81 Days Later...

 [Originally Posted at www.azchick.com]

It would seem an update is long overdue - and alas, here's one for you!       
  • University of British Columbia next semester! - with a serious contemplation of a switch in Majors (graphic design, photography, or English/Secondary Education... maybe).
  •     
  • No really big plans for summer yet.  I think we just booked a condo in Mexico for a few nights in late June, and Courtney (hopefully) is coming to visit for a bit in July.  School starts... September 5th, I believe, so I'll be headed up there in late August.
  •     
  • Everything is swell with the family.  I have no idea what Caleb's plans are next semester, but as far as future-career plans, he's still headed down the game-design track.  "Dad's" school is opening another campus for the Fall, so that's kind of exciting.  And mom is still working at the hospital.
  •     
  • My grandparents (from my mom's side) came down to visit in... early April, I think it was.  'Twas nice seeing and spending time with them!  We took them down to Mexico as well.  Actually, there's a funny story attached to that trip (haha, I don't think the Body's have any trips without funny/ironic stories attached).  Anyway, we bought these huge bags of Cheetotis (knock-off of Cheetohs), to bring back as gifts.  And when I say huge, I mean huge...  (here's a photo from our last trip when we saw them - )

    So anyway, we bought two of these bags, and of course, with the 6 of us in the van, we had to strap them to the roof.  We found a trash bag and put one in there, and then the other one just on top of the roof, and tied them down with bungee cords.  A few hours out, somewhere in Southern Arizona, my mom looks in the rear-view mirror and sees this trail of Cheetotis behind us... So we all turn around to look, and here we were littering them all over the road, and they were bouncing off the windshield of the car behind us... and the entire back of the car was covered in orange Cheetoti dust.  Haha, I don't know why I didn't take a photo!  Ah well.  It was quite funny though, and we ended up having to sit with these huge (not terribly pleasant smelling) bags in our laps for the remaining (not terribly short) ride.
  •     
  • Oh, and a family photo (missing Caleb!):
  •     
  • I just got back from a trip to NC.  I went for Courtney's graduation/birthday, so that was really fun.  And, of course, another picture for you...
  •     
  • And, lastly, I finally acquired a new laptop!  (No, it's not a Mac.)  Aside from the (somewhat-expected-and-increasingly-annoying) Vista flaws, it seems quite swell and I quite enjoy it!  It's an HP tx1127cl... 12" Dual Core and touchscreen/tablet!
Well, that's about it for now!  I'll try to remember to more frequently update!  I hope everything is going fantastically with everyone - it seems like I've not chatted with several of you for quite some time!
