Had a long talk today with my mom about my student loan issues. Any talk about them is extremely long because the issues are complicated and there are so many variables. It may cost me a few thousand dollars in the long run, but I think I'm going to wait to reconsolidate back to Direct Loans until my current company drops my interest rate next spring. Or maybe I'll end up saving a few thousand dollars in interest charges. All I know is that it means that I have to keep working for the government for the next 10 years for it to be worth it.

David and I have been looking at houses for a while, and on Friday we finally found one we're interested in. He has to have his father and uncle look at it before we put in an offer on it, though, so we're going to do that tomorrow. It does need some cosmetic work (painting, floor refinishing), and it's missing some cabinet doors in the kitchen (it looks like the previous owners walked out in the middle of a remodeling project), but there doesn't seem to be any damage to it like we've seen in so many houses. We have a ways to go, though.

Also, David's brother came back home today. He and his girlfriend have been "vacationing" in the Florida Keys for over a year now. David doesn't talk about his brother much because he hates that his brother is always stressing out their parents so much and they're always having to bail him out. I asked David if the girlfriend was going to be staying at their house too, and he said he didn't know. I guess he'll find out at breakfast!
