2003 News


December 25, 2003
Merry Christmas!! We went to Reno and had Christmas with the family. Erich loved it because it snowed on the way up and, on Christmas Day, it snowed all afternoon.
December 15, 2003 Just as our last week winds down of school, we both have signed up for classes for Spring 2004. It looks like both of us will be taking two classes this semester, so hopefully the load will be much lighter.
December 13, 2003 So close...yet so far. Erich and I both have one week of school left. And yet, we both have a paper and finals. This has been the busiest, most difficult semester either of us has had. Once we get our degrees, it will certainly be worth it, but it would be nice to have a life again.

Scotty turns 26!! Now, I'm even closer to 30. Of course as usual, I had to spend the day doing homework, but, I did get some good gifts, so that makes it all the better.

September 12, 2003 Two weeks into school and the homework is already piling on. Erich has just started his first full week. I don't think we're going to have any time to relax for the next 4 months.
September 1, 2003 Labor Day! Thank god a Monday off! Some time to relax, do homework, clean, catch up on shows, take Harry to the beach...wait, what about relaxing?
August 28, 2003 I start back at school. I'm going to part time at work and taking 5 classes this semester (19 units!). I'm signed up for Geographic Techniques, Biogreography, Future Environments, Land-Use Planning, & Climatic Challenge. I'm nervous for the semester, but probably won't have too much time to think about it with all the homework & papers! Erich is enjoying his three weeks off between semesters. School again next week though, and his IRS exam at the end of the month!
August 20, 2003 Erich is taking finals for his Summer semester. A welcome two weeks break begins just as Scott starts school next week. Not too much time to rest though, the new semester begins Sept 8 and Erich's IRS exam is at the end of the month. This, plus two birthdays, and a hopeful visit from mom, will make September a busy month.

August 6-10, 2003 The 6th was my little sister's, Jessica, 11th birthday. She is now, as she says, a tween! The 10th was Erich's birthday too. He would die if I mentioned his age. Let's just say certainly doesn't look his age.
July 23, 2003 Finished Harry Potter! What a great book! Long though. The first 300 pages are a little slow, but it picks up from there for the next 600 pages.
July 11, 2003
