July-Aug 2012

Alrighty then!  I have some breathing room now that my summer quarter is finished and I can finally post an update. 

M and I had a great time in MT for the Victor All-Class reunion.  The weather was very warm, but beautiful.  It appeared to me that there was a great turn-out.  But I wasn't from there so not sure.  What I can tell you is that a good time was had by all on Friday and Saturday night.  Especially Saturday night, huh LW?  (wink wink)  Thank goodness I had M looking out for me.  Apparently we left BEFORE all the fun started at midnight with karaoking. Oh, and I was repeatedly told by many of M's female classmates that I married the nicest guy.

I ended up flying home Sunday of that weekend to I wouldn't miss any school.  M stayed on for another week to visit with friends and spend some time helping his dad out.

Other than that, we have just been hanging out here in the Valley of Maples.  M was so excited that he was actually home for the Sportco Tent sale this time.  I was happy I went with him, because I found a new pair of Teva sandals on sale.

M left last Sunday and will probably be home around the first of Oct.  Then he will have the month of October off to fish his little heart out!  We have made plans with the siblings and spouses for another fishing weekend in Forks. 

I only have two quarters of school left in my program.  The light is starting to become brighter at the end of the tunnel.  I will have an on-campus internship this quarter, and I took the bull by the horns and lined that up with back in May when I thought I was having to do that during the summer quarter.  That plan went out the window with the budget cuts we were told about a month before the spring quarter was to end.  So frustrating!  But not half as frustrating for me as it was for the ladies who were saposed to have been finished with the summer quarter.  So I will be working with the Catering Dept for the fall quarter.  Now all I have to do is get my off-campus internship lined up.  I have a couple of leads provided by my instructor from a couple of people that have gotten in touch with her.  That is what I will be working on during this break.

This weekend is a Harley is coming up from AZ for a little Cart Spa party that Cowgirl lined up.  We are going to get pedicures at a little place in Seattle that has a "Party room" so that we are all together!  Then we will se where the day takes us.  Before we meet up for that I will be taking my older twin, CAM  and Izzy to Kenmore air where they are going to takeoff and meet up with the gruesome twosome, RTM and TSY on the Knotty Girl.

NEXT weekend is the home opener for the GRIZ!!!  I am boarding the babies and heading over Friday.  Bummed that M won't be making the trip with me...but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do when it comes to Grix Tix!  Sorry Honey! (not)

Take Care y'all!
