Update

I am in that mysterious place where I may or may not be graduating soon from a master's program. It's that place thats not fun. I have begun to ask lots of questions because I am ready to move on. I have spent the last 11 weeks revising the ABSTRACT (10 times).


Also I am starting a new job later this week. I am grateful to have had so many opportunities available in this economy.

The wedding planning is plodding along a little at a time. Cheryl came to Modesto to try on dresses, and we decided on the color and style. A couple days later I received a phone call that the dress was discontinued, so I went down to the bridal shop on my way out of town last Friday and selected a similar style in the same color (antique plum). Later that night in Los Angeles Ranier and I selected a shirt, vest, and tie that he will wear. We also discussed the groomsmen's attire.

The girls and I returned late tonight to two very lonely cats waiting in the driveway. Julia will welcome the incoming seventh graders as part of the WEB program at her school at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow. She practiced her phone skills earlier this weekend by inviting several new seventh graders personally to tomorrow's orientation.

My coffee is beginning to wear off now, so I will say "goodnight".
