Storm!!

We had quite the wind storm today! Good thing we had nothing planned tonight but to sit inside. Check out our wavy trees in the video. This is life and "The Lake".

Problem Solved!

Finally, after weeks and weeks of fiddling, I have solved the big issue that is keeping my thesis from moving forward! Thanks to Mel for letting me stay at work late :). Now I can move on to actually doing things that will be interesting to write about.

A Moment to Brag

Yes, my grades were FINALLY posted this morning! And in case you can't read that very well, it says "A" in both of my summer classes!!!!!!!! (Click on the picture to make it bigger) Not to mention my increased GPA of 3.88!!!!!!!!!!

So summer semester was good to me. : )

I was so anxious all this week because my professors said that grades would be entered by Monday. Apparently UVU doesn't let students see the grades immediately--very disappointing.

Now we're just waiting for financial aid to come through.

School starts on Wednesday, we're celebrating Peter's birthday next Saturday, and then it'll be right back into full school-work schedule one last time!

It's Over!

My first ever (and last) college summer classes are over. I can't say finally because they didn't last long enough for me to wish they were over. I woke up this morning happier than I have been in a while just knowing that I had absolutely nothing to worry about today: no reading, no papers, no presentations, no work!

So now onto all the things I wish I had time to do all summer long! I've got a week and a half to prepare for Peter's birthday, get books for fall semester, learn to use my sewing machine so that I can makes some repairs that have been waiting since about May, organize pictures, scrapbook, watch movies, read, etc... I'm also working a few more hours this week. It'll be good to get a bit more money so as to compensate for the minimal hours during the next four months. I'm not worried about it. I'm just glad that I can do whatever I want and not worry about deadlines. That's the beauty of part-time jobs--absolutely no outside commitment.

Grades will be posted on Monday. If it's good, you'll hear from me! : )

The Disaster (almost)

Today I had one of those gut wrenching, life altering disasters... My hard drive apparently had no partitions on it! For those that don't know what I am talking about, it just means that windows didn't think there was anything on the drive.

All my photos, all my music, all my videos, all my documents, and all my wife's of the same were, apparently, gone. After a half hour of hopelessness, I finally just gave up and decided to try a data recovery firm. During church I realized that I DID backup at least my pictures, but not for the last 8 months. What a disaster!

After church, I miraculously found a possible solution. Apparently Windows 7 didn't give it a drive letter. BLEH! All that worry for nothing! Now, my pictures are being backed up as we speak. Also, we are planning how we are going to keep them backed up. What a crazy adventure. But, through all of it we realized that it doesn't matter if we have the pictures, just that we have the memories and a future. All is well in the Lieber home.
