Obama remarks on Higher Education →
In the 8th paragraph of this article, Obama mentions the IBEST program. I do advising and student support for this program for about half of my job. Obama loves Washington and I think he loves me too!!
Road trip to Montana →
View the google map which shows our driving route here. 12 hours and 46 minutes on Friday and again on Sunday. We were true Road Warriors!
The purpose of the trip was to attend the wedding of Jake’s childhood best bud. We visited Shelby 9 years ago but most people in town hadn’t seen “Jacob” in 15 years. During out short visit we were able to stop at the $50,000...

Guitar Hero queen
Saturday Night was pretty special for me. I moved into the “expert” realm of guitart hero. I was playing 2 friends who had just moved to “hard” and I finally had to upgrade to “expert” just to give them a chance.
