Yesterday we made a trip to Fort Collins to do a little shopping. And I promised pictures from our next drive to Fort Collins, and here they are!

























Wyoming and Colorado have some neat land formations. There is this really obvious and neat one where you can see where a piece of the land has been pushed up and it basically jutting out of the earth, with the layers of land exposed. It's really neat. It's a very steep incline, and it's just amazing.

This is going through it.


can you see it here??




this is looking at a break in the land








this is viewing the same formation, but on the way back to Laramie from Fort Collins






















So....I was super, beyond belief excited to find a ceramics shop here in Laramie that teaches pottery wheel classes, only to find that they recently decided not to offer the classes anymore due to not having enough employees (it was a husband and wife business and the husband got a different job). Anyways, I decided I needed a new hobby. I stopped into a quilting shop to buy some fabric to cover this ugly photo album that I bought for our wedding photos. I had to wait some time while the employee (owner?) helped some other people, and I noticed some flyers about different classes. When it was my turn, I asked about taking a quilting class. She said I needed my own sewing machine and to buy my own supplies, but that the classes were about $8 each. So of course I got all excited, and I researched buying a sewing machine. I found one that I had read good reviews about at Target and on sale, so we got it. WOO! We already made curtains and I made a purse.

here's the sewing machine


and.... my purse!!!!!






In other news, I had a few job interviews. I am supposed to hear back from a hiring person at one job this week about an interview (I did some testing first. I learned I can type 95 words per minute!) and another job is making a decision this week. I'll keep you posted....

Johnny's good. He starts school next Monday!!!
