Where there's a will...

I went to set up my will the other day. It won't be ready for another three weeks, but it was important that I have it established. The lawyer I met with was very nice, and very helpful. I would have liked to have waited until Gemma was done with law school, but that won't be for a couple of years and I kind of need this done sooner than that. So instead I made her a secondary beneficiary...I've been trying to reach her to let her know this, but our schedules have been conflicting and we haven't really had a chance to talk. All in all, I'm happy with what I have set up, but I hope I it doesn't have to be used any time in the near future. Patrick and I have set up a joint savings account. It is a little weird for me, just because I have never shared an account with someone before, but we figured this was the best way to start saving money as well as paying for our storage unit. This way, we have "our" money as well as having our individual accounts (which are kept private!). This should be interesting.
Patrick and I have pretty much completed our course work for the summer semester. We are in the middle of Basic Life Support right now which isn't too much fun when it goes from 8 am to 1 pm and then I get to go to work from 2:45 pm to 11:30 pm and start all over again bright and early the next day. Fortunately, it is only 2 days, so after tomorrow we'll be done. Course work for the fall begins on August 22nd, which gives us a nice little break. Just enough to get some light reading in.
Speaking of, I finished the 6th Harry Potter (amid school work and work) and REALLY enjoyed it. It was pretty sad, but I thought one of the better of the 6 books written. Patrick just finished it as well, and I have never seen him read a book so quickly.
All in all, not a bad way to end the summer.
