Pics I Should Have Posted, but Didn't

These are from our excursion to New Mexico. 

Concerning Trend

I'm working as a mentor for college students in an online university.  I love what I do.  After several months of interacting with students, I have noticed an interesting trend.  Not many people do what they say they are going to do.  Of the 90+ students I work with, I would say I can count on less than 20% of them to consistently keep the commitments they make to themselves regarding their progress at the University.  It is a sad truth that many people are willing to betray themselves.  When considering trust, it is important to have others trust you.  It is perhaps more important to be able to trust yourself.  More and more it seems acceptable in our society to say what we think we should, or what sounds nice, regardless of what we actually intend to do.  Even in cases when the right intentions are there, so often the discipline to keep our word is not.  

Happy Birthday to Me

For my 27th birthday I went to a fantastic little pizza joint with one of my favorite people.  Girls night is such a wonderful thing.  Thanks for the fun Marissa!

Please Allow Logan to Give You a Tour of our New Backyard

Welcome to our new yard!

We have lots of potato bugs and ants under rocks.

This is our shed.  It is where I keep my tools.

This is a little running path.

This is an old pole I found in the bushes.  It is good for lots of things.

Here is my garden.  Mommy helped me plant it.  

This is my little river.  I find things in it.  

I like to play in the water.  I'm usually muddy by 8 am.

We have lots of plants.  

This is my raspberry patch.
