Back to the grind

So...back in school...*sigh*...the break was nice...but I wish it were longer...isn't that the typical case though... :-)

Last weekend was a LOT of fun! Went to Knoxville for a weekend of fun with the hubby and G&G. Had a good visit with them, and had fun on our excursions...we went to the cave I mentioned before...the lake it brags of was the "cool" thing in the cave...there weren't many formations...and the tour guide (who was 17)...explained things with an evolution mindset...for example, this formation takes about 10,000 years to make...etc...then went to this "apple orchard thing"...it was fun...wasn't what I was expecting, but the frozen Apple Cider (ingredients = apples)...was VERY yummy...and we got some fresh apples...then we went to the aquarium in Gatlinburg...it was cool...lots of fishies and such to see...but again with an Evolution mindset...it was kinda sad to hear a mom come in read a sign and tell her 6ish year old son...that big turtle skeleton up there lived 22 million years ago...anyway...

Next trip with G&G will be Nashville (since halfway is actually between Knoxville and Nashville). Fortunately both have LOTS to do around them...Not sure when that trip will be though...

Next planned trip is to Nebraska to a friend's wedding...I think we're going to take off Friday & Monday, and leave Thursday night....so we won't have to rush there for the wedding and turn around and rush back...

I've gone to 2 classes of 4 so far...I think it's going to be a good semester...from what ya can tell from half of the classes one time! :-) I go to the other 2 classes tonight - one of which I KNOW will be boring, so I might update again tonight! LOL! I'm trying to not get online much during class, and focus more even when it's terribly dry material, so we'll see! LOL!

Another big change we've decided to do...most everyone knows about our change in eating habits...the whole goal is to be healthier...get the junk out of our diets...well...we've also decided to get other "junk" outta our lives...we've decided to quit watching TV...our thoughts are we've both got LOTS of school stuff we need to get done...and often times we neglect our quiet time with the Lord because we don't have time...but we have time to watch TV...so we've agreed that the TV doesn't come on unless we've both had our quiet time, and school work is done. We've decided that we might do like Friday night movie or something (since neither of us have class), but it's gotta be a clean movie... The other thought besides just the "time" factor, is we've been thinking about the content of what's on TV...and we only have basic TV...and there's NOTHING in the shows we typically watch that is beneficial...most have terrible morals...terrible language...etc...and there's other much more beneficial things we can fill our time with! I'm so excited about this change!!

Ok - well - I better get back to work...have several things that need to be done and it's already 2!

Later!

Well it hasn't been a whole month!

:-)

While I know it has been a while...I've been outta school, so I can't post updates while in class (cause I'm not in class! LOL!)

Have enjoyed my mini summer so far...

First weekend went to see the parental units...had a good visit...
Second weekend went to see the friends...had a decent visit (so many people in such a short time, I feel like we didn't get to really VISIT with everyone like I would have liked!)...
Third weekend went fishing...had fun!
This weekend...not sure what we'll do - really probably aught to finish some projects around the house, but we'll see how that goes...
Next weekend...going to Tenn. to a cave...a "mini vacation"...looking forward to it!

Then classes start that Monday for me...(my sweet wonderful husband starts this coming week, and I'll have to read while he's in class, since we'll be gone that weekend, but it's not class yet!)

Not too much exciting to talk about...

There have been several times something would happen, and I'd think, I could blog about that...but of course those NEVER happened when I was in front of a computer! And now that I"m taking the time to type out something...none of those things come to mind! *sigh*

Ok - wasted enough time talking about nothing, so better get back to work...

LAMY!
