pope Chewie III. In this beautiful house with the happy little dog I have my happy little bathroom . . .

. . . with a tub . . .



. . . so deep that I can actually take a bath in it. I haven't had one of those since before I was 12. Of course that has nothing to do with the fact that I shot up a few feet in a few years.

And of course here is my room . . . (don't mind the mess, I'm still getting organized).

So today I had baked potatoes, chili, and cheese for dinner on the countertop with a glass of milk, while staring out the back door into the yard. The screen door had been open for nearly 1 1/2 hours and after Pope Chewie III knew that I wasn't going to beat him to death for stepping outside, he did so and played for a while. He was jumping around the grass, chasing a few bugs, and having a jolly old time. In seeing him do this, he reminded me of myself. I am very careful and cautious. When I know there is nothing to be concerned about, then I go full speed ahead and have a blast. Although personally, I'm not afraid that I'm going to be beaten anymore. At least, not since I moved out of my parents house. (For those of you that can't hear the sarcasm, that last part was oozing with it.)

Estoy Aqui

Well, this is just a quick post to say that I arrived safely. The place I'm at is awesome, so I will be posting some pictures within the next few days. I do however need food and to get acclimated, so this is what will take awhile.

Good Riddance

To those of you who are receiving this (and some who are not), today is my last day at IHC. Thanks to those of you who have become good friends. I have had a lot of fun here and will miss you all. If you haven't heard, I will be going to Pacific Lutheran University in Washington next week. So if you want to contact me you can e-mail me at:

throckjr@plu.edu

Also, I have a blog set up at http://www.turbollama.blogspot.com/ which will be similar to an online journal. It may not contain anything too exciting, but it will have random tidbits and updates about my life if you're interested. Thanks for everything.

I Moved

And you all know where I moved to. So the hardest part of the move is done. To reward myself I got myself a new computer.

the tower with the lights off

Also I realized after filling the Tuff Shed . . .

space, glorious space

. . . with my stuff, I unintentionally left it like this . . .

my secret hideout

At least I have a place to sit down when I need it. Anyway, just wanted to share.
