School has begun! This week was not as hectic as I thought that it would be, however, I was running all over the place learning where things are to make it a successful semester. I'm continuing chemistry, starting calculus, taking an engineering design class and my fun class will be racquet ball. Unfortunately my class schedule is not perfect - due to the mandatory orientation (only 2 days before school started I could register) - but I have the classes I need and if I end up having to run to get to a class on time for one semester that's okay. Let's see . . . the only other news is that the sunday school class I teach is going well - they're a good bunch of kids. Well, have a Great Week Everyone!

The summertime is comming to a close . . .
The short break from school was greatly needed but now I will be able to return to continue my education. I have transferred to UNM which means I am now a Lobo!

Camping for Two!

Lisa and I had a wonderful camping trip last week! The Jemez mountains are beautiful this time of year so we saw nice views, green plants and the temperature was just right. When we set up camp I was expecting the regular "guys" campsite but Lisa added a cute style to the site with a simple table cloth, a clothesline, our cute camping chairs and even used a watter bottle as a vase to keep a few flowers in.

On the first day we set up camp, started a fire and cooked dinner before going to sleep.

The next day we hiked to a hot spring - actually it was a pool of water at just the right temperature - and after the two mile hike, jumping into a pool of water was very refreshing.

On the third day we took down our tent, packed up and drove to a trail head where we hiked through some very green vegetation while listening to the running water of a small stream - which was nice considering we live in a desert.

We haven't done very much hiking so far but we both find the outdoors enjoyable so with a newly purchased hiking guide to N.M. we will more than likely go hiking again and perhaps we will convince some of our friends to join us . . . especially since we want to hike a few remote trails where we'll want more people to accompany us - there is safety in numbers after all.

School's Out!

Lisa is soooo cute! She wants to be in charge of our joint page & all the fun things we do I guess so I will be happy to let her. . .

Finally summer school is over! I have put so much into school this past term that at times I was sooo stressed out - I am soooooo happy to be finished.

This last week Angela showed up to help mom and pop work on the garage, so I went over and helped. The garage was insulated and sheetrocked (last year), and now we've sanded and primed the walls. I think Angela is going to help build shelves to organize clutter and this will put the garage in working order.

My intent in keeping this blogger page is to keep in touch with family. . .and we'll see how it goes.
