Such a Positive Attitude!

When I was an Undergrad, the first day of Fall semester was a day filled with much anticipation and excitement. I usually wore a cute outfit, had all my binders pre-labeled and organized, and couldn't wait for classes to start. Oh, how times have changed. I guess by by one's 15th semester the newness has worn off. Since my class is from 7:00-9:45 pm, I am already exhausted before it even begins. That has to be the worst time ever. I live too far from campus to bother going home, so I just end up working in my classroom until it is time to go to UNR. This week as I walked to class, I was already thinking that at least I only have 15 more weeks to go. Yes, the light is at the end of the tunnel, but it seems so dim right now. December 6, 2008 is my new favorite day. That is, if I pass.

Down by the River

It was Jamin's birthday, and we pretty much celebrated it for a week straight. I am glad Jamin is a Leo, because he definitely compliments my Gemini mood swings! :)

Anyway, we started out with a nice birthday celebration at the Light's new home in Dayton. Heather decided to make Jamin a birthday cake so she could improve her cake making skills before Max's much anticipated first birthday party. Being the helpful friend I am, I allowed her the privilege of making Jamin's cake. It was either that or buy cupcakes from Wal-Mart. I think I made a great choice. Here is the cake in all its glory....


On his actual birthday, I made a spectacular dinner spread that was pretty amazing. We then went and got ice cream and opened gifts. Good times.

Then over the weekend, we went to tubing on the Truckee. My brother Tyler is in town for flight trainings, so he went with us, as well as my sister Jamie and her boyfriend. When I went down the river, I of course crashed into a rock, which was pretty embarrassing.




After that we went and got sushi, and played a mean game of Scattergories, which I won of course! Tyler said they let me win, but that is such a lie. I won fair and square.

So that's the recap of Jamin's amazing birthday bash!!

Update

Good Evening, friends. I am sure many of you have been waiting with bated breath to hear the lasted from the Hunter's. Well, there is not much to report. I am back to teaching, and I am pretty sure this is the best class of my career thus far! I love all my new students! It's been an amazing start to the year.

Not much else is going on. We spent last weekend perusing the cars at Hot August Nights, followed by a nice little BBQ at our place. We went a little extravagant and bought a $52 steak!! It was a dream of Jamin's to sample this particular type of steak, and it met his expectations. I am not much of a meat connoisseur, and I just dip mine in 57 sauce, so a steak of this quality was a waste for my banal palate. It was a good experience, nonetheless. Well, that is all, and I hope to post some pictures of us soon.
