you know it's been too long

Geez, you know it's been too long since you've blogged when you can't even remember your password!  Yikes.  This semester has just been insanely busy.  I have one class that is completely kicking my butt, which makes everything else feel so overwhelming.  But, I am half way done with the semester and just weeks (36 days, not that I'm counting) away from graduation.

So I have started the job search.  Very scary to put yourself out there in this economy, but not quite as scary as this:

I was absolutely terrified.  The first day of Entomology lab we "had" to hold Madagascar hissing cockroaches. 
But anyways, I have been applying all over the country so we'll see what happens.  I just hope I am not out of work very long after school ends.

We have been enjoying an amazing fall.  They completed a really nice bike trail a short distance from our house.  Skott and I have been riding together a couple days a week.  We try to go around 16 miles or so.  Most days I try to ride to school as well.  But the last couple of weeks I have been running on very little sleep so I have slacking in the bicycle/exercise department.

Justine & Max, Carrie & boys, and Skott & I went to the Como Zoo and Conservatory in Minneapolis last weekend.  It was pretty amazing!



We were also able to go to Mason and Aundray's last football game.  It's easy to spot Mason, he is the tallest one out there (#68) and Aundray is to his right (#61).



Dad, Sherry, Carrie, and a very enthused Ray

I'll leave you with my favorite picture from the conservatory (good eye, Skott):
