Memorial Day was wonderful! We took the day off and enjoyed a much needed rest. It was so fun to have a three day weekend together. We visited a few headstones in the cemetery on Monday which is one of my favorite things about this holiday.
Mark began looking for duck nests at the Brigham city bird refuge. It went well and they found close to 50 nests. He had a few adventures with camera malfunctions, including melted wires! But he’ll figure it out! He’s also receiving help from the department’s statistician on his dissertation proposal. Once his statistics are nailed down it will be all set.
He also found out they were not approved to use grant money to buy a truck for the lab. So they’ll continue to rent one from the university. But that means he now has money to spend on the cameras!
I am getting baptism gifts ready for children in our ward. I ordered nice journals with a picture of Christ’s baptism on the front and I think I’ll put a quote inside the front cover.
I’m hoping work will get busier soon. We’re offering our course free to people with disabilities to celebrate WebAIM’s 20th anniversary. We also have some big contracts in the works which is really exciting!
Our garden is continuing to grow! It’s small (which means not much weeding, yay) but it’s really fun and we’re proud that things are actually growing.
Flynn is his same cute self! His rash is totally gone and he just has a few more days on his antibiotic. I think he’ll miss his daily dose of cheese though. We’re continuing to train him to be quiet when he’s home alone (he got too used to us working from home every day and forgot how to behave when alone) and he’s doing well. We can leave him in his crate rather than his playpen now which is awesome!
