I haven't forgotten that I do have a blog, just temporarily not looked at recently. There has been a lot going on. A short recap with some photos.
Well I was about to start my Masters Program this month, unfortunately when I was accepted, to the Systems Engineering Program at Penn State, it wasn't noted that I hadn't had calculus which was highly encouraged for the program. So starting the first course was a bit rough, and in the end I had to drop it and will have to rethink where I will be going with school. Something that I feel I may be better at is project management, IA/cybersecurity, so looking into more programs available to continue with school! Sam has also recently started school at Ashford.
April (26) was an exciting month, My cousin Andrea was married, probably on the nicest day of the month in Wisconsin. I was privileged to be a part of their wedding party. Had a great time helping with decorating and wedding day. To the right is a photo of Sam and I at the wedding. Looking snazzy! Congrats Andrea and Jason!!
A random photo of Logan and I. He has grown up a lot since first getting him. He has learned lie down, and he sure is quiet obedient when treats are involved. He is still a bit hesitant around new people and sometimes around Sam. He has become a better companion and fun to be around. His his second shedding season has started, so the vacuum and furminator are my friend with him. Brooklyn and Logan, mhh I would say tolerate each other, they are not ones to lay together, which is fine. Logan can be a bit more excited and playful when Brooklyn just wants to get away and relax.
A fun photo of Sam and I at the Air Force Appreciation night at the Sky Sox Game. We are big kids in this one! The Sky Sox is the Colorado Springs AAA team. Hear is the Air Force Falcon from the Air Force Academy and Sox the Fox, the Sky Sox team mascot.
Sam probably didn't realize I took this photo. This was taken at Phantom Canyon in downtown Colorado Springs. A pretty fun place we don't go to often. This was probably the best game of pool I ever played, I did though scratch on the 8 ball but soooo close to winning for once! We stopped here this night after a friends birthday dinner.
SELFIE!!! Our unit on 15 May, had a down day where we went to the incline in Manitou Springs. This was my first trip up the incline, and WOW, I don't think I was ready. I did get to try it out, who knows if I will ever be ready to climb the incline. Check out the link of Manitou Incline to learn more and see what I'm talking about! Sure was a beautiful day and beautiful view looking down over Manitou and Colorado Springs!
Colfax Urban 10 Miler took place 18 May, only three days following my hike up the incline. My first ever 10 mile race, not my longest race, but different goal distance. It was a fun race, running through Mile High Stadium in Denver and through different parts of the city. Finishing time was 1:32, just over my goal of 1:30. The day was beautiful, with temperatures at 9 in the morning I believe up in the 70's. It was great. My friend Molly wasn't able to run during this series, but she came along to support my run and see me at the finish line! A great girls weekend.
The last couple months I've started Scrapbooking. All those photos from our travels throughout Europe are finally going into an album, I never realized how many I took! It has been fun, and I'm happy to again be creative in this way. I have noticed I spend less time in front of a television, which I'm happy with. There are always those days that I do nothing and watch way to many HGTV House Hunters episodes but, hey why not!!
WELCOME Jackson!! We are excited to be Uncle Sam and Aunt Jane to our nephew Jackson! At this date he is about a week old now and soo tiny, cute! Sam recently went to visit, while I stayed home with work and the pups! We are excited to welcome him to the family! Congrats Maggie and Jeremy on your addition!
That is what I got so far, I will probably do more of these summarizing posts during the summer, we are going to do as much stuff in the area this summer, despite our unique work schedules. We are excited to be coming up on our 4 year wedding anniversary and our 1 year living here in Colorado Springs area!
