Hello Old Friend, Hello

So I survived the Spring semester of school. It was so hard. I am glad it I passed. My grades were awful. I made a D in psychology. I love psych, but the professor was not very good at getting his point across. I hated his class. I did not think I would pass. Right after I took my last final we headed out on vacation for so much needed r&r. We went to Montana. We had a blast. I loved the scenery. When we hit Wyoming, it reminded me of a cowboy movie. A lot of the people we talked to only live in Montana & Wyoming seasonally. They would only work for 5-8 months each year & then they would vacation the rest of the time. Perfect!! I could easily handle that.
We were unable to dig for sapphires because it snowed 19" over night & closed down the town we planned on going to to dig, but we did dig for garnets (my birthstone) I found a lot of them. It was really cool.

I had 3 weeks off of school & now I am back in session. I am taking Intermediate Algebra which is the same as high school Algebra II. Which I aced over a decade ago. I remember all of the stuff the professor is talking about, but I hope I can remember it when it comes to taking a test.

I am looking ahead to the Fall Semester. I have already enrolled in my classes. I am taking English Comp II-3 credits, Humanities I -3 credits, College Algebra -3 credits & Zoology -5 credits. I am taking 14 credit hours this fall. I am scared I will not be able to keep up. This is the only combination of classes I can take to keep my scholarship. This is the only semester I will have a heavy load, so if I make it through, then it will be smooth sailing after that.
I will be in class Mon-Thur nights. I will only have weekends to get homework done. In the spring I plan on taking General Chemistry I & Lab -5 credits, Microbiology -5 credits and a Health and Wellness class - 2 credits. This will be pretty challenging. But I know if I can make it through the Fall, I will be fine.

I need to get some photos up from our vacation. I will try to sort through them soon & get them up. We had a blast. I am looking forward to out next vacation. I need to think of something cool to do next May.

Watch My Corn Pop Up In Rows



Well, It has been a very long time since I have updated. I am still in school. I am hanging on. I am ready for summer break. We are planning our yearly vacation. We always go camping on our anniversary. We have it perfectly planned. We miss the crowds by going the week before Memorial Day. We can just about get any campsite we want. We are looking forward to this year's vacation.
My favorite show on T.V. lately is Cash & Treasures on the Travel Channel. They had a show where the host went to Montanta to to dig for sapphires. I am ready to pack my shovel & my bucket & go to Montana to find my fortune in sapphires. I will let you know how that "pans" out.... hee hee.




Well I started my garden. I planted the seeds in my little planters. I planted corn, spaghetti squash, regular squash & spinach. I planted them less than 2 weeks ago.



Here is what they look like today. I am going to plant them in the morning. I am so excited to watch my corn grow. I love driving by and seeing corn in the field growing. It really grows fast. I have chose red corn. I hope it grows & nothing eats it before I get see the corn. I will try to take more photos as it grows.....


I hope everyone is doing well..... Enjoy your spring!!!!!

It's 2 Boys!!!!











Well--- we had 2 boys. We were really hoping for 2 girls, but the boys are so adoreable too!!!! After the initial shock of being held for the first time, they were amaizingly calm. they even fell asleep on me. Terri was even brave enough to get aquainted. =)
Stay warm & safe!!!!

Make a Wish

Well..... today is the big day. The big 3-1...... Another birthday. Last year I had all of these things I had planned on achieving. I started off by getting up early & going to the gym.... that lasted a week, maybe....

The one thing I had not planned on was going back to school. I am about to start my 2nd semester. I am excited. I am once again taking all of my classes online. I was told that I could take Native American History instead of Humanities I. This will be more interesting to me & it looks good on my transcript--- Hopefully I pass... hee hee hee..... So on this 31st year of my life I resolve to complete at least 12 more credit hours of college. Lets hope that I can do more than that......

We have had another winter storm this past weekend.... But instead of snow we had sleet & ice.... Luckily yesterday was a holiday & I did not have to go to work. But the sun came out & melted the sleet & then last night it froze into a solid sheet of ice.... So today I am still in my PJ's.

Yesterday Joey went down to feed the goats & he called me & told me that they had left me a birthday present... He said that one of our goats had twins!!!! Sometime today I will try to skate down there & get some first photos of them. He said they are adoreable. =)

Oh by the way -- Also born today in 1976 Trisha Stillwell, Miss USA-Oklahoma (1997, top 10) and on my 15th birthday, I remember watching on TV as US & 27 allies attack Iraq for occupying Kuwait (US time).

Hopefully today is uneventful. I like peaceful days..... I hope everything is easy going for you.....
