Here We Go Graduate School
It is official........I got accepted into graduate school!!!! Starting in January I will be working toward earning my doctorate on-line through Concordia University Portland. It will take three to four years and at the end I will have an Ed.D in Educational Leadership with an emphasis in Higher Education. I am super excited as this has been a life time goal.

Return from Inactivity
Greetings, one and all. Gidget and I have had many adventures since we last logged on. We actually got inspired by our friends blog and realized that we really slacked off last year. We went to California and did not find it pleasing, so we moved yet again.
We are now living in Spring Creek, NV. It is a beautiful valley nestled below the incredible Ruby Mountains. We are just outside of Elko on I-80. If you head to the hospital and keep going over Lamiolle Summit, you will roll right down into Spring Creek.
I am a counselor at the middle school and it is working out pretty well. We are renting a 3 bedroom trailer, so we have space if you are up for a quick getaway. Be advised that right now it is very cold in Spring Creek, dropping in the single digits or below zero nightly. This means that if you are looking for a warm getaway, you had better travel elsewhere.
Gidget has a fenced yard for the first time in her life and she loves it. She still loves to run around outside the fenced yard when we first come home, but when I let her out in the morning I don't have to worry about her going very far. There are two Labs that share a fence on the side of our house with her. She is fine until I start talking to them, or give them treats. Then Gidget really tells them off. There is also a kitty that lives under our place. It drives Gidget nuts and every now and again you will see her shoot off like a rocket after I open the door. For some reason she can smell the kitty in the electric heat vents in our house. Sometimes she goes from room to room barking at the vents. It is pretty hilarious.
Well, enough for now. I will try to do better at keeping this updated, but we are not actually living in a very lively place right now =)

Welcome to my BLOG
A year ago, for teacher appreciation week, we had to come up with a title if our life was made into a movie.
"Chills, Thrills, & Chocolate"...........was the name of my movie.
Since, I am now entering the wonderful world of blogging, I felt the title was appropriate and should stick. I hope that you will have fun reading my entries and tracking my life this way. As my friend Marilee in Arizona would say,"I am a terrible e-mailer." I will attempt to be much more diligent and hopefully entertaining with my blog. We will see how this goes. Remember that you can post comments to my blog. Thanks for keeping track of me and yes, little Gidget.
