Daily project

So I noticed that I really don't post here unless I have something interesting to post about or if Braydon did something new and exciting. Therefore to keep my family and friends updated I've decided to do a little project. I've seen on other blogs I read daily people are doing these 31 day challenges. They answer a question everyday and therefore have posts to fill up for a month. I'll work on creating a list and then post the list as well as my daily answer for the given question.

Warm weather is here

It's official the warm weather is here!  It was in the upper 70's all weekend.  We spent almost all of this weekend outside enjoying the weather.  I also managed to purge Braydon's toy box, purge his closet, and order his birthday party supplies.  It's amazing that boy has already outgrown his 2T clothes.  I guess that means now I get to do some more on-line shopping! 

Dad and Dottie visit

This past week we were lucky to have Dad and Dottie visit us again. Dan gave them mileage so that they could come visit us, well we know it was really more visit Braydon but that is alright too. It was hard for me to go anywhere because I had school work to do, but I tried. They had fun with Braydon and we went to eat at a few good places.  The only sightseeing we really did was going to Taromina and the new mall. I wish they had stayed longer but it was still nice having them here.  Since they left Braydon is asking for them everyday and doesn't understand why they aren't around. He won't see them in person until we go home in October for Sam's wedding. At that time he will be 2 1/2, that's hard to imagine. For now we will just have to settle for Skyping every weekend.

School is almost over

Alright I know I've been slacking in the amount of post's but this last class was killing me.  Tomorrow night is my last class. I took my final yesterday and now I just have my paper and presentation due on Wednesday.  I can't believe that this journey is almost over. I started my first class on June 30, 2009 and I'll finish my last on March 30, 2011. We just got word on our graduation and it will be held June 2, 2011. I wish it was back in the states so more of my family could be there. But I am more then happy that my son and husband will be there to support me. Although I highly doubt Braydon will sit through the ceremony, can you really expect a 2 year old to sit till for a long period of time? Once school is over I'll have more time to keep up with my blog and hopeful get my husband to get back to school.

School

Tomorrow I start the last class for my MBA.  It's a little exciting to think that in six weeks I'll be finished with a major goal in my life. However, I'm not very motivated to start working on my paper for class.  You see before we have our first class we are given an assignment to complete.  Normally they are papers related to the chapters that you need to have read for the week.  This one is still a paper but really doesn't pertain to the readings.  We have to write a paper on Ethics.  While this topic is one that I have written about before and believe is a must in the workplace, it's something I have trouble writing about.  I understand Ethics, but I never can get it into words.  I've known about this assignment for several weeks (they post the syllabus well before class starts) and just now I'm trying to get it written. 

Argigento

Yesterday we took a tour to Agrigento which is a city located on the southern coast of Sicily.  This city is known for the Valle dei Templi (Valley of the Temple). The temples date back to the B.C. era.  We saw the Temple of Juno, Temple of Concordia, and the Temple of Heracles.  It was amazing to see these temples because I studied them in Art History.  Braydon loved the area because he was able to run around (it's closed off to cars) and pickup rocks.  After we visited the temples we headed to the Bagliesi vineyard.  We sat in the room that houses the wines as they ferment and chill.  We had a ton of different little appetizers and several wines.  I purchased a box of four wines (2 whites and 2 Nero d'Avola) Nero d'Avola is a read wine typical to Sicily.  This was a great day, even though Braydon only slept for 15 mins the whole entire day.
