Playing in the Rain

Yesterday there was a cloud burst and it started pouring rain while Elizabeth and I were playing outside. We ran onto the patio and watched it pour down in buckets! Then we looked at each other, held hands and ran out into the rain!!! :) We quickly dashed back under the patio, drenched and laughing. We proceeded to run back and forth into the rain and running through the grass laughing and getting wetter and wetter. What a way to spend the afternoon!

My SMCC for Fall 2008

Hello SMCCers!

Just wanted to blog a bit about an initiative that we have at SMCC that was started on year ago. It is called "My SMCC." I know you are asking yourself: What is it? How does it work?

My SMCC is a card (or other device) used by faculty to collect up-to-date contact information for students.

It works because faculty then have the ability to contact students who stop showing up to class, miss turning in a paper, etc.

The impact so far as been great! More students are successfully completing their courses.

So students - get your instructors your contact information!

Faculty please collect this information and use it to help your students!

Together we all achieve more!!!

Weight loss

Kel is down 58 pounds... Amy is down 39 pounds - Amy's goal is 299# -- 14 pounds to go... =)

We have both had "bad" days, but we bounce back. It is cool to have each other to help, encourage and make good decisions when the other wants to eat goodies. :) We also get to be the weirdos who take our food to all these work functions, because we cannot eat the high calorie food that is being served...

Also - we are Wii boxing and loveing it! Yay!!! The Wii rocks! (Yes we look like psychotic dorks when we do it - but we have a lot of fun!!!)

Life is good!

Michael Buble is awesome

On Wednesday, April 30 I went with Jennifer to see Michael Buble. He is the consummate performer! I had a great time!!! This was an awesome birthday present!
