...and this is Tippy. He's been with us since 9-11-01! He is finally getting used to Lucy who joined our family in July!




...and this is Lucy--the newest family member! She loves to hang out under the coffee table and munch on my books when whe's not taking a nap!

Where do I begin?

It's been a while. (I think I have said that before!) I figured out why I don't post quite as regularly> It's because I have this expectation of writing something deep, profound and long. Well, after perusing a few other blogs, I realized that that is not really necessary. Given my schedule--I don't have that kind of time so I will have to try this new way.

Thepicture you see above comes from the Getty Museum gardens. When I saw that maze/labyrinth...it made me think about how similar it is to life. At times, I feel like I am getting nowhere when I am actually making progress. At other times, I feel like I am getting somewhere and realize that I am right where I started. Confusing....I know.

Right now, it feels like I am going through that maze at 100 mph. In exactly 37 days, I will be done with school and will be graduating with my B.S. degree in Human Development. This educational journey began back in 2001....one class at a time.
Of course, I am not done....I am going to pursue a Masters in Education with Special Ed. credential. I can't wait until I am done!

Then, in about 2 months, we leave for Japan! Yup...Japan. My son who's been living and working there is newly engaged and is getting married there. This should be interesting. My husband is going for the first time (I've been theer twice already)

So, this is it for now...got to get back to my reading for my last class!

Cheers...
