It is so hard to tell of all the things we have done these last few weeks, we have met so many interesting people who keep giving us new ideas about life and how to live it. Highlight for us this week included building a lake retaining wall at Terry and Sue ...

... around 50 but very windy and it couldn't decide if it wanted to rain or not. Have you ever gotten rained on with a clear blue sky? I have. Any way, after the first night in Mammoth, (sunday night) we woke up to snow, monday was just windy, tuesday was nice, and wednesday was cold and rainy and well thursday was the same as wednesday except a late season snow storm hit. Sunday was like monday

We went on a family vacation up here to watch my cousin play women's college basketball. The basketball watching wasn't my favorite thing but the weather was certinaly a site to see. The snow up here was so deep that you couldn't tell cars from snow drifts. We rented a snowmobile and rode all around the area. I also had pink eye while I was there which did suck but when I look back on this trip it is mostly fond memories and I would definately do snowmobiling again!

... to A12, a nice long haul. I started the sprint to the tram and caught the tram from D concourse to A concourse and then started the sprint down the entire length of concourse A. At about this time I hear the over head page for myself that I had 4 minutes to reach gate A12, I was at Gate A2. I hollered at the agent and asked her to call gate A12 and let them know I was coming. Once I was to gate A10, I saw a lady standing out side gate A12 and I hollered at ...

Have been spending a better portion of the weekend getting packed and ready to go. Doing lots of cleaning and trying to get stuff done around the house before we go. It has been a interesting time trying to plan out this vacation, as initially we were supposed to be driving the Alcan highway and backpacking Denali. I wasn't sure if I would be going or not and it looked like I might have to fly to Anchorage and then ...

This trip actaully begins way back in May. I graduated on May 3rd but had to stay for a few extra weeks to finish up a project. It involved designing and building a portable chassis dynamometer. My team was given a grant for $38,000 and we used every penny! This project was by far the most difficult thing I have ever had to do in my life (I suppose that means I've lived a pretty easy life). But the ...

Hello Everyone! Maybe you thought we were finished with our travels or that we had just fallen off the face of the earth, since you had not heard from us in a while. But the truth is that we have been hiding out in one of our favorite places in the world - the U.P. After spending the holidays with our families we ventured back up North to the land of perpetual winter while Chris wrote his thesis and I worked on a journal article and a quilt ...
