So we are now in Redmesa, Colorado. We are living with Brian's parents right now. And honestly, it's not bad at all. Brian is doing some work for his dad on the farm. I am finishing up my online schooling. I should be done in the next few weeks. Yay! So we have been doing alot of canning with Brian's friend, Dan, and his wife, Jena. It has been quite exciting. I have never really done any canning so it has been a very good learning experience. We have finished canning peaches and making alot of jam and syrup. I have lost count of how many we have. For labor day, We went and picked a bunch of pears. And the trees were super tall. We ended up just shaking branches and letting the pears fall to the ground. But they ended up alright. not too many got bruised. We made quite a bit of jam from the bruised ones though. We are still not finished with the pears though. We still plan to do a lot of pears in syrup. All the fruit we have gotten from doing this will save us quite a bit of money while we are at school. Thank goodness. Plus, home canned fruit is always better than from the store.

We also were able to get a bigger set-up for our fish. We now have four fish. Two small common goldfish: Jasmine and Albert. A bigger goldfish named Gary given to us by my little brother. And a black moor named Tom. His eyes pop out of his head quite a bit.

It has been quite an experience for me to live out here in the country. It is much different than what I am used to but I am learning alot. So it is pretty great. Things are going pretty well here in Redmesa. Life is sure exciting. We are always going somewhere. We don't stay in one place for very long....
