Alright so we didn't go to the village. I heard from my sis that is was so entirely crowded and mobbed with little children, a bad combination from Zach and I's perspective. So we watched movies instead.
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.
This Saturday Zach and I are going to carve pumpkins and visit the village. We add one house to our Dickens Christmas Village every year so we visit the Christmas store every year for dinner and new ideas. I think this year we are going to attempt a pond.
So far things are going well. Z came home with a 3.9 GPA this quarter. He really likes his school and has started playing raquetball weekly with his friend Truman. I guess this year Zach has decided that he doesn't want to dress up for Halloween. And I will admit I might have offered to just buy him a bag of candy rather than making him go door to door in the freezing cold. lol.
Graduate school is really starting to pick up. I can't believe that I am already at the semester half way point. I register for Spring class 2009 next Monday. Wow.
