Did I mention I'm in school? I am! Finally! I started classes on Monday and we are going strong. It is going to be a very busy year! We started with 17 in my cohort and are down to 16 on day 4 :( So far I am enjoying just about every class, though. I have "teaching math," "intro to teaching," a special ed. class, "ed psychology," and a tech class that is pretty boring so far but hopefully will move fast. I have seen Brandon a total of about 3 hours this week, but some of that is because I'm house-sitting, too. Hopefully it will get better when I'm living back at home. On the other hand, living alone I've been a lot more productive!
By the way, one of my biggest accomplishments this week: I figured out the bus schedule and made it to and from class on the bus every day without going anywhere extraneous!!!
Other things I did this week: cleaned up a mouse head and tail and the mess caused by a cat leaving a mouse head and tail around. Got up at 6:00 a.m. three days!!! Learned that there is a "new" math. Started getting to know the other people in my cohort. So far I've read every word of the assigned readings for every class. (I expect that to last about 2 more days!)
Well that is all the time I have. Have an amazing day!

CFSC-the memories

In early June our Captive Free teammate came to visit us for a few days. We spent a lot of time reminiscing, reading old journals, and laughing. We also showed her some of the Bellingham sites!out on the lake at campsunset at Boulevard Park (over Bellingham Bay)napping with Smokeyon Mt. Constitution (Orcas Island)-half way upthe view from the top of Mt. Constitution (or lack thereof!)then we hiked down to Twin "Lakes" (more of a pond-very disappointing for all the work it involved!) and felt a great sense of accomplishment that we made it back to the top!
When we got back to the top there was a very brief break in the clouds (Jess almost missed it going to the bathroom!)and we could see the lakes we had hiked down to.
Sorry that the pics are so small, it says they are medium :(
