Moving????

Okay so it is true. We are planning on moving to one of the apartments at Alan's work. At first we didn't like the idea of living on site because we have this wonderful house that is in the woods next to the river and a large pond but now we are thinking that it would be good for us.

We are going to be able to go back to school and be a lot closer to everything. We are thinking that by living on site we will be able to help our mother earth by not using as much gas and we will be helping out the company by having someone on site.

Okay but the real reason is to save money and to go back to school. We will be only about five minutes from campus and downtown. Plus it will be a lot cheaper rent and no utilities so double bonus.

Stacy will be going back to school first and after a while Alan will go and get it done. Stacy is looking into Social Work for her major and Anthropology as a minor. Alan is planning on going into nursing. We are thinking that Stacy could be able to graduate with a bachelors in two to three years. Alan would be able to do the RN progam in about the same amount of time. Nothing is set in stone right now until we work out all of the details and logistics of the process but we will keep everyone in the loop and let you all know what the final plans are and when the change will be coming. Until that time nothing is changing.

Oh the Beauty of NATURE

So this has been a very exciting and happening week. On Wednesday we went with Alan's work and residents to watch an Idaho Stampede basketball game. It's not bad getting paid to go on a date night. We got court side seats and ten dollars worth of food each. Why can't we always get paid to do things like that?

On our way to the store on Saturday we were able to watch as a graceful eagle majestically soared over our heads with a large fish grasped in its large and powerful talons. Shortly after we saw a loving mother goose with her newly hatched baby balls of fluff standing beside the pond along the road way. Later in the day after helping with an alternator problem, we decided to go for a fish. Upon arrival of said pond we watched as a large (ten to fifteen pounds or even larger) grass carp jumped out of the water after some little bugs a few times in a row. We had a couple of visiting fishermen at the pond with us but they were unlucky and did not catch anything. We however were very skilled and were able to fight and prevail over the fish. We caught a total of five before calling it a day. Oh and did I mention that it was all with flyrods and not the traditional spinner rods?

Our largest prize of the day was a five pound Smallmouth Bass that put up a real good fight and did not want to be caught. He was pulled in and photographed to ensure that everyone is able to see just what we are all about.
