"This is Bod. Sorry to have missed you. Leave a message and I'll either call you back or just come find you. It's a small dorm, it won't be that hard. Bye now."

After watching England do themselves proud with a third place finish yesterday, Bod had turned into the final of the World Cup tonight. He and Kate didn't watch a lot of sports but Bod knew well enough that this was a big deal and he had to admit, it was exciting ( Read more... )

One day, Bod hoped that he and Kate had enough of a savings, enough of a comfort cushion that they could possibly afford a house. Just something small that would be theirs. Something that they could fix up and decorate that highlighted their own likes and dislikes ( Read more... )

The small size of the apartment meant that when Seamus did use the carpet as a restroom, well, the entire apartment ( Read more... )
