Never in my life have a met a person or animal as excited to start a new day as Pete. As soon as I throw the comforter off in the morning and get out of bed, he knows. He knows he gets to go outside, then come in for breakfast. It's like me being asleep is the same as me being gone to work. Now that I'm awake, it's like he's meeting me for the first time. His tail goes crazy, he starts running all over the place, his hair stands up, he pants. All just because it's morning. I could only wish to greet each day with half of that enthusiasm. I've decided it just isn't in the cards for me to ever be a morning person. I used to hope my resentment towards waking up was just a "teenage thing." Then I hoped it was a "college thing," then "adjusting-to-a-new-time zone thing." I have realized that it is just the way I'm wired and I will be dependent on coffee to function for the rest of my life.
Chris is going on week four in the field. This past weekend, while he was home, we went to the casino, went golfing, had a couple nice dinners, relaxed, watched football. I'm not sure what we'll have planned this next weekend, but it'll be one week closer to the end of this field problem. Maybe take the pups to a nice dog park and go geocaching with them. We're both looking forward to Michigan over Thanksgiving. I have a dress appointment with Mom and Sid which will be exciting. I may squeeze in a run just to see how training at a higher altitude has affected me : )
This was a pretty short post, but not much out of the ordinary going on. I did get accepted into UTEP's Master's program so I think I'll be starting that in January! Other than that, not much new on the home front.
