July 20, 2014

Hey sweetie!

How’s it going?  How did your week go?  Did you get the other baptismal commitments that you talked about?   Are you getting along with your companion?  What is he like?

I am the most spoiled person in our family!  I know, you may think that others in the family are more spoiled…but it is not true!!!  Your sweet father bought me a new computer.  My computer would not hold a charge…it was very frustrating.  I could not take notes on it—it would die about an hour into the lecture.  Dad then bought me a tablet.  I hooked up a keyboard, but I could never really type on it…the keyboard was too small and I could not get the hang of using it.  It also lost it’s charge…it was so frustrating.  So, we went to “look” yesterday—and I came home with a MacBook Air—yep, I have an apple.  It is supposed to remain charged for about 9 hours.  We shall see!

It is an adjustment though.  Things are similar but different.  I am attempting to get acclamated before the semester begins.  Because I am able to get Microsoft office for the Mac through UCCS.  I have that…it is awesome!  As long as I have that, I don’t have to do too much adjusting.  I want to gradually move over to the apple word processing.  We shall see!  So far, it is working out pretty good.

Let’s see…what else to talk about.  I can’t remember what I wrote to you in my letter…hopefully you got the actual letter!  Did you like the photo album?  Ryan had asked for one, so I thought you would like one!

Tiffany went to a church dance last night.  It was the outdoor one that they do every year at the Liberty Building.  I think she really enjoyed herself!  She came home all smiles.  She danced basically with 2 guys!  She came home ALL smiles!!!  It was kind of cute!  I think she is really into boys!!  She actually put on makeup  and put a necklace and earrings on.  She looked smokin’ hot!  :)

OH, speaking of Tiffany….I think she is about ready to take her drivers test.  She has been doing real well.  The only thing I worry about is that she will get lost.  She has NO sense of direction…kind of like Jessica, ha,ha.  If you have time to write her for her solo experience that would be great!  You only have a week to get it to me.  I have to turn her letters in no later than Sunday…they would prefer earlier.  I think it would be nice…she really misses having siblings around.

I have hired Alex McManus to cut my trees.  The front tree needed trimming (he did that already).  Then there are trees in the back that need done.  Dad doesn’t have the time or inclination to do it, so he gets to.  He has really been working out.  I am surprised how buff he is.  He will be returning to New York (I think—somewhere back east) soon.  Ryan McManus graduated from the School of Mines.  He has a job in Denver.  He is dating some girl that used to be in bad (don’t remember who—looked on fb.  it is Rachael Scharp.  Anyhow, according to his mom, things are getting serious—may be a wedding in the near future.

I am healing real well!!!  I was actually able to mow and weed eat and trim the lawn on Friday…didn’t hurt my wrist at all.  My ankle is still sore, but that is life.  I have been walking every morning with Sheri McManus.  We are up to 3 miles a day.  My goal is to get 10,000 steps.  So far, I am doing pretty good.  How are your burpees?

Well, I don’t have a lot more to say—haven’t really done anything exciting!  I guess I am boring, ha,ha.  Well, always remember who you are.  Mind your p’s and q’s.  Be strictly obedient (remember tomorrow is always a new day!).  Work as hard as you play. Know that I love you beyond measure!!

Love, Mom
