We are thinking about a trip to the west coast this summer. California and then up to Oregon. Time will tell when and how that all unfolds. I hope that we get to go. I have summer school so squeezing that in will be good for me. Everyone needs a break.
We can't wait for spring to arrive so that we can start on the garden again. We made really good progress last year. I will find pics to upload for that. So we are all good for now! Tootles.

Christmas Eve will find me
Zach is the pina-colada king. Give him a tall frosty- virgin- drink- that is. Here he is all grown-up with his drink of choice in hand. As of friday, December 19 at 12:30 P.M. Z and I will be on our winter break!!! Let's party. I just uploaded my last paper that was due by midnight tonight and I am now ready to catch up on everything that has been on hold for the last two weeks. If you are still waiting to get a christmas package from us, I will be mailing those tomorrow along with the second batch of holiday cards.
Zach is organizing a big school night for his friends at a laser tag place. He is taking the inititative to invite everyone and keep everybody in the loop for this middle school adventure. Other than that, the social scene is bleak as I have neglected friends and loved ones for the sake of a graduate degree. Reports this year say that someone with a Masters degree will make a million more dollars than someone without a degree. It makes the long study sessions easier to bear- now that I know that.
Trim the tree, open the beers and lets drink to a great vacation!

This year for Christmas Z is trying to decide between a Wii and an xbox 360. AND he wants the newest edition of World of Warcraft. Maybe I can persuade him to wait til his bday for the new gaming system. School is still going reall well. I got a letter in the mail about how Bonneville Middle school is not conforming with with no child left behind act. great. Who do I need to take that up with. If I was motivated enough and had the time I could home school him or maybe find a charter school. He is hoping to get into the Ames program at Cottonwood High school for ninth grade. He would be in a kind of advanced program and graduate with his associates degree so that he wold only have 2 years post high school to get his BS and then start his masters program.
I am rambling a bit here. But I don't imagine that reading about my school would be rewarding whatsoever. I am thinking that when I graduate I want to be involved and work with hospitals. I think that would be excellent job security and we could move about the country where jobs become avaliable.
So far we are happy and healthy. Huthc survived a seriouys bout with chocolate and didn't die so that is a plus. His bird little Coo is still alive and kicking. Unlike that stupid parrot that I bought him a few years ago that died. They are supposed to have long lives.
Went to the yearly halloween party at the Coonradts. It was a blast. I am Eve this year for halloween. It was awesome. Pics posted as soon as I get them back. I promise.
