Costa Rica

We had a great time in Costa Rica on a study abroad trip for ASU. Back to work and school next week!

Winter

is finally here! Went out for my first day on the slopes and the legs are feeling it! Heading down to Kiawah for the half marathon and a visit with the girls. Happy Holidays!

The Fast Lane

Fall semester has flown by! It seems to go faster each year. We celebrated the Snape's wedding with great friends, cross raced, and spent some time at home. Now we are on the road for Thanksgiving, the Kiawah half marathon and then Costa Rica after xmas. Happy Holidays to all!

Fall

Fall is finally in the air with cool temps and fall colors. We've had a busy September with so many birthdays and travels. I harvested the last of my tomatoes and was invited to judge sheep at a local 4-H show. School is very busy and we are hosting two South African students for a few weeks. October will prove to be just as busy with no end in sight. At least I have plans for next summer!

Labor Day

I don't know where summer went! My garden has been fruitful this year and I have been busy canning and putting up for the winter. I've been hiking on some great NPS trails by our house where I am supervising a student intern. Chip came to visit us for our week and it was nice to have him back in the states. We are now spending Labor Day in Clemson and enjoying a cool, beautiful weekend!

July

Was a busy month! I spent the majority of it in Indiana completing the Muncie Endurathon and visiting family and friends. I always plan my trip during the 4-H fair so I can see my favorite cowgirl! I miss the flat lands with lush fields of corn, warm nights, and sweet Indiana tomatoes. August has crept up once again, so I will spend the next few weeks working on school prep. Sean heads to KY for Master Nationals this weekend, wish him luck!

July 4th

I had a busy week before the July 4th weekend, which included paddling down the New River and riding on the VA Creeper trail with friends. We went to the Wood's for holiday weekend and had a great time seeing friends and the kids! Off to Indiana to visit family and the Muncie Endurathon.
