The Perfect Storm

Well it's all over the news and it was a doozie! The storm of the century - well at least in the last 10 years. Here's some pictures - these are all taken about 3 blocks from Tiffanys apartment. We had lots and lots of rain and lightening struck about 1/2 mile from our house but we came through with no damage. Crazy 100 mph winds did all of this right on ASU's campus.

Me and Laurie - didn't know we were going to dress the same!
Bob and Carol at Justins Going Away Party at work. This was done in the "myspace" format!

They moved back home!

Ok so they do move back home - all my friends warned me about this. haha. Last weekend (8/17) Tiffany moved out of her apartment and into a new one with a new roommate. Luckily for us, her boyfriend and friends moved her. I think she got it (ok maybe we complained a little too much) that moving in 110 degrees EVERY summer has not been fun! We got to help a little but with fun stuff. Jenni and Justin moved last weekend (8/22) and in with us until the big leave. They had a lot of wonderful help and we showed up near the end, in time for Bob to sweat a bit! He should have gotten a later tee time. haha.

Tonight was home made chicken pot pies. Bob and I will be as big as a house in 9 days when they leave if she continues to cook like that every night. Absolutely delicious!!! 

Tiffany started her fourth year of college at ASU today. She was very lucky - she wanted a teacher to do an override on a much needed class for her degree and everyone needed to put their name in the teachers briefcase and hope to be one of 3 out of 10 that got picked. She was very happy to tell me she was picked so she got to take the class. Excellent. MAYBE she could actually graduate a semester early??? No. Oh well, better than a semester later. I'm very proud of her and her hard work lately. She's amazed me at her knowledge of anatomy now. 

I'm happy to hear I am a great aunt again - sharing the special "23" birthday number with me, Jenni, Justin and a TON of other people we know. It's a great day!  We hope and pray for Erika's speedy recovery and the three of them are home soon to start their daily lives together. Hang in there Erika and Andrew - from someone that knows, it's a tough road to cross when your health is in trouble, but there are amazing doctors out there and we just know she will be ok.  We will think only positive thoughts.

I am excited that I have also gotten HOOKED on video conferencing. Jimi Lyon and I were crying we were laughing so hard. Just love my new computer too.

Pictures soon to come!

I took the plunge!

So I've been contemplating a new computer this year. My 4-5 year old desktop has been giving me some grief. I read some articles on laptops, saw what my kids had, friends had, etc. I just kept hearing the same thing - get a mac.

Well I did! I bought a macbook today. It has a video camera built in and seems like a pretty darn simple machine. I love the keyboard, nice touch, love the wireless capabilities too! 

When you purchase a macbook because it's school season, you also get a free printer and a free touch screen ipod! Now thats fun! All these new toys, I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight.

I think I'm going to be saying bye bye to the windows experience. This really is fun.
