Winter update / misc. stuff

Man, I haven’t written a blog in forever. Life has been busy for sure. I’m loving school. I’m taking classes in Archaeology, Indians in American Culture, the Holocaust, & Museum Studies. My favorite is probably Indians in American Culture. We watch movies and read books/historical documents, and look at how Native Americans are portrayed. I lucked out this semester. Only 1 class with actual tests. The others are filled with various projects and papers. Most of my classes this semester are on Tuesdays & Thursdays, so essentially I’ve got 5 days a week to do homework and study.

Aidan is getting so big! I cannot believe he’ll be a year in April. That blows my mind. He’s just starting to walk a little; taking a few steps towards us at a time. It’s so cool to see him grow and do new things all the time. Our church here is doing baptisms/baby dedications on Aidan’s birthday in April. That’ll be awesome to have him dedicated on his 1st birthday.

Finances have been rough here. So much in fact, that I even admit it would have been smarter to stay in Phoenix for a while ’til I graduated. We even occasionally bring up the idea of moving back to AZ, even though it goes against every fiber of my being. Hopefully, we’ll be in better shape after I get a job this summer, whatever it is. Be praying for us if you could.

Aidan & I are flying out to Portland, Maine next week to visit my family for my Easter Break. It’ll be great to hang out with my parents. And Portland is amazing. In April, Sarah & Aidan are going to Phoenix for a visit. I wish I could go, but it’s the week before my finals. I know they’re looking forward to seeing family & friends.

Other stuff:
-I’m getting back into NBA basketball again. It sucks not having cable, so every Sunday afternoon I try to watch a game on ABC. Go Kings & Suns.

-I am beyond impressed with Victory Brewing Co. in PA. They make some of the best beer I’ve ever tasted. Their Hop Wallop & Storm King Imperial Stout are out of this world.

-Why does every printer we have end up biting the dust within a year or so after our purchase? We’ve gone through 4 of them. Screw it. We’re just gonna live without a printer for a while.

-Go Obama.
