You are a well disguised nerd!!!


I love that Kenny likes school and wants to go back. He loves to be challenged physically and mentally. I am proud of him.

Last night, we were catching up with a couple that subs for us at Bowling. I am proud of my sweetie so I told her Ken was doing all the necessary steps to start school in the Spring. She asked if it was for his bachelors. I said no, " He already has an MBA (Masters in Business Administration) but he wants to get either his Masters in Accounting or just a CPA". Her response was priceless.

"You are a WELL disguised NERD". She meant it as a compliment but it didn't come out that way. Poor Kenny. he was teased all night about being a nerd. Well, he gets teased often about being smart. He has been called a dork, a nerd, graph man...the list is endless

Sweetie, i don't think you are a nerd or a dork. You are always looking out for our little family and doing what you believe is best to keep us progressing. Thank you Kirby and Chris for teaching him the value of an education.

I love my "nerd".

We said "yes" - Yoga said no

A few weeks ago a posted about our yes list (which is growing by the day! We just added welding). The first thing on our list was Yoga. What an adventure!!

We did a quick search on Google to find a Yoga studio in our area. We were able to find one rather close that offers fundamental classes every Saturday morning at 8am. That is perfect, we thought. We will be able to do a few classes to decide if we like it. If we do like it, we will buy a pass.

I emailed the Studio and confirmed pricing, dates, times etc. I even made sure our name was on the list for the 8am class on the 10th. Saturday morning came around, we got up, showered and got ready - skipped breakfast as they say not to eat 3 hours prior - and headed out. Skipping breakfast is never good for Ken or I. We both get a little...testy. Class started at 8am so we got there at 7:50 to make sure we were all set and didn't hold up the class.

No one was there. The lights were completely off and we could not see any movement inside the building. We sat in the car and waited.

At 8:05, I got out of the car and tested the door. It was locked. We decided to wait until 8:10. If they did not open by then we would call it quits and head for the hills. Sure enough, we ended up going home. We salvaged the morning with a little Top Gear viewing while we ate breakfast and had our coffee.

So, the question is, What do you do when you say YES and the world says NO? Try, try again I suppose. We will find another place and shoot for another attempt on the 17th. Let's hope second time is the charm! Tee Hee!
