Summer Days and Summer Reading

So, it's been awhile since anyone posted. How is everyone's summers going? I know Lisa had her baby, I don't really know what else is up. Here's what I've been up to:

• I'm working part time, teaching summer school. It's pretty easy, only half days, 3 days a week, and only 6 weeks during the summer. It's fun. Carlos and I took a trip to Oregon to visit family. We're also headed to Colorado this weekend for a family reunion, and another family reunion in Montana in 2 weeks.
  
• Also, this summer we've been doing some house hunting. We'd like to buy a house in the Provo-Orem-Springville-Spanish Fork area since we plan on staying here for a while. Carlos still has a few years of school left, and hopefully he'll get a full-time job with BYU in the meantime. We made an offer on a house in Provo, but ended up rejecting their counteroffer because they weren't willing to budge much on their price. Perhaps in another month will offer again and see if they're more flexible by then.
  
• Oh, also, I finally got my actual motorcycle license. It took me a while because I had to keep rescheduling road tests, and I didn't pass my first road test, but recently passed my second. So now I can legally ride with passengers, so if you want a ride, let me know!

On another note, since I've had more free time during the summer, I've been doing a lot more reading. And I was thinking, maybe we could incorporate more literature into our Treason Literature Society. I propose starting a sort of online book club. We can read books and discuss them on this blog. Anybody interested? I just decided yesterday to read the book The Cay with my sister. I had never heard of it, but apparently it's a classic children's book. The basic plot summary is "Philip, a white boy, and Timothy, an old black man, must survive together on a desert island after their ship is torpedoed and Philip is blinded. But with Timothy's wise guidance, Philip learns to survive without sight, and to grow beyond his parents' racism." We could start with that book, or if anyone else has other books they'd like to suggest, I'd be glad to hear them. Please comment with your ideas!
