So Chad and I don't have a lot to report. We stay very busy with school and work. Chad was just recently out of town to Rico, Colorado for a few days. I always miss him, but he always gets lots of overtime hours so we are always very thankful for his out of town opportunities. My mom was here last week to stay with my sister Nichole who just had her first baby. We had fun visiting with her. This last week I had fall break, so a whole week off of school! Yay! I have missed my pottery class while off school though. Here are a few of the pieces I have made so far.
Chad continues to add more interesting creatures to our salt water fish tank. We had a disease in our tank kill off all our fish. yes, sad, i know. So because of that we had to wait about 45 days before we could put in another fish. We still have about a week left to wait. But for now he has added a few other creatures.
In the left corner is our first anemone and just below and to the left of that is a soft coral called Xenia. Then under the rock arch is a fire shrimp. That little thing is really fun to watch. It will climb all the way up Chad's arm when Chad cleans the tank. On the sand is our red hermit crab.
It's kind of hard to see, but in this picture is our Emerald Crab. He is right in the center of the picture.
This is our second anemone. They are so beautiful. I had to convince Chad to get this, he would have preferred some other weird looking thing.
Lastly I just wanted to post these pictures of Chad and I. One is the night of the first "Snow" of the season. It was melted by morning, but I'm still counting. The other picture we both just really like.
Fun to see pictures. Clair I love the pottery. I have always wanted to learn. Chad I love the tank. I had so much fun watching it while we were there. We miss you guys. Hopefully it won't be too long before we get to see ya. LOVE YA!!
ReplyDeleteHi Clair- Thanks for suggesting I create a blog. I all ready have had an interaction and some nice comments with a young man from China. Interesting... I love being able to go to your blog and see new pictures of you and Chad. It helps me not miss you so much. You are a wonderful daughter. All my love.

The pottery thing has always been something I have wanted to try, it all looks so good! And the tank is really great too Chad. You two look happy and cute as always. Are you still coming for Thanksgiving? We sure hope so. Aunt Diane
ReplyDeleteI didn't tell you how beautiful the pottery you made is! I've always wanted a picture like that!!! Keep it and use it.
