So I have been terribly slack as of late. It has a little to do with the fact that I am in School for 10 hours a day after working 8 hours at my job. So I apologize for the rude lack of news/info. (Not that you were really wondering what I've been up to). Life is amazingly good lately. I am almost done with first term of the summer semester, which has me wanting to kill myself a little, and also makes me wish school could always be like the summer. A whole semesters worth of credit over in 5 weeks. It doesn't get much better than that. At least not at school. So things are very busy and if you haven't seen or heard from me lately, I am sorry. I will reappear sometime after June 18th. More later...

The greatest gift

I am frequently amazed at how much my life is enriched by those I love, both friends and family. God sure knew what he was doing when he sent them to my life. I am in awe by their examples of love, compassion, service and strength. If you are one of these mentioned loved ones, (i.e. family or friends) please know I love you with all my heart and thank God for you everyday. Yes, that means you. If you are reading this you have blessed my life and I think that you are here just for me if no other reason. My prayers and love are with you always! Thank you for all you have done!

So...School is sucking my will to live just a little. I'm so busy that I have neglected many things that I need to do around the house and in my yard. Everytime I go home I feel a little overwhelmed by those things that need to get done. On the plus side, I have a showing at a gallery later this month. The photo club at school has a show begining on March 21st at Art Space here in Salt Lake and as a member of the club I will have a few pieces in that show. I am including here a preview of what you will see.

Hallelujah and praise be! I lost my flash drive a couple of weeks ago and have looked for it everywhere. I thought maybe my cat Ziggy ate it since he likes to eat everything that he's not supposed to. But yesterday I got a call from the office at school, and someone has turned it in. It wouldn't really be a big deal, except it has all of my school work from the last year on it. Not really something that I can duplicate so easily. The most important thing that it has on it are the family pictures that I took in December. I would have killed myself if I didn't find it. I'll be picking it up at the office today and I'll post some of the pictures later.

For 2 days we had sunshine and warmer weather. (You know, in the 50's) I have discovered that I might have a little seasonal affective disorder. Mostly I haven't been feeling very upbeat lately, and then with the sunshine I was on a 2 day high. Now I'm feeling back in the dumps again. It's snowing and that sucks. Ah well. At least we have the mountains right?

Today I took some photos of Karin for my photoclass.  I'm not quite sure how to use them yet, but here are a couple of them.

I don't do this kind of thing

So, I am probably the most computer illiterate person of my age that I know, so this is kind of wierd for me to be doing. I figured this way I might actually record things that are important to me and things that are going on in my life. Not like anyone else actually cares, but I think it's cool to see my own stuff on the internet. Plus I can brag about my nieces and nephews since they are cuter than yours. Ha! It's really true though.
