My younger brother has done two pretty amazing things this year, (I’m sure many more, but two I now have photographic proof of).

In the fall he started a new job (a new career really) teaching high school history. Not only is this an all-around awesome occupation, karmically speaking, but it sounds as though he’s really found his passion.

Today we got a backstage pass to see the man in his classroom:

But that wasn’t enough to sate him, oh no. He also decided to buy a house! I really don’t know how he did it. The first I heard any mention of the idea was at the end of September, and by Halloween he was a bonafide homeowner. Since then he’s been cleaning, painting, moving in, teaching, furnishing, and hopefully doing some settling.

Without further ado, here is the man and his house! So cool.
