Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I should have looked at the calendar. There is no way Colorado can get away with spring sliding in so easily without the April snow that always happens this week. The view is foggy, and patches of green are poking up through the white snow. Yes, I said snow. Thankfully not as much as I have seen in years past and the roads are dry instead of icy. I shook as much as I could out of my tree friend yesterday, so I hope he is alright. What trouble did we cause this week? Amanda had quite the roller coaster. Frustrations with the capstone group, approval from the professors, good news for the showcase, a...
Good morning and Happy Sunday! My little corner of the Fort is bright and sunny so far today and I am loving all of the green I see. My tree friend out front has declared that spring is here has sprouted tiny leaves all over. I even got to sleep with the window open last night without freezing myself out. Maybe a few more weeks will see the lilacs around town return. What did we do this week? It is more of the same with a bit of a different flavor for Amanda. It is the final push to the end of the year and the final push to the end of the degree. Capstone is still a bear as...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I am still trying to shake off the cobwebs of crash and burn kind of sleep that I didn't expect after waking up at 430 this morning. I am glad the wind didn't reek too much havoc here last night as my tree friend out front has decided spring is here with lots of buds. Mother Nature isn't too sure yet as the temperatures were all over the place. What did we do this week? Amanda has been taking care of RA duties with being on call once last week and over the weekend. Somehow the freshmen this year have been extremely well behaved and not caused any trouble. Very different from her summer session...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's very quiet morning in my little corner of the Fort. The sky is slightly overcast yet it is warm enough outside to sleep with the windows open. I love being able to snuggle deep into the covers with the cooler temperatures. Spring is here and not, as per usual for a few more weeks. What did we do this week? Amanda has received the go ahead on graduation! Students have to apply to graduate which puts their transcript into a review process to make sure that all of the requirements have been met. She applied back in January and finally received the good news this week. We were concerned that she would have to...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I have a different window to view the day out of this morning as yesterday's sleepover moved locations in the wee hours. The tree outside seems to be holding its breath in anticipation of spring. Smart tree has been in this location longer than I have and knows to be patient this time of year. What did we do this week? Amanda has been working on her capstone project. One member of her group is great and the two of them have been on the same page the entire semester. They spent part of the week molding ballistic jelly for their prototype. The other two members have not been communicating well or making meetings which...
