Oh my, what a long week it has been! We have both been dealing with scratchy throats, stuffy noses and the rest of the good stuff that comes with a cold! But, the good news is, we have been diligently taking our Airborne and our vitamins and drinking the yummy OJ, and we seem to be on the mend, and today is FRIDAY!! Friday to us means no work, no school (okay, some studying, but no attending classes), and lots of rest and relaxation! We are planning for some yummy dinner and some good fun tonight, and then we'll see what tomorrow brings!!!
Well, for those of you whom we haven't talked to in quite a while, I'm just gunna give a quick DualAutoBiography (is that what it is if it's about two people?) so that when we ramble on in future posts you'll know what's going on in our lives!!
Nate is currently the PC Technician at Staples!! He seems to really enjoy the people that he works with and he LOVES taking apart and fixing the computers! I've said it once and I'll say it again, he is one big nerd!!! (He knows I mean that in the loving way!) He has been going to the chiropractor to see if they can chiro his headaches away, and it's totally working! He has been getting migranes since he was a kid - he's had a couple MRI's and tried every drug in the book and nothing seemed to help! He started going to Dr. Hunter and he has been fairly headache free for the last few months! He is like a whole new Nate!!! It is so nice and we are extremely grateful to find something that is working for him!!
I have been crazy run around woman with school and work, and it seems like I've always got some place to be, but I have to admit I love the busy schedule!! I do relish my weekends and my time with Nate though!! I am now a Jr. at USU and I've finally decided on a Major! It's a miracle! I have decided to go into Deaf Education and to aspire to be an interpreter!! We'll see if I make it to interpreting, I may fall in love with being in a classroom with such amazing kids, but for now, that is my plan! I am in Sign Language 1 and I absolutely love it!! I am also working about 20 hours a week, which is just enough to keep me on the edge of insanity!! My job is very interesting and it keeps me on my toes! (I'm a Legal Assistant).
Well, I feel like I've been very informative for the moment and I can't think of much else to say at this time, so we'll sign off for now!! Bye!!

Random Thoughts
Hey everyone, I just thought I'd take a second to post!! We had such a great time at the Trans! As always, they are terrific hostesses and we had a great time with the kids and meeting little beautiful adorable Jacie!! How come you all have such adorable kids, huh? I only hope that ours will someday measure up! It was hard to come home from such a great trip but we were able to meet up and have breakfast with Jen & Scoutie on our way home, so that was great as well! Scoutie had fun playing games with Nate and getting little green Martian men from the quarter machines! He is so funny and spunky!
Since we got back we have been immersed in work and school! Nate is still loving his job at Staples! They were happy to have him back from our trip, so they love him too! He has a pretty regular schedule which is nice so that we can plan our evenings! He is getting pretty baby hungry, especially after being around Jacie! We were driving home and he asked if we could go see Joe & Ollie so that he could just hold Jack! We have decided that the only way we could be happy after we have a baby is if we just have twins, so that we can both hold one and not have to fight over who gets to hold them!!
Speaking of baby land - I am going to the Dr. on the 28th to get the whole process started! I am very excited and very nervous, depending on which way it all goes down... I really feel that it is time for us to start trying and getting the help that we need, so I hope that those feelings are a sign from Someone with a little more knowledge that I have, and not just my own wantings... we feel really good about taking this step at this time though, so I'll keep you all updated!!
School is going so good! By the time my classes come around each week I am tired because I've worked for 5 hours, but when I get up to campus I feel excited and ready to learn!! My classes have been challenging this far, but I feel like I am learning and comprehending, and that makes me very happy! I am absolutely loving my sign language class and driving Nate crazy because he's not understanding a word that I say, well, sign, to him... I've got to practice on someone, and he's slowly getting some of the words! I've carried on a couple 10-15 minute conversations without using my voice, and it is so awesome! The nice thing about sign language is if you don't know the sign for something, you can finger spell it, so no matter what, there is a way to communicate!
All right, I'm gunna sign off now! Have a great day!!

Colorado
Hey all! How are you? Well, it is Labor Day night and Nate & I are hanging out at the Trans house! We sent Jess, Phuc & Jacie out on a date and stayed home with the three older kids! We had dinner, popcorn complete with candy boogers and whoppers, and watched a little "Unaccompanied Minors." We have had such a great time here and meeting Jacie has been so much fun! She is so beautiful and I already love her so much!! We are hoping to meet up with Jen & Scoutie tomorrow on our way home, but it will take a little finessing to get our timing right, so we'll see what happens!
Anyway, the kids are sleeping and I'm waiting for our laundry to finish before we can get packed up cuz we are leaving bright & early tomorrow so I thought I'd drop a line or two! Yesterday we went up to Cannon City and went to Buckskin Joe's Cowboy Town! It was... fun for the kids... and we got some great pictures, so it was worth it!! What else have we done? We have had some water gun fights, done a little shopping, made diet coke/mento explosions, played some Fumbly Pegs, Apples to Apples and lots of cards!! We have really had a great time and we are grateful for Jess & Phuc letting us come and stay! Anyway, I'd better go get things rounded up to quicken up the packing tomorrow!!
I'll be back soon!
