Great riding and a pumpkin...

So on Thursday it was mine and Rebecca's 2 year anniversary. We had a great day, well she had to work during the day, but our evening events where great. I got her a massage, which she really needed, we went and got sushi, watched the new Office, and ate the wonderful pumpkin pie that she made. It was so good, no pics because we ate it too fast...
Since she was working during the day I figured I would go out and ride, it was too nice not to. I did the blueberry loop but the edited version since I was on a road bike and didn't feel like getting stranded... I ended up getting some great pictures, but they don't do the colors or view justice. You had to be up there to get the full affect, I tried to bring back proof to prove that my story was true...

Fizik the Woolly Worm.

I found this little guy on the road, he was looking for his friends but sadly they have all been run over or eaten by birds. So I picked him up and put him on my bars to see how long he would stay with me. He hung in there for a good while, I named him Fizik. But sadly a big gust of wind took him from me. It was like in "Cast Away" when Tom Hanks lost Wilson, I grew so attached to that little worm, we spent a whole 5 minutes of climbing together, we really bonded, he will be greatly missed. NOT!!!

I was surprised that there where so many leaves out still, we have had some really windy, rainy days. Plus I don't think 2 days of snow helped either. But they are still here and beautiful.

This is the pumpkin we carved!

We got this guy yesterday and carved him up. We also baked the seeds, they are so good. I forgot how nasty the inside of a pumpkin is, and the guts where soo cold. Hopefully pumpkins last more that 2 days in the mountains. In Florida they last for like 2-3 days before they rot, because it is so hot and nasty. I think since it's nice an col that this little guy will last for a while, I think we will sacrifice him when we have our bond fire this weekend or next. It shall be epic, more info on that to come later... Till then, stay groovy...

Once again it is long time no post...

Sorry to my loyal fans, I have been busy and have not updated in a while, I apologize. So here is what has been happening lately... School has started, I am RA for 3rd floor Tennessee. Rebecca has been enjoying her new job in admissions, except the traveling does get old after a while. Nimbus has gotten very big, and is still growing! I am still working for the B&B which is great! I am pretty busy with class work and being on duty a lot. It seems like I am on duty every night of the week... I love my classes, lots of work, but fun none the less.
One of my fun classes is printmaking, we take slabs of linoleum and carve out designs or pictures on it and then roll ink on the carving and then print it on paper from there. It takes a while to make sure the carving is right but it is really cool! Here are a few examples of what I've done so far. They might not be the best but I'm learning...


I also am taking web design, we got new macs in the mac lab now! They are so sweet, we now have Adobe CS4 and we can burn cd/dvds on the computers, were as before none of them worked... Eric is in that class with me and we have some fun. Cept he isn't very smart and doesn't know how to turn on the computer or use a mouse... It's ok, he's kind of... special...

Like I said Nimbus is getting much bigger! He is so cute and sweet and will be getting even bigger as time goes on! I can't wait till he is all big and fat.
Well that's pretty much a small recap, I don't really have anything funny to report but I am sure I will in the future. When I do I will post it ASAP. I will be better at my postings and will update weekly, at the least. Thanks and get ready for some stories!
