quick update

Sorry it's been a while, things have been crazy, no really they have. Today I didn't even get a chance to sit at my desk at work, then I had to leave for school and had about 25 minutes to study for a lab test (which I have a mid-term for on Thursday), I've had a nasty head/sinus cold thingy going on for a week now which I'm losing my voice over (luckily Dan thinks it's kind of sexy), I have craft projects screaming my name, and a major career decision to make within the next week... maybe this is why I'm not prego yet? I think things will settle down soon but if anyone knows of any good relaxation techniques, please share! I think I did well on my lab test and my mid-term will be over with soon enough, I'm hoping to expel this cold by Thursday thanks to a hot bath and sleep, we no longer have to prepare lessons for Sunday School as we're now in the nursery, I'll work on my craft stuff on Saturday, and I'm leaving the career decision up to Heavenly Father... although I'm pretty sure of the direction I'm supposed to go. I have somewhat forsaken yoga due to time constraints but am planning to schedule it in once it's gets too cold to run outside. Oh, and I have a trip to see my family in AZ to look forward to, along with the holiday season! Also, Dan is the best husband EVER and has lovingly assumed the role of housekeeper in doing the laundry, dishes, making dinner, and even rubbing my back to help me fall asleep. That's right ladies, he's the best and he's all mine!

Labor Day Weekend

We had a blast with Eric, Becky, and Joshua over Labor Day weekend. This is one of our favorite times of the year in Colorado Springs. We enjoyed going out to breakfast before attending the first Air Force football game of the season, which they won! We went to a movie, shopping, the Hot Air Balloon Festival, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Garden of the Gods, and Boulder... and all within a short timeframe of 3 days. Josh is the most adorable baby, and so good too! The weather was perfect and we shared many laughs... mostly at Eric's expense (thanks Eric!). We can't wait to see them again!

Christian the Lion

This is crazy but what a reunion! You might cry... i did.

college?

It's official... I'm a college student! I've taken the plunge and decided to pursue a degree in nursing. Luckily I've retained some of my high school education and don't have to take any pre-college classes so I'm starting with prerequisites for the program...YES! Wish me luck!

short again...

Okay, so I'm taking these meds that give me random and highly intollerable hot flashes. I know, just what I need when it's 95 degrees and we have no a/c! In order to remedy this situation I decided to cut my hair again. Mom, please warn dad before showing him the photos!

James Bond - Quantum of Solace

We're so excited for the new James Bond movie! Coming to a theatre near you on November 7, 2008!!

a little delayed...

Okay, so I'm not too sure where the last month and a half has gone, but I'm back! Work and visiting family has been keeping us busy! Mid-June we took another trip up to Jackson where we met with Becky, Eric, and Joshy to drive up to Montana for the weekend! My great-grandma isn't doing too well so we decided to visit her. We were also able to spend time with Grandpa Kent, Grandma Mom and Grandpa Boppie, Aunt Renee and her family, and Aunt Kristie and Taragon! We enjoyed a delicous steak dinner with Grandpa Kent and watching the US Open with Grandpa Boppie and Grandma Mom! Grandma Violet was able to meet her 2nd Great-great-grandson! We headed up to Placid Lake where Aunt Kristie and Uncle Dan have a gorgeous lake house! We cycled around the lake on Hydro-bikes, rode quads up to the look-out, played card games, and watched a movie in the theatre room! For such a short visit, we really had A LOT of fun, minus Eric's speeding ticket on the way home! Here are some picutres for your enjoyment!
