No posts lately-Computer got a virus and now I am sharing with the husband. I guess the laptop has seen its better days, but couldn't it have lasted until December?
Productive day today, caught up on all of my housework and then some. My fall scene (mums and pumpkins and a scarecrow) are on the porch. And to Chris's relief, I got some pumpkin hand towels for the kitchen. School is good. I have two weeks of my internship left. I will be sad when it is over. I feel like God has placed me where he wants me, and it is truly my calling. I am keeping a journal, so I will post excerpts when it is complete. Research methods is giving me a stomach ulcer. What if I fail my last required soc class? I have always made A's and B's, but this class is something else...
Chris is another year older. His birthday was last week. I was going to do a cool post in his honor, but the computer crash has thrown me off in more ways than one. I made hummingbird cake, his favorite. He is very busy with school right now.
Brooks is the proud new owner of a new dog carrier. We bought it yesterday. It barely fit in the back of the Explorer. It looks like it could house a tiger. Everyone gave us crazy looks as we carried it out of PetsMart. We should have told them it was for our pet tiger, but we might have gotten arrested. Anyway, the crate is supposed to be "indestructible" but we'll see. Brooks tried to eat our carpet, he keeps getting EVERYTHING out of the sink (yes, my dog is tall enough to get stuff out of the sink), and he successfully tore down the wood blinds in the office. That is why he got a new crate. He was eating our house, piece by piece.
Good news for my family, my mom's first stem cell transplant was yesterday. It was a success, as far as we know. She still has a long way to go, but she is so tough she will be great.
Later.....

Hurray for Brookies new crate...I hope it survives him. You will do good in all your classes and pass, and Chris will do well on his test Friday. Ya'll have your act together, and God will see you through. we just weren't prepared for how tough this would be when this all started, but you are strong and only have a little more than 2 months, and I should be home part of that time. I love you bunches and am so proud of you both. Hugs and kisses to you and Chris, and tell Brooks his Grams and Pops love and miss him and will see him soon.Have a great day!
Love you both bunches,
Mom
I agree with Nina. She's so smart! And we're probably not biased at all...
I'm so glad that you posted on your blog! I miss you very much, and reading your blog is how I act like we talk more than we do... :|
I love you!
Quinn said if Brooks would give him some pointers about getting into the sink, he will very gladly take them. He can't quite figure out how to reach it without a big person helping... but he can reach all sorts of anonos that are 3 feet from the ground or lower... What a team they would make! Scary.
