All Ears

I got two similar questions:

Q: How did you add this all ears thing?

Q: How do you make a question/comment box? Is it a poll type Gadget?

I got my All Ears question box by googling Wufoo and searching around their site. I asked my SIL, Jana, how she got hers and she told me just that, google Wufoo. It took a little bit of looking and then I found it. The questions come to my email.

Thank you to everyone that has given me questions!!! It's made blogging more fun and I am sure you like it more too! Keep up the good work!

Yeah!

I got a phone call from ASU today. They asked me why I wasn't enrolled in any classes. It felt SO good to tell them why. Because I have no more classes to take!!!! Yeah!!!

I could have graduated this summer but I already applied for graduation in December. I get to graduate with Talmage and my sister, Amanda. So we are thinking about all walking together or at least having a party. Then our family and friends won't have to be bored out of there mind watching 3 graduations.

Did I tell you I am excited? Relieved? We'll I am! It feels nice not to have another homework/test/project deadline or look forward to another semester full of them. I am a free woman!

Disclaimer:
Um, don't get me wrong, I learned a lot and would do it again if I had to but it is nice to be done. I am not trying to convince anyone from going to college. Best eight years of my life, JK, no but really did take me eight years,

Summer Days at Grandpa and Gammaray's




















Wrestling

Heber loves wrestiling, mostly with Talmage. But when he is not around, it's Hannah's turn. Hannah likes it for a little while until she is pinned. Poor thing.

Q: Crusts, crusts....where are the crusts????


A: Crusts is one of Talmage's many nick-names. Think family bicycle trip from Globe, Arizona to Canada, dry lips, maybe a bit crusty. Hence the name Crusts.

Where is crusts? He is at Luke Airforce base this week, last Friday to this coming Friday. He will be there the following Monday-Wednesday too. He is there for his annual tour.

What does he do with his free time? This week has been full of studying for him. He is getting ready for the GRE, Graduate Record Examination. It is a four hour test that he is going to take this Saturday. It is supposed to help him get into grad school. I hear tales that it is one tough cookie.

He is also trying to narrow do his search for grad schools. Any advise is helpful and wanted. Here is some that come to mind. Go out-of-state. Stay. Move somewhere where you want to work and live to get to know the region. Etc.

Do you have any advise on grad school or taking the GRE?

So if you all go out of state, what will happen with the castle? and when are you thinking about ditching the san tan folks, if at all??

If we move out-of-state for Talmage's grad school next August, we will probably rent our house and then move back here after our adventure is over. But selling the house is not completely out of the question. To tell you the truth we aren't 100% sure where we are going and if we will leave at all.

For me it is a little inner battle:

If we stay then we won't have to go through moving, finding a renter or possibly selling our house. If we stayed we would still have family around, big plus. I have moved to about 7 different areas (and moved more inside of those areas), I am a little tired of remaking friends. I would like to stick to the familiar.

But, I also think it would be nice to go. We are young, the kids aren't in school. So it shouldn't be that big of a deal right? It would be a new experience and fun to look back on. Plus it would be better then going on vacation somewhere (maybe), cause you go through all the hassle to get there and you get to stay a little longer. We would get to know the area better. It would be an adventure!


What do you think?
