Summer!

Yay! Summer is finally here. It has been cold and rainy here the last few weeks, with a few sunny-ish days here and there. But today is clear, sunny and hot. Well hot is perspective, so it's probably more just like 80 or so, but it's hot to us!

Summer just makes me happy. The sun is so great to have after a LONG winter. Plus this being my first summer here in Rexburg, gives it a sense of excitement! Not to mention I have my Hubby! Though he is busy with school, work and now more work! :) But that's Daniel for you. His newest project is Setting up the TA position for the CS department. Which is way cool for several reasons.....
1. He gets to develop the course. All of the tests, quizzes etc. Which will be great for getting a job for the school in Grad school.
2. Will then get to teach some. Again helping with a position at grad school...
3. He gets paid!!! Not even close to what his regular job pays him, but the highest the school pays any student working for them!

It's a big project, but will be GREAT for Grad school. If we go to University of Texas in Austin, Which is probably where we will be, Daniel can work for the school. Most of the Grad students do. And if he does he wants to be an Assistant Instructor. Which gets paid pretty well. Plus they would then waive his tuition and he being faculty, makes my credits very, very cheap.

So Daniel found out the CS department has no TA, but was offered to set it up if he wanted to. Daniel wasn't sure if he wanted to do it or not, but in the end it was the right thing to do!

So anyway. Daniel is busy and I am busy keeping up with him. But we do find time to spend time with friends and be together. So all is well. Plus with it warming up, more camping, hiking, biking, etc. :)
