Stuck

This past week, I was in San Antonio on a recruiting trip. The trip over there was good but the flight on the way back was long. The plane left late from SA which made me miss my connecting flight in Dallas. So what did I do past the time from 2:45pm-8:00pm? I went into the USO. A cool place for military families. The USO was a life saver. The USO has free food, movies, computers, a kiddo room, and a sleeping room. Thanks Paul for serving our country and the benefits that it has provided for our family.

I want to protect my eyes from the UV rays. You should do the same! By the way, which way to the beach?

Play hard. Sleep hard!

Nephew's First Basketball Game!

Last month, I went to Chama to see Anthony play basketball. This was the first season of basketball for the 3rd and 4th graders. Anthony is a point guard and can handle the ball pretty well for a 3rd grader. (Just like his Tia did back in the day!) Look for #34!

"What do you mean I have to sleep on the floor from now on?" That is what Gordies would say if she could talk. The other night, Gordies got sick and threw up on Paul's side of the bed. Gross, I know. So we decided that it was time for her to get her own bed. She won't sleep anywhere without her blanket so I put her blanket on the floor. She did pretty good the first two nights. Then we went and purchased a dog bed for her. Check her out with her new bed. We just got it today so we will see how she does tonight! Wish us luck!

San Diego

These past few days, Paul and I went on a trip to San Diego, CA. No, not a recruiting trip. A trip that was for pleasure and not business. Paul took me to go whale watching and we also got to see some sea lions. It was so much fun.

What was our mode of transportation? A train! We have never traveled by train before, so we decided to try it. It was actually pretty nice.

You can't really see it but in the pic below is the whale blowing water out of his blowhole.

Sorry it is a little blurry, but it was hard to take pictures because they move in and out of the water so quickly.

These are the teeth of the Baleen Whales.

It Brings Out the Color of Her Hair!

Gordies got a new orange collar today. Orange is definitely her color. It just brings out the color of her hair (lol)!

Chicago was Great but Glad to be HOME!!

This past week, Paul and I were in Chicago, IL for a recruiting trip. We had a very successful trip. We received 147 inquiry cards from students who showed interest in NMMI. Along with the cards, we visited 6 schools and did 20 presentations. One school even called the next day and asked if we would go back to present to another class. That made us feel good knowing that we are making a difference for some kiddos. While we were there, we were able to do some sight seeing. We got to see Becca (Paul's cousin) and Jason (Paul's friends). We also got to go the Harley-Davidson Museum in Wisconsin and to the Field Museum by the Chicago Bears Stadium. It was awesome.

We took lots more pictures. Check out my Facebook to see more!
