New calling

Long time no post. Well if your like mom and dad then as soon as I say I got a calling last Sunday, you will immediately guess what it is, taking all the fun out of it. So as of last Sunday I was set apart as the Elders Quorum President, trust me when I say that when it comes to leadership roles I would gladly allow someone else the blessings. But alas, coming out East isn't the best location for those who try to hide in the back. Anyway if you would like to know more feel free to call.

Other then that we are desperately needing to close our pool down, the trees are starting to turn color and if we don't get it closed in the next couple days were gonna have one messy pool on our hands, it sad to see it get closed especially since the other day if we had a pool blanket (current one is disintegrating ) we could have gone swimming, the pool water is still getting up to 70 F. which for those who don't understand what that means, we were swimming quite happily at 78F just a couple weeks ago. It was just that one week where it dipped down to frost over night that ruined it all, and now that the temp is back up again, its still too late, the leaves have
started to turn.

For those wondering how school is going, It is starting to settle in to a groove now, as we make our way past the first couple weeks where it seemed that everything was seriously dumbed down. I have had a couple Labs now in electrical circuits, nothing interesting there, and 1 lab in my renewable energy class. It was not to bad but still coming in at a basic level where the labs are just supposed to get you familiar with the different technologies out there and the principles behind them. Next term I see getting much better as the classes get harder and more is expected out of settled in students.

Tired

So the day of possession was awkward, we waited around all day with our furniture and stuff sitting out in the yard cause the brick dropped it off. we didn't get possession until 5pm and by then it was to late to move in so we stayed another night at Nicolas house and moved in yesterday, had a couple swims in the pool its really nice. Nicolas family and then the young men all used the pool so it got it real work out yesterday, learned a lot about the pool too, starting to make more sense now.

The house stinks like smoke more then we thought, during the walk through they had all the windows open which did the trick for them cause we didn't think it was that bad, hopefully that was a lesson learned, cause now we've got a lot of cleaning and kilzin to do. cable guy is coming today hope it goes well, i miss TV, thankfully its not mid season for anything except for Big Brother and we have been catching it online.

School is good, Math class is easy English is easy, had my electrical circuits course today witched is overwhelming so let hope it gets better, and of course the Alternative energy courses are cool, however of course even the professors have differing opinions on stuff so it is quite interesting to listen to them talk about different subjects, anyway just eating my lunch and have one more class so gotta go before my battery dies out here.

Back to School

It's finally here!

Time to go back to school, 12 hours from writing this post I will be in the middle of my first school day. not sure if I'm excited or scared, I want to be in school, just wish I could skip the first week and be all settled in. Either way it's happening tomorrow, so wish we luck, and lets hope I don't do anything foolish, or fall off my bike :-(

Also tomorrow we will be moving into our new place, can't wait, should make for a very busy day. probably wont be getting possession till noon'ish so there should be lots left for me to do still. and then end the day with a dip in my new pool, because you just have to. So give us a couple weeks then feel free to start coming this way!
