I'm at work. This is my last week. It's kind of sad, but I am excited to start at Wharton. One funny thing is I did all this hard work to get money for projects. Now the money is coming in right after I leave so I won't get any credit--ha ha! I'm still claiming them as accomplishments on my resume.

I'm going to Vegas this weekend for a dual bachelor party. I can't believe Shawn is letting me go. She is the best wife ever. Then the movers are coming next Monday. I busted my hump on this house including remodeling the kitchen, installing central air, and installing a huge brick patio. But we made good money on it so it was worth it. I'm sure Caroline won't remember living here or her Dad being in the Navy. We will always remember it as her first house where we brought her home from the hospital, had her first Christmas, followed anxiously as she climbed up and down the stairs, and watched her scoot around on her butt instead of crawling.

I'm thinking of buying a big screen TV for our finished basement in Philly. This one: Sony 51" Widescreen. It might be a silly purchase since I'm not sure I'll have much time to watch TV, but on the other hand we're pretty likely to watch movies at home on weekends since we won't have any money. Everyone can come over to watch the game. Projection TV's are pretty cheap these days because everybody wants a plasma or LCD. You can get an awesome projection TV for $1500, one that would have cost $3000 a couple years ago. I could go buy it in Delaware with no sales tax. $150k in school loans, what's another $1500?
