Labor Day Weekend

I hope everyone has fun that is able to enjoy the holiday weekend in its fullest. I am starting evening shifts tonight, which is alright. At least I'm around to enjoy the day portion of the holiday stuff. There's no festivities to speak of... but at least husband gets to relax for an added day, which he needs since sleeping in has been more of a distant memory for him this summer. It happens.

College football... my husband's favorite time of year. All I can say is "Congrats Appalachian State!"... all Buckeye fans must admit that it's a thing of beauty even if it does send some questionable reflection on the Big 10 as a whole. Congrats to all my alma maters since everyone managed to win yesterday - even my little SDSM&T Hardrockers and Bobcats.

So what does today bring? Nothing too impressive. I didn't get nearly enough sleep to get me through my shift this evening, so a nap will be in order. Outside of that? Hard to say really... whatever motivation strikes us I guess.

There's a golf tournament going on here this morning. The announcer guy told them all to get to their tees (over a loudspeaker) and we just laughed heartily at the onslaught of golfcarts that started moving our way. It would have been hilarious if they drove in formation... but even just watching the chaos of them moving at all was well worth sitting outside. Loving the deck... loving the view... it's a nice morning for sure.

Went to see The Simpsons Movie last night, I thought it was pretty funny. We went to the theater down in Lander, and it was pretty nice though they had some issues getting, and keeping, the movie in focus. So goes life.

Anyhow... I hope everything is going well. Talk later!

Long time, no post

Yeah, I believe I did comment at some point that I might not be very good about keeping this puppy up to date. No reason to doubt me now, eh? Alright... so the last post to this was before the last time I went to Ohio, before Myrtle Beach, and before Yellowstone. So... if you read my husband's blog, you can figure out a reason why I haven't felt much up for posting.

The trips have been great... it's been nice to see familly and relax to the site of Yellowstone National Park. So, let's see... where to begin. My newest niece is already getting big... and the family looks healthy and happy. Yes, a lot of stress, however for the other side of the family with my father-in-law being diagnosed with cancer. Recent news seems promising, apparently all the prayers have made a difference.... so keep at it people. :)

Myrtle Beach was a mixed bag since we learned of a portion of the initial bad bad bad diagnosis during the trip. At least we were at a beach and together, I think it made the difference. Regardless, my favorite picture from that trip is on the right side there... so enjoy.

Yellowstone!!! Wow, what a whirlwind enjoyable 4 days. We saw so many sites... and tons of animals! We saw black bears, grizzlies, coyotes, a weasel, cranes, bison, and elk. Phew! And let me tell you, some of them were darned close... so much so that my pictures turned out somewhat blrry. Hey, it's life man! My mantra for my whole life is applicable now... "I can only get better from here." Because I'm still learning tricks of the trade when it comes to photography. Anyhow... I'll put some links to my photo albums up eventually. We took over 300 pictures during Yellowstone, most of which look almost the same. :) Hard to stop photographing a wild animal when they're like 20 feet away from you!

So... after that. Well, we have some house sagas... but I'm not gonna talk about those on here for now... it doesn't feel right. Ummm... work is work. A new forecaster started recently, he came from a neighboring office (well kinda), and seems like a nice guy. I met him for the first time today.

Am currently watching the season finale of ArmyWives, do you know that show? I'm slightly addicted... well, ok... slightly is an understatement I'm sure. Alright peeps, time for me get rolling... the part in the previews is about to happen, and I don't want to miss it.

Later!
