The Delay

So, it has been months. That is mostly because I "lost" access to the account when Google updated their system. This really means that I simply forgot my login until today. Oops.

Tom and I have had a busy summer. We spent the last part of May and the first part of June out in Texas with my folks. It was a fun couple of weeks and we were fortunate enough to have a friend up here who was willing to watch after our puppies for us.

July brought us Tom's 28th birthday. We spent it up in the Uinta Mountains camping over a long weekend. It was rainy and in the 70s the entire time, which compared to the 60 straight days of no rain and 90s and 100s temps we had down in Salt Lake was perfect. Aside from a little rain we had a good time. Izzie spent a large portion of her days watching squirrels climb trees, Shadow was delighted not to be over heated, and all four of us had a great time watching the moose that came frolicking through the camp site.

In upcoming events we are both starting our semester at SLCC next week. We are both excited and I'm especially nervous to be returning to school after all of this time. Tom is continuing to work towards his education pre-requisits and his math major. I will be starting a 5 course GIS certificate which will hopefully allow me to spend more time in the office and not in the field once I am completed.

I'll do better to keep you all updated from now on.

Books 2016: A Generation Rising

Image
This was our book club book last month. It is the first book in Lund's new series. From his introduction it appears that it will be another epic one. He plans on folowing 2 families from the late 1890s through tomabout 1980, or something like that. This first book follows one family in Germany from roughly 1890 theough to the end of WWI. It was moving alomg pretty well and I was enjoying it. In the middle it slows way down to allow for the "missionary" experience. I think that part could have been integrated into the story a litle better than it was, but omce he got past that it moved along pretty well again. Overall, the book is about 300 pages and covers a lot of time. The second book is out already and appears to be much more "Lund" like in length, but I haven't read it yet and neither has any of the ladies in my book club.

Why I March

Image
This past week has been a busy week for our country. Last Friday marked the beginning of the Trump administration. Saturday marked a history-making worldwide event: The Women's March. Monday marked the opening of the Utah State Legislative Session and the Utah Women's March. There have been a lot of opinions about the marches: some has been positive and constructive, others have been negative and riddled with ridicule. I thought I'd take a minute to share why I marched and will continue to march. I marched, not just because Trump won but because there are issues I felt dearly about prior to the election and they just suddenly became so much more critical or immediate because I honestly don't trust that man not to back-step rights and values that I hold dear. My journey began when I first saw Equal Means Equal (available to rent on Amazon Prime or the purchase if you are interested - please read "comes highly recommended). The documentary is described as follow...

Books 2016: Me Before You

I read this book a couple of months back. It was a fast read and not the worst story. However, it does deal with some prety heavy topics and there is a large outcry from the disabled community about the ending. A film adaptation came out recently and it has the same ending as the book, so if you are sensitive to certain issues, please educate yourself before watching it.
