Two weeks from yesterday (Thursday) I will be flying in to Texas for the weekend to see my family. I am so excited! Erin even said she was going to have a little birthday party for me with cupcakes. I don't remember when my last birthday party was. It will be fun. This has been a hard week for me at work, and now I have this trip to look forward to. Chad and I are probably going to go camping again tonight, before it starts getting TOO cold...even though it was 29 degrees here last night which is already cold in my book.
Today dad will arrive in Texas and get to his new place tomorrow and start his new job next week. So now officially all my family is back in Texas except for us. It won't be long! I can't believe how fast time flies. In about a month it will be time to apply for Blue Haven again, and it seems like we were just there.
Say a little prayer for Chad because he takes his "oral boards" today which, if he passes, will officially release him from training. Our Civic is in the shop again so he's driving the Element down to Phoenix...glad we decided to buy a second car! I calculated this morning that we'll have spent a couple thousand dollars on the Civic's maintenance this year. Not cheap, but better than two car payments. Yes, lots of random thoughts today.
Oh, one more...Chad and I are going to a Halloween party on Tuesday night and we need easy Halloween costume ideas. Any ideas would be great, but Emma, I'm especially depending on you since this is your favorite holiday. Comment away!

The joys of technology
Well, I had this great blog all typed up earlier this morning and of course, it all got erased when I tried to post pictures so now I'm trying again. Thanks for giving me time to get back in the swing of things. I wanted to post these pictures of Kellen and Bonnie because I thought they were really cute and Chad and I don't have any new pictures of us from recent happenings.
The good news for us lately is that Chad is scheduled to work HERE two weeks from today, and from then on. Yay, no more driving to Phoenix all the time! We have been so blessed with Chad getting this new job and being able to work it out with school.
We also just planned a trip for three days during Thanksgiving to Las Vegas...the big flashy one, not the one in New Mexico. It's kind of a Lesley's birthday/Thanksgiving/3 year anniversary trip. I think it will be a lot of fun. If you've been to LV and want to recommend anything that we need to do, let me know!
I guess that's about it for now. Tonight is Homecoming so Chad and I will go to the football game and see all the cool college freshmen all dressed up to visit their old high school. :) Is it cold over there in Texas yet? It's getting into the 30s here at night...I'm not sure I'm ready for this!

No whining
For those of you who check the blog on a fairly obsessive basis, be aware that today (10/6/06) will be my last day to post for at least the next week. Next week is my Fall Break and I probably won't have time to post, and also since we don't have internet at home I probably wouldn't get a chance anyway. Just a forewarning before people start complaining that there's nothing new on the site.

Car camping at its finest
The only way to eat Rice Krispy treats 
The only way to make Rice Krispie treats (nice feet!) 
If that's not 5-star, I don't know what is 
Carl's Jr. for dinner--how rugged of us
"Me love Rice Krispie treats!"Saturday night Chad and I took a break from our boring apartment and went camping about 7 miles away from our house. Well, camping wouldn't really be the right word. Chad decided it would be fun to take the back seats out of the Element and inflate the queen-size mattress and put it back there. We also just took some burgers out there with us so we wouldn't have to cook out (we were running a little short on daylight). We did have a dessert cookout though, with Rice Krispie treats Blue Haven style. It was a blast!
Chad hard at work
The laptop is being put to good use
"I'm so pumped about going to the airshow."Here are some pictures of Chad writing away...counting this summer and fall he will have had 3 writing intensive courses, one of which was an independent study, so he has been doing a LOT of writing. I've also posted a picture of Chad in his flight suit. He was about to go to the airshow at the Prescott airport last Saturday. You can tell he was very excited about me taking this picture. Chad is in Phoenix again today (surprise surprise) but at least he doesn't have to go every day this week. He starts school again tomorrow...his last full-time semester! Yay!
