Scout Stuff

As I mentioned earlier, but now proves incorrect, there are 2 other deacons. It is now incorrect because Miles is a deacon now. The othere two's names are Tyler and Jordan. Jordan is the Deacon's quorom president. Anyway, yesterday at our scout meeting, the 3 (Miles is in Utah) of us planned out 4 months of our activities our by our lonesome (with the scout leader, of course). Lots of service, about 1 service project and campout a month (not at the same time, for the most part). Within these 4 months fall The Washington Jamboree (Wash Jam), which I don't quite know what it is, and Scout camp, which I do. Both of these I am signed up for. My scout leader does not yet have my scout info, but I plan on getting it from Brother Schuck soon (If a Mormon Missourian in Rolla is reading this, please have Brother Schuck email my dad about it. Thanks.). That's about all I have Scout-wise, so I make an end to this post (Which happens to have the most parenthesis in it than any other post of mine. It's ridiculous, actually, like half the text.)

Stuff

So we're pretty much all moved in. Except Dunn. He's not. The Westhoffs have been using his room for their clothes, so his stuff is still in boxes. We've done much of what there was to do, and not much remains except for plugging in the kid's computers ('Can you do it now, Dad? Can you? please?') and hanging up posters and pictures. DuPont's nice. The center of the shops and stuff is 2 miles from the house, so being kicked out for the day is an option. The trail system is nice as well. When Dad checks the bikes, I think that it might be a family home evening activity. I don't know what the school looks like on the inside, but last year was it's first year, so I'm guessing pretty nice. It's got a nice field. My reed for the saxophone chipped in the move, so I'm either going to have to use a higher level one or wait till I get a new one from a music store or something. My quest for new shoes has been partially completed, as I have new church shoes (high quality, like 70% percent off) and have permission to wear a pair of Dad's shoes. I don't have normal shoes of my own, nor do I have running shoes yet. Miles is on vacation in Utah, and I am keeping his yard up for until his dad gets home for saltwater taffy. No cash payment, please, just saltwater taffy. Its a good deal for all, I needed something to do anyway.
