Texas Update

Hi!! I haven't blogged in SOO long. Mostly its because I have pictures to post and I am never home with time to blog so I just don't ever blog. Today I am at work and am completely caught up and looking for things to do. I didn't sleep well last night (that's what happens when you stay up past midnight and its too late to take your ambien) so now I'm at my desk trying to stay awake!! Seriously!!

So anyway, I thought what better time to do an update on the two of us here in Texas!! Well, Sean got released from his calling as Elders Quorum Teacher and has just been called as a Weblos scout leader!! Totally unexpected but he is excited. I am still the Camp Director and am looking forward to camp in June (we camp in June because we live in Texas, we also camp in air conditioned cabins...)

We still have a dog and he is really cute!! During the winter months (and by winter I mean it sometimes got below 30 degrees) we have been letting him sleep inside in his kennel. Because its dark outside when we get home, he spends most of the evenings inside with us. We have to keep an eye on him all the time though because he's learned he can reach food on the counter and recently learned how to lift the lid off the garbage. This dog is too smart for his own good!! We have to keep him tethered in the backyard until we get the electric fence up. He has learned that he can jump the chain link fence and his latest trick is that he learned how to open the gate for the chain link fence. Obviously jumping was too much work for him!! Doc has definitely decided he loves Sean more but i have been trying to buy his love by letting him in at night. The other day he grabbed a rag and I tried chasing him and we ended up running around the couch for like 20 minutes. It was so much fun. I've done this with him a couple of times. Well last night I went to the gym with my friend Carlene right when I got home from work so I did not have a chance to see Doc before I was out the door again. When I got back from the gym, Doc was in the house with Sean and as soon as I walked in the door Doc jumped up ran to me and then started running around the couch. So I started chasing him. It was fun and I think my plan to buy his love is working!!

What else....hope you don't mind that this is long, again, trying to stay awake here!! We got the chance to go to the Dr Pepper Museum in Waco a few weeks ago. We basically love Dr Pepper and had a lot of fun with our friends Stacie and Michael who we went with.

Sean is really loving his job!! The people he works with are great and he is so happy in this job. He is still working on his final paper for his masters degree and has promised me that he will be graduated by the end of this semester so YEA!! for him being done. This paper is on his research project he did last year. He is mostly done with it so it shouldn't be too much longer.

Well that's pretty much us right now. The weather is starting to get nice here. That will only last a couple months until the humidity picks up. Sean and I meet for lunch every day and for the last couple of months we've been having lunch in the back seat of my car! I leave work, drive to the school and pick him up and we sit in a parking lot and eat lunch. It seems crazy but we've been meeting for lunch since we were married and its nice to spend that time together. Yesterday it was finally warm enough to eat outside. There is a visitors center parking for a memorial on campus and we keep a blanket in my car and lay that out for lunch. Its so calming and works great in the middle of the work day.

Well, the last thing I want to tell you guys about is my crazy decision to go back to school and get my masters degree in Education. I've been thinking about this for a long time and looking into programs. I found a great online program that is through Ashford University which is in Iowa. Its all online and is amazing. You take one class at a time and each class is 6 weeks long. I am currently in week 4 of my first class. So far so good. Its great because I actually look forward to doing my homework!! Its a year and a half program so my estimated graduation date is June 2011!! Its kinda crazy but I am enjoying it!! The format for the online course is perfect for me. Its a lot of writing which is great for me because that is something that comes naturally to me. I also am able to discuss educational issues with classmates and get different perspectives. Its great!

So that is all for now cause I can't think of anything else interesting in our lives to talk about!! I miss you guys so much!!

What a great update!! That is awesome that you are going back to school. That is really exciting. That is good to hear that Sean likes his job and that he is getting close to finishing. Maybe that means you will be able to move back? :) And if it makes you feel better Dodger likes Nate more than me. --Celeste

Sounds like things are going well for you guys! Congrats on going back to school - that is AWESOME!!! Do you want to teach? We sure miss you guys. Hope everything continues to go well!
