Back to School... Again

Well, it is that time of year again... I have to go back to school. This semester is going to be both crazy for me and Josh so be patient. I started back working at EVIT on August 6th. It was a relief to have something to do. With two months off, I was ready to go back. I still don't enjoy it that much but it works. I only have a semester left. Classes started August 11th for me (early, I know) so I am still getting into the swing of doing homework and a lot of it. I cannot wait because it is my last semseter of classes. Starting January I will be student teaching. (Placement still to come so hold on for another two months.) I finally was able to get Josh to take 6 credits at MCC. He is taking critical reading and macroeconomics. Wow! Good luck to him. Along with those credits he is still working full time at a Loan Mart. He likes it although it limits him to his classes. Starting next August we are going to switch roles, he will go to school full time and I will be working full time. WOW! That will be a major change. -By the way- sorry there are no pictures!

2007 Dodge Ram 1500

I'm am sure that most of you already know but I am going to say this anyway. April of 2007 Josh decided that he wanted to go buy a new truck. See title above for type. Anyway, he got a loan for about $16,000 to buy the truck. Yeah, it wasn't a bad price but he knew we were considering getting married at the time. I still don't approve of it because I CAN'T DRIVE IT! It's stick shift. Anyway, a few weeks ago we took money out of my savings account and paid it off. Can I just say... it feels GOOD!!!! A couple weeks after paying it off at the bank we went and got the title. THE TRUCK IS OURS! I'm excited becasue now we don't have the extra payment and we can start saving money for next year! It looks a lot like the one in the picture... just white. I haven't taken pictures of it yet because I always forget. Silly me :)

How to Chop Down a Dead Tree Branch

1. Borrow a tractor from a good friend.










2. Have a friend lift you up in the buckey very carefully. Try using a chainsaw or wrap a tow cable around the branch. Secure it tightly.











3. Try to pull down the tree branch. Remember to not hit the house.












4. If all goes well the the branch will be down. Remember to not kill yourself or let a loved one watch as the branch comes down. (They may freak out a little.)
