One Of My Favorites!

One of my favorite things to do in the evening, especially now that I am finished with my class, is to read blogs. It is like getting a much anticipated Christmas present every day when I see a newly updated blog. I am thrilled to keep adding to my list of blogs (to the right) and to be able to stay updated on the lives of so many people! Knowing how thrilled I am when those blogs get updated really keeps me motivated to stay on top of my own blog, and also makes me feel guilty when I go through long spurts without blogging.
If you follow my blog and have one of your own that I don't have listed, please let me know and I will add you, no matter how long we may be out of touch. If you already have a blog that I read, keep 'em coming! This blog post is dedicated to all of you bloggers who make my day with your updates!

I recieved some happy news today. I got my official grade back for my Purdue class and I got an A! I was on the A-B bubble before the final and thought for sure that the final would send me to the B range. But I was pleasantly wrong. I think taking this Master's program one class at a time is definitely the best idea. I have better confidence in myself and my abilities now, knowing I CAN do well in these classes. I was pretty intimidated at first. Still, I have no idea what the future classes will be like.

Congrats on the 4.0! ;) I was on the same bubble with my class, and managed to come out on the upper end too. However, as we discussed, yours is much harder! :)

I'm not really sure how my professor "rounded" in the class. It was very generous. Oh well, I'll take what I can get! Congrats on your A as well, Casie!

Soul-Level Joy

Lately I’ve been blessed to notice myself experiencing soul level joy more and more. The best way I can describe it is just feeling happy at every level. Physical, emotional spiritual. It almost takes my breath away when I stop and soak it up. I wanted to capture one such moment here.   Lately Allie has been doing SUPER kind things (that I can not fathom myself doing at her age). For example, she brought one of her Happy Meal toys to dinner with us the other night at a restaurant and decided on her own that she wanted to give it away to a little girl sitting nearby. The joy on the girl’s face was priceless. Her grandma was stunned. Allie has such an incredibly generous spirit. She loves making others feel loved and special in her own 3 year old way. Sometimes she will also share her beloved French fries with Matt and I. 😱 Today we took Allie to the Denver Aquarium. This girl just loves to explore and “go somewhere” and we live in a great city to indulge her adventurous spirit. The...

Colorado Craft Beer Week

Matt and I decided to join some of our favorite local breweries yesterday at a craft beer festival to help kick off Colorado Craft Beer Week. It's no secret that craft beer is a huge part of the Colorado economy. Everybody just does it so well out here. It was nice to go to a smaller festival than the Great American Beer Festival where there are too many breweries to even get to every booth. Yesterday's festival felt more like a back yard barbecue. I even got to meet the hosts of the Craft Beer Radio show on AM760. There is a picture of me with Turk and the "Gubna" below. In addition to some good beer sampling, our tickets also included a meal of either beer can chicken roasted for hours on the grill (my choice) or a spicy brat (Matt's choice). The chicken was amazing. I even let Matt try some. :) I also had some fun and took some pictures at the light rail. (We were responsible and walked/rode the train to and from the event.) What a fun day! Even better was c...

Political Aside

I’m going to apologize in advance for making this blog political for today. There is just one recent development I can’t help but post about. Last week, Congress passed a bill that made it a lot harder for credit card companies to take advantage of people through late fees and overlimit fees. Sounds great, huh? This bill would have been a lot better if there hadn’t been a certain “add-on” bill piggy backing on to the credit card legislation, making it legal for concealed weapons to be carried in national parks, as long as they are licensed and registered. Now unless you are going into a national park to shoot condors or bald eagles (which is ILLEGAL!), I cannot think of a single reason why you would need to have a concealed weapon in a national park. It’s not like they are huge hot spots for gangs, thugs and violence. National Parks are set up as a refuge for endangered species and a place where wildlife can live uninhibited. Where a hunting license would be required to shoot wildlife ...
