Life

On Tuesday, Jeremy went out in the field with Mike (his boss). They were looking at all the stream diversions they had done on the Rio Grande. I don't know how many there are, but they were out of the office all day! It was a beautiful day. There was wind, but not the blow you over kind we have out here a lot. I know he took pictures because there are a number of presentations that they need them for: the Army Corps of Engineers has a big grant out there for work on the Rio Grande and there are additional grants they are looking into. If he has time at work, maybe he can post them.

I have been "stuck" in the office for the past two days. I say stuck because I usually get to leave to go to my next location, but I was in the office all day. It is really the lazy way to work. I write some thank you notes, update things for Jane, and do random other little things. It gets to be a long day when I am there all day, mostly because I am not very busy. Today (Thursday), I return to the food bank. We usually have plenty of people to serve and interact with, as well as shelves to stock and things to do. I am tired by the end of the afternoon, in a good way.

We had our really late softball game last night. The wind was blowing (literally) 40 mph or more, which managed to pick up all the dust on the infield and blow it directly into people's eyes. It was not really a very pleasant experience. We lost 4-14. I think that's okay. I mostly just wanted to get out of the dust and go to bed. Hopefully, it won't be so windy at our next game; if it is, I'll just have to wear ski goggles :)

We are really excited because we get to see our parents this weekend and the following week. On Saturday, we drive up to my aunt and uncle's cabin north of us to see my parents and spend time with other relatives. Then, on Sunday, we meet Jeremy's parents in Colorado Springs to sightsee there a bit. His parents will be here until Thursday morning. My parents are going to hang out with my aunt (my mom's sister) and uncle (my dad's brother) until Thursday and then come meet us in Alamosa. They plan to stay until Sunday afternoon. It will be a busy, but good week. Please keep them (and us) in your prayers with all the travelling that will be happening. I will still try to blog some while they are here, but I am not making any guarentees. Oh yeah, I added the picture of the Bolder Boulder racers, just scroll down about two blogs to Friday, May 30 (Catching up: Part 5). Have a great Thursday.
