Update.

So we have about 4 1/2 more months here in Laramie! I can't wait to leave.... I will miss my job and the people I work with but I can't wait to be home! We got some bad news the other day though. Our lease is up on July 31st and our landlords won't let us extend the lease for the last three months we are here so we have to move :-( and since we can't find any apartments that will let us sign anything less than a year long lease we have to stay in a hotel. The good news - its only $500 a month and it's free internet and cable! We are still looking for apartments because the motel we found is in a sketchy part of town and I just wouldn't feel very safe ya know?

Alex update - He is doing amazing in school! He is working on his Yukon at school right now and getting credit for it! Yesterday he was doing some welding on on the Yukon and two instructors came up to him and complimented him on his work and then the assistant cordinator came up to him and looked at the welding job for a bit and then shook Alex's hand and said good job! :-) He has a 97.5% right now in the class which is the highest grade in his class out of 46 people! And the next grade under his is like a 95%! So proud of him!
