We drove to Phoenix last week to visit Grand Canyon University where Ally is planning on getting her nursing education for nurse practitioner. It is a small, Christian college near downtown Phoenix. Ally spent one night in the dorms. We made fun of their mascot which is an antelope. The mascot is named Thunder, and you give the 'Lopes Up sign to show your spirit (see photo)...
We lost third gear coming back into San Diego. Didn't know what was going on at the time, but barely made made it over the mountains. The van is getting a new transmission... $3,400 -- the most we have ever paid for a car repair. However, I will say we have had the van for almost six years and never had to repair anything, besides the normal wear and tear. And it was two years old when we got it. Since it's a Honda, our mechanic says we should get at least another two hundred thousand miles on the engine. And well, I don't want any car payments, so we did it.
I had problems downloading the new operating system from Apple onto my iPad, so I was without it for two days. I almost died of withdrawal. Got it working again yesterday and almost took it to bed with me, I was so happy to have it working again.
The pin is coming out of the claw in seven days! It will have been six weeks, and I can't wait!
I need to get out my fall decorations... lagging behind -- as I seem to be doing in all areas of my life right now.
