I uploaded some more pictures to our gallery today. Today’s batch includes Kim’s Going Away party, a trip to Conneaut and a few more pics from my sister’s wedding. I still have some pictures from other miscellaneous summer happenings to get uploaded, but those will be for another day. Onward to housecleaning!

My husband has a job!!
He’s not much for details, but I am, so here you go:
The job is located an hour and fifteen minutes southeast of our current location and has excellent benefits. The pay is reasonable for this area, though it would be a definite test of my ability to be frugal if it were our only income and there were children in the house.
The goal now is to survive the commute as long as possible, then move to a location in between our two jobs and rent for a year there. By then, we should have minimal student loan debt and a big enough chunk of savings to buy a house. There are three potential roadblocks to this plan, but they fall under the category of Top Secret Future Plans, so you’ll just have to wait to see if any combination of the roadblocks become an issue.
Now, about the future location of (temporary) Casa de Buchwald… There’s an interesting story. As you may have gathered from looking at our pictures, I attended the same parish my whole life until I got married. In that lifetime, we’ve only had one priest (seen there at my baptism). When he asks you to volunteer, you just can’t say no to him, and because he’s been around for so long he’s much more like a member of the family than just “the parish priest.” Father has been telling me, since before my wedding, about every house he sees for sale in town. All summer long, he’s been telling me about the house of an older parishoner who is moving to Florida to be with her family. Our response is always “Find Matt a job.” We still have no plans to buy the house he keeps mentioning, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that it’s exactly the same amount of travel time from the church* to both of our jobs. I’m chalking this one up to the power of prayer.
*Matt asked me to check travel time from the town where the church is located, and since the church’s address is the only one I know, it was the easiest point of reference to provide to mapquest.
