Well, I think I've finally worked out the technical kinks with the blog. It hasn't been letting me in since I've been back to school (about a week now). Everything is good in my wonderful world. I'm just starting to realize how much I'm going to miss this place when I don't have the opportunity to live here. Notre Dame truly is a special place, and anyone who has been here knows what I'm talking about. Thus, I'm going to enjoy this year as much as possible and appreciate everything ND has to offer.

As for my summer, most people reading this probably already know that Lauren and I got engaged on July 15th. However, I can't tell you enough how amazing everything has been. Our relationship has grown and grown, and I'm really excited about this next step. For those of you who don't know, I proposed to Lauren in front of the fountains at the Bellagio. It was a great night, and everything has been equally wonderful since then.

There's not too much else going on for me at the moment. I can't watch the US Olympic basketball team because they're so awful and frustrating to watch. I've just been spending the last few days getting my dorm's section ready for the freshmen to move in. I can't wait for the first ND football game (September 4th at BYU). It's gonna be awesome. Holla at me.
