school work?

Half way through the semester already! Yep! Midterms are within a week. School has been so nice!! I feel like I'm able to appreciate this opportunity even more since I've taken a year break from full-time school. My classes are so interesting and not too overwhelming. It has reminded me of how much I really do love to learn.

So Jeanne has been just a peach when it comes to my classes. Not literally but she has decided she's going back to school with me! It's hilarious/great! When I come in to work for her, she has me teach her everything I have been learning. Then she pulls out her books from her library that pertain to the subject and reviews and discusses it with me for at least an hour. She herself knows quite a bit. I'm thinking Am I really getting paid to review my homework? But she loves it! She tells me she feels she has gone back to school again. Haha... it makes me laugh. It has been a real blessing that she has been so flexible in working with our school schedules-- something we would have never imagined but are really grateful for.

Recently Cameron and I have been biking more. To and from school or just around for fun. Last Sunday we biked with our friends Lindsay and Sean to the North Shore to look for sea glass... haha... I don't think we anticipated how long it would be. About 26 miles there and back but it was pretty fun. It's been peaceful riding to and from school to just have quiet time to think and enjoy the air! (and saving gas $ too!)

I just found out about the whole Jeanie thing. That is so great that that worked out for you guys. And I totally get the whole "am I really getting paid to do this?" I feel that way every time I'm at the beach or at Legoland or somewhere fun with Sierra. Isn't it the best!
