Well, although I would like to say that we spent labor day weekend working around the house, cooking out, and relaxing like most people would on labor day weekend...we didn't. Unfortunately Santi had to work all weekend, and I was stuck working on things for kindergarten AND grad school which started yesterday (yes, on labor day). I am really looking forward to the day when Santi and I aren't BOTH in school and working. It is so hard to spend time together. Not to mention with his current job he works a lot of weekends. Hopefully in about 2 more years we will both be finished with school!
Because of our crummy labor day weekend, we decided that we might do a short little getaway during my upcoming fall break the second week of October. Due to no snow days in the desert, I actually get a week for fall break! Last year it was two weeks, but they cut it down to allow for an earlier summer release next year. I will take one week over none any day. Because I LOVE fall and we don't experience anything really "fall-like" here in the desert, we are thinking of going up to Prescott or Pine Top. Both are in northern Arizona in the mountains. We thought it would be fun to get a little cabin and take the dog with us. I hope we can scrounge up enough money to make that happen. I think it would be delightful:)
Speaking of traveling...I am headed to Indiana the weekend of Sept. 13th. I am in Amanda's wedding and looking forward to it! I am not looking forward to getting behind on all the work to be done here, but I will be glad to go home and see friends and family as well as escape the heat. Santi and I were joking as we walked the dog tonight that we could tell "fall" was approaching because it was under 110 on our evening walk. I must say, the sunset was gorgeous tonight. Nothing compare to an Arizona sunset over the mountains. Living in the desert just like anywhere else has its ups and downs. I do miss water and the seasons....but I will trade those for the beauty I experience every day here. It is magnificent! If I REALLY miss the seasons or water, Prescott and Pine Top are only a couple of hours away.
Well....I should get busy on some grad school reading, I am sure it will be riviting.
