Details, Pics, and More
Well, I guess for starters I have a good lead on a job. I would be a case manager at the local mental health center. All they really require is that I have a Bachelors in Psychology (I'm pretty sure I have that one covered) and it just so happens that one of the guys who is doing the hiring is Wren's second cousin. I am amazed at how well connected Wren and Cliff are here. They either know someone everywhere here or else they are related to someone. Frank says that was a pain to grow up with but that its really helpful in situations like this...we both need jobs and it never hurts to have someone inside pulling for you.
Tomorrow we are having a big yardsale for them. They have a bunch of stuff they want to get rid of, and if we run the whole thing then we get to keep the profits. According to Frank, when someone sees a yardsale at Riverside Dr (where we live) they come running to shop because they figure it must be good stuff.
I've got a few more pictures up. The addy again is http://photos.yahoo.com/aibarnett
There are a few that I took with my phone so they aren't the best looking. Pretty much its the sheep out at the field. Wrens family owns this 5 acre plot of land where they hold gatherings, grow pecans, and raise sheep...and keep the bird dogs. There is a cute little lamb out there so I had to take pictures and I think I also got one of Milo trying to chase them. I'm hoping to get back sometime and take a picture of the puppies they have right now. They are the most adorable things ever. Unfortunately they grow into large destructive animals. The bird dogs are all very well trained and are nice looking dogs, they are just LARGE. The people who own the land behind the field have an emu farm so I have a picture of one of them :) The picture taking is slowing down now that Frank has started his summer class. I'm still hoping to get down to the Living Desert State Park/Zoo and get some pictures taken there. I'm also trying to go through the pictures we took at the caverns and see which ones are actually postable. Our camera doesnt do the best at 700ft under ground :)
We did get to go see the bat flight one evening. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen...about half a million bats all trying to leave the caverns at the same time. The just kept coming and coming...I would say we watched them for a good 30 mins before we left, and they were still coming out. They spiral out of the entrance to get some speed and lift and then fly out into the night. It looked like a large black tornado...as it got darker you couldnt even tell what they were...you just saw this grey shadow moving against the cavern wall.
On to details of my ring...I am trying to get a picture of it, but the details arent coming out so well so I will just describe it the best I can. Its gold with about a pretty decent size diamond in it (now that I'm trying to describe it, I completely forget what the actual size is) On either side of the setting there is a small flower carved into the band. The diamond has a circle cut to it (I want to call it a princess cut but I'm a little rusty on my names)
I imagine theres a lot more to say right now...but this is probably the largest blog I've ever done...and I've done some big ones :)
