Leaving for WI

I wanted to post our itinerary in case anyone wanted to know what our vacation plan.

We leave Sat 6/20 after I get off work and drive through the night and through Sunday 6/21 (Steve's birthday) to Rapid City, SD.
Monday 6/22 we drive straight to Grafton WI, hoping to arrive sometime Monday night or Tuesday morning. Then...we sleep.

Thursday 6/25 we go to Summerfest in Milwaukee
Friday 6/26 we go see the Brewers play
Saturday through Sunday 6/28 we will be in Wautoma at the cottage with Ben, Olivia and Steve's sister and parents.
Back to Grafton.
We leave on Tuesday morning to take a longer drive (3 nights in hotels this time) back home, stopping in Yellowstone for a bit. We plan to be back on Friday 7/3. It is going to be a long and busy trip but it is going to be so much fun. We will have Internet access throughout so be looking for pictures.

MPH Hooding Ceremony

I AM DONE!!! It is amazing how different I feel and it has only been a few hours. I have energy, I am happy, I am feeling social, and I have vast amounts of free time.





It was a nice ceremony, super quick as it was done in less than an hour. And now it is all about the job search, which I will hopefully be working on while in WI.

Last week

Last week of school for me, graduate on Friday, Wahoo! I will be a "Master of Public Health," whatever that means. Then comes the wonderful job search which will be taking place in the middle of a recession. There is going to be a lot of positive self talk necessary!

Last week of school for Steve, no more driving to Estacada, not so wahoo but Lake Oswego has positives too. This next week is going to be rough for him but he will have 2 months to recover before he needs to start thinking about school again. Steve took his class to Oaks Park this year for their field trip and had a great time.

Lucas turned three years old today and had a pirate party at Mt Tabor park. It was a great time. Hot dogs, pinatas and bubbles. Can't ask for more than that when you are three.
