Remington!

Well we were going to wait until we moved to Colorado to get a puppy, but we ended up finding the perfect one here in Kansas and couldn't pass him up! This is Remington. He is a 7week old chocolate lab/border collie mix and the sweetest puppy in the world. He's super calm and very smart!

And now Dylan wants his sister (who looks more like a border collie) for his birthday! So we might just make this a family affair :)

Moving On Up?

Woah it's been awhile since I've updated this thing! I've been super busy with work, incase you didn't know I work 10hr days and I live 66miles from where I work, so that combined with a little bit of sleep leaves little time for anything else. So far it hasn't been the best experience; getting up at 3:45am and then working 10hrs of very physically demanding work (and getting extremely dirty in the process) is just not enjoyable for me. I've discovered that if I'm not doing something I feel makes a positive impact in the world or someone else's life I just don't feel complete, I think I was born to help people. Fernando and I usually go all week living together but not actually seeing each other because of our work schedules, which is also stressful. But in the end, it was a new experience and helped me confirm, yet again, that all I really want to do is teach, so it was worth it. I've been talking with some faculty at University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) about their Special Education MA and I've been told I'm the perfect candidate and they'd love to have me apply. If all goes as planned I'll start the program in January 2013, and I'm very excited! We will be moving to Colorado Springs at the end of October and hopefully staying there for an extended period of time (Fernando plans to get out of the Army at the end of this enlistment in March 2016 and stay in Colorado) and we absolutely can not wait (Kansas isn't very exciting). We'll also be in Medina August 15-20 (friends wedding), again September 28-October 1st (another friends wedding) and again for Thanksgiving. Hope to see some of you then!
