A long absence

Wow! It has been forever since I've been on here! Things have been so crazy at school that I have not had the time to do anything other than school stuff! Let me give you a little recap of what we've been up to:

Shawn - He finished his first semester of Grad School at Georgetown. He has completed four of his classes and next semester he will be student teaching at Dunbar. Lucky him!

Me - I've been busy with school and my extra stuff. For instance, I've had two speech tournaments this month (one that dragged on forever yesterday). I'm also serving on a Leadership Grant for KWLA (Kentucky World Language Association) where I'm helping to rework the Kentucky Standards for Foreign Language teaching.

Caitie - She is almost halfway through Kindergarten. I can't believe how fast she is growing up! She is active in gymnastics (trampoline and tumbling to be exact), dance (ballet and tap), and Daisies. Our week is very packed with Caitie activities!

Colin - He is 8 months old now, crawling like a maniac, and desperately trying to stand up. He eats like a fiend and has the most infectious little smile! Next month he goes in for his 9 month check-up!

Licking a peter

No, I'm not being dirty. Shawn and I went to see the Capitol Steps last night, as we do every presidential election eve. One of their big skits is called "Lirty Dies," where they flip the first letters of two words. Now, go back a re-evaluate the title.

Though I won't say who I voted for, because though I am proud of who I voted for, I don't want anyone to judge my decision that I have the freedom to make. That being said, watching John McCain give his concession speech right now, I am humbled by his great ability as an orator. He is so honest and open with his emotions and praiseworthy of not only his running mate, but also of his competitor.

I really don't know how we could have gone wrong with either Presidential candidate.
