I was please to know that people actually read my blog :) YAY!
It makes it much more fun to do this knowing that there are readers. Thank you all for following and staying with it. Sorry for the delay in posting. There are things that I let get in the way of doing what I wanted to do and so I missed out on a few days.
Kerr is closed but things went very well. We had a few minor glitches but the staff pulled through and the residents are gone. Though it is empty, this is one of my favorite times of year. The noise level is much lower and things begin to smell and look better. Those of us in residence life do eventually begin to miss the residents but the wonderful part of that is this feeling of loss happens right around the time residents move back into the building. Life goes on!
News from the front...
Grades came out since my last post as well. I was extremely happy with my performance this semester and exceptionally proud of my wonderful wife. Both of us continued our domination of the academic challenges in our lives and earned all 'As'. I plan to maintain this GPA all the way through and would feel very good about this. I wish that the student I was now is the student I was then. I'm sure everyone feels that way but there is so much about myself I have learned over the years that has helped me enjoy success in and outside of the classroom. It's a little like Solomon I suppose...wisdom comes with age.
Summer being here means that the heat is on, summer conferences are about to begin, and so are summer courses. I have 2 that I will begin in June but Dalena has already started one. It keeps her very busy but I try to give her the energy she needs by keeping the coffee going and letting her focus. Her hard work has paid off in many ways. Not only is she the president elect of the counseling honor society at UNT, she is also president elect of the local chapter of the Texas Association for Play Therapy. We keep ourselves busy around here but it's all for the good of the future. She and I have some goals we'd like to accomplish and when we're ready to move our hope is that we're both marketable.

It's a fine thing to look over to my left and see Dalena hard at work. She is a bit of an inspiration and hopefully I am the same for her. Though I have a bit more free time than her (I actually have free time :)) we still manage to have fun. I think that Wine squared (http://www.winetimeswine.com/) is calling our name. It's been a tough summer so far that hasn't exactly let us take a break.
Don is doing much better which has been a big load off of Dalena I'm sure. We were really worried about him this past weekend but didn't end up having to go to Houston. He got where he needed to go and now things are much better. If you're curious about how he is doing, the link to his caringbridge is here: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/donfonseca
For now faithful readers, I believe that is all. I'm going to spend a bit more time working on my about.me page and my linkedin. If you want to see those I'll put a link to them as well. about.me is a lot like an online business card that links all of the things you have on the web in one spot. It's very cool. Linkedin is a lot like an online resume. If you don't have one...get one. I just recently learned of this and feel behind the times. (about.me/ben_taylor)
Have a good night all. Until next time...
