Hello, blacktop! The biggest house news from the week is that we're no longer stirring up gravel dust every time we pull into the driveway. The pavers came Monday and Tuesday, and by Friday at lunch, we could stop taking the back way in and hiking up to the house from the beyond the garage.
I've delayed posting because I wanted to put up a picture of the new driveway, but seeing as how I haven't posted in a week and the pictures are still on the camera, I thought it was time for a photoless update.
The rug we ordered last week is supposed to arrive Monday. The cable guy is coming back Tuesday to install a jack upstairs.
In non-house news, basketball season started. We enjoyed watching Kentucky win both of their exhibition games by large margins, which we hope is an indicator that we won't be just hoping not to be embarrassed every time we head to Rupp this year.
We were excited that Barack Obama won the presidential election, but it was pretty embarrassing to see Kentucky glowing red from all the network and website maps long before any other states had been called.
I'm sad to say things aren't looking good for Laura's dad. He's home from the hospital, surrounded by family and being assisted by Hospice. Those are the bright spots.

Congrats on the driveway! Ours is mostly gravel and leaves right now, because I'm too lazy to rake and the giant tree between our front yard and the neighbor's has dropped most of its leaves.
Kentucky looked good against UMSL and not so good against the Fighting Huckabees of Ouchita Baptist, so I'm tempering my optimism slightly. That UNC game is going to either be sweet or hard to watch.
Tell Laura we're sorry to hear about her dad. That's a rough thing to deal with.
