I am a 1st Degree Knight at Holy Family’s Knights of Columbus Council. Soon I will have my membership transferred to the Sacred Heart Council. I am excited to be getting more involved with my church down here in Wichita Falls. The Knights in Lawton really do a lot of good work for the Church and its Parishioners. I hope the Sacred Heart Council is as active as Holy Family’s. I am looking forward to getting my 2nd and 3rd Degrees soon!
I’ve decided to switch from Ubuntu to Debian Unstable. A couple of years back I used to use Debian exclusively, but I got a little bored with it because it always worked! Well, I’m kind of tired of Ubuntu’s graphical issues and the strange decisions Canonical makes (though I do kind of like Unity). I’ve made the switch to Debian and have both Gnome Shell and KDE installed. I tend to use Gnome Shell more, and am actually starting to like it. There are no graphical problems like Unity had (Compiz always gave me problems, even before Unity). I think I’m pretty happy with the switch!
On Sunday we went up to the local Catholic school’s Open House to see about enrolling Preston in Pre-K. I really hope that he is accepted and that we can get some kind of financial assistance to help with the tuition. I would really like it if we can get him (and Russell when he’s old enough) involved in the Catholic school. I want him to get a great education and be exposed to the Catholic faith at school as well as church and home.
I filled out our diocesan financial aid application… Wow, what a form! I even had to attach copies of my tax return and W-2s! At the school we were told that the diocese provides assistance, and then our church provides assistance, and after that, the school itself can offer a discount. Hopefully we can get the tuition down to something we can afford!
