Utah pics

Jenn and I ride the ski lift up to where we would get on the zip line. (Katie took the picture from the chair behind us.) Katie and I raced on the zip line and I kicked her butt!!! (It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I weigh more than her!)


The view from our room. How many conferences do you go to where you wake up to this every morning??? Notice the little blue tram that we rode up to the top of the mountain, where we took this picture:

Katie, Lindsey, Jeanette and Jenn enjoying the view at 11,000 feet. Take that Michigan!

Intelligent Falling!!!

Just as ridiculous as teaching that other intelligent "theory" in the science classroom. ;-)

I'm baaaack!!!

I'm back in the world of the internet again. The ABS Conference went very well and I thoroughly enjoyed my two weeks at the lake. It was also great to see some of you brave the cold temperatures and come out to do some water sports, even though I couldn't get Katie and Anne off the Seadoo! Look for pictures from Utah soon.

Isis was naughty while I was gone. While Katie L was taking care of her, Isis knocked my plant stand over, getting soil all over the carpet. She also ate some of the plant which caused her to puke all over the floor. Katie kindly cleaned it up, for which I am very grateful. I think Isis just missed me and was acting up to get attention. ;-)

I'll be trying to get back in touch with the world next week. Also, classes start so I'll hopefully see some of you "campus people" a little bit more. I'll be up on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As for the rest of the weekend, I'm just going to take it easy and get back into the swing of things in the real world. The only problem with vacations is that you have to come back from them eventually...

Farewell!

My blogging is going to be minimal for the rest of the month. I am off to the ABS conference in Utah tomorrow, and once I get back from that I will be spending two weeks at the lake. If you need to contact me, try my cell. Have a good August everyone!

Skydiving postphoned

Sadly, I did not get to go skydiving on Saturday. The place called Katie at like 7 AM and told her they were having "building problems" (whatever that means) and that they would have to reschedule us. Katie and I will be in Utah this weekend, so the earliest we can try again is in two weeks. We are majorly bummed out, but we are still determined in our quest to jump out of an airplane! (Although we prefer that it not be the one we are riding on to or from Utah!)
