Ok - so here's a brief update of our life recently. If it looks familiar to some of you that's because it's the same email that I sent out a few days ago. Enjoy!
Hello Family and Friends!
Just thought that I'd take the time to write everyone to let you know that we're still alive :) We are :) We've had some worries about floods in our area but we aren't close enough to any of the major water ways for it to be a problem for us. Our garden (as well as the weeds) are starting to come up - we should have spinach before much longer YUM! (A huge thanks to Mike's parents for helping him plant the garden while they were here over Memorial Day weekend and I was stuck at work - hopefully by some very substantial miracle I'll manage to keep at least some of it alive long enough to eat some of it.
Michael is getting into the swing of things for the new semester (which is probably a good thing because midterms were last week). He's doing quite well in all of his classes, he was a little worried about his Sports Med class but that seems to be the least of his worries now. He's staying busy with work (loading trucks in the early AM for FedEx and Sports First Aider through the school) as well as with homework. (I'm trying to be a good sport about all of these picture taking outings but three hours of exposure time for one photo is a lot of patience for this girl!) I've officially been approved as a University Studies Major (about time for me just to settle down and pick something - right mom?) So I'll be graduating in April 2012 with a minor in Home and Family Living, a minor in Marriage and Family Studies, and a cluster in Interpersonal Communication. I'm looking into becoming a Certified Family Life Educator so hopefully additional classes won't push back graduation any further. For right now though I'm working full time, still as a receptionist at Rigby Chevrolet. Definitely never a dull moment around here. Anyways, just thought I'd give you an update on life around here since I've been neglecting our blog. (which I've resolved to be better about ... maybe ....) So all of you people are now holding me accountable for doing so. You can check it out at www.keepingupwiththefeiks.blogspot.com Maybe I'll get Michael to post some of his photo assignments for you. Hope you're all having a great week!
Love,
Lara and Michael
P.S. Mike gave me a brief lesson on how to use his super fancy camera with lots of buttons so hopefully one of these days (after I've weeded) I'll post some wonderful pictures of our garden.
