Ted Safe and Sound

Ted has safely arrived overseas. He calls almost every night (morning for him). It is hot there, around 115 degrees! They do have a Starbucks though! I am happy he is okay and we are able to email and talk on the phone. It is so good to hear his voice. Coley and I went on a walk/jog this morning. I have not been running in a long time, so this was big deal. We went on Woodmen Trail, a beautiful trail through the woods and up through the air force academy. It was a gorgeous day! I am attaching an older photo. It is one of Ted and I in Walnut Creek, California at the nice outdoor mall.

Camping with the Small Group

I just got back from a fabulous camping trip with our new small group. We drove out on Saturday morning and took 5 dogs with us! It rained and hailed, but we still had a blast! We saw big horn sheep and my favorite (besides driving the jeep over water) was seeing the beautiful leaves on the changing Aspens!

As a side note, Ted left yesterday. I will keep you posted when I hear from him. 

Beginning the Principal's License

Hello. I just wanted to say Hi to everyone and let you know Ted will be leaving Alaska soon. I miss him terribly. So if you know me, you know that I like to keep busy. I am registered in 10 graduate hours (4 classes) at UCCS beginning work on my Type D license (Principal's License). I am a little scared. I have never been a fan of school and it is a lot of work. This weekend my small group and their dogs are going camping. I am excited. Life is busy. (This is an old picture, but one of my friends I so dearly miss, Sylvia and Anna--Anna is pregnant in this pic and due in October! I will try to get some this weekend on the camping trip.)

Well, Ted flew back to Alaska today. :( It was a tough day for both of us. He will be going to Iraq sometime mid month. I won't get to see him again until June(ish). Please pray for his safety and quick return. Until then, here are some pictures of things we have done together the last few weeks.
