Where have I been????

Wow, what a busy time! In late August I started school again, then on Aug 30th we flew off to Pittsburgh for a few days visit with Rick and Sarah and Jakie, then back to catching up at work and really getting into school.

I have survived almost three weeks of school, and so far, am still passing stats! It is going to be a challenge of the first order. Hopefully I'll find some friends that will help me when the going gets tougher...(it's already tough). We have a field trip scheduled though...to Smith & Edwards in Ogden...ask me what we're going to do there.

Work has been extremely busy and I have been trying to catch up on all of the things that I didn't get done while out for 4 days (1 for school, 1 holiday and three other days)...there's one thing I gotta say: NO ONE DOES MY WORK WHILE I'M GONE. So it waits.

It was great to see the Rick, Sarah and Jake again. Jake has grown so much! I am always amazed at his adult conversation and his thought processes....he's a lot of fun, until he decides he can get away from you in a store and RUN...scares me to death! When they picked us up at the airport, I was the first one to the car, grandpa was still getting the luggage...Jake, true to his grandpa-fan form...said, "Hi Grandma, where's Grandpa???" He loves his grandpa!!!! Good thing the feeling is mutual....it was hard to come back as usual! We saw the sights of Pittsburgh, Gettysburg and even a little Amish country...and very impressive is the size of the company that Rick is working for...amazing the number of beds in a 5 block radius must be over 1,700-2000. Amazing...and 95% occupancy...crazy!!! After seeing that, I am glad for our measly 500-ish beds in our region. Whew!

Wherever we have been, we're back home now!
