Does this describe us?

Last night, I stayed up late reading A Patriot's History of the United States by Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen. Tanner and I are trying to prepare for the United States History CLEP. If we can pass the test, then it means one less class that Tanner has to take at A&M. Which would cut his semester hours from 18 to 15.

Anyway...I stayed up late reading this book and came across this quote which seems very descriptive of us. It's Alexis de Tocqueville when he visited the USA in the early 1800's: An American will build a house in which to pass his old age and sell it before the roof is on...He will plant a garen and rent it just as the trees are coming into bearing; he will clear a field and leave others to reap the harvest; he will take up a profession and leave it, settle in one place and soon go off elsewhere with his changing desires. If his private business allows him a moments relaxation, he will plunge at once into the whirlpool of politics.

So, I am comforted to know that I married a true American.
