oh mary!!!

I JUST WANTED TO POST SO EVERYONE WILL KNOW!!!! MARY, YOU ARE ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE FAMILY MEMBERS! it is a hoot to hang around you! it's in all caps so to look as if i'm yelling it out to everyone! hahahaha that's for you! so now can i see that pic? pretty please!

oh yeah....

So I got to thinking that I didn't want to live in AZ anymore. Also I didn't want Travis to have to be waiting for 2 years to get into the Physical Therapy Assisting program here. So I got to looking around and making some phone calls. One of the places that I was looking into for Physician Assisting was Texas Tech. Their PA program is in Odessa, TX at their Health Science Center. Well Odessa also has a college that offers the PTA program for Travis. So I called down there to figure out tuition and GI Bill stuff and what the wait would be. Well the Academic advisor said he could get in next fall. Also Texas is one of the few states that the new Chapter 33 GI Bill pays the most. AND best of all they still consider us NM residents and we got in-state tuition! NICE! So we are now moving to Odessa Texas! It'll be nice being only 3 hours from my parents and 6 hrs to San Antonio my two favorite places. Although I'm not a fan of tornadoes and flat lands with no wind break. I think I'll live getting to achieve my goal( being a PA) and helping Travis to achieve his(being the first EVER in his family to graduate college). So Peace out Arizona! :)

Fun time in New Mexico? sorta....

So I sent Travis and Sean to New Mexico for 3 weeks without me. I met up with them and the Buckners at my grandparents 70th wedding anniversary/ reunion. It was alright. I got to see some of the family I wanted but my favs that I was hoping came didn't so I was a little bummed. Sorry it turned into an almost disappointment....BUT I still had a good time with the favs. :) Here is from our scenic canoe ride. LOL Trav and I and my big bro and his wife went up and down the Black river. It was a hoot as we laugh and watch Jamie and Goga bicker.

The lovely wildlife we came across....like hundreds of turtles.

Captain Travis bossin us around.

Jamie and Goga right before we headed out.

The Amazon!!!! lol

I tried....

Us before we got on the boats...don't we look ready to go?

Princess Kiera tossing rocks in the river! Sean and her fight over stuff a lot so he's not there in order to keep the peace. It's hilarious to watch them battle!!! When he chases her after stuff he shoots 'webbing'(which is really him just making the sound and the hand gestures that spiderman does) thinking it will stop her! I tried to get it on camera but it didn't work out. Next time I'll be sure to catch it because I know better now! hahahaha

Sorry I didn't take many pics. actually these are the only ones I took. Just wasn't feelin it this time. oh well! I'll live!
