Reliving the college days with NAU football

I helped one of my old college professors from NAU with a research project his past semester. For a thank you, he got Dustin and I tickets to an NAU football game and had a tailgate party before with brautworsts, hot dogs, chips, cookies, and hot chocolate because it was a little chili. We were sitting in the first row at the 20 yard line. It was fun to go back to the good ole' college days.

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Here is what our first real snow of the year made our "backyard" look like! Beautiful as always!


And we are supposed to get a few more inches tonight!

Maci got her hair cut again this week!! She is shivering all the time without her fur coat! And it doesn't help that it is snowing and cold outside!! :) She appreciates her sweater!

Sunday Afternoon Adventure

Dustin and I were leaving our apartment to run some errands and noticed something that looked like smoke or dust coming out of the dumpster. We walked over to it and it was smoke for sure! We called the property manager while our neighbor called the front office and got a hold of maintenance. Another neighbor called 9-1-1 and soon enough a fire truck came and had gas masks on, sprayed water from the truck, and then eventually had to hook the hose up to the fire hydrant because the smoke just wouldn't stop. They got the fire out safely! It was fun to see the fire fighters in action!

Scary squirrels that were used to people so much they came a little too close for comfort.



Great background!
