amazing

I am almost in tears as I read everyone's posts. I am so blessed to have a family like this. We are truely one of a kind. I think we have an amazing family! It is so good to hear from everyone. Hopefully this will continue and more and more family members will post. As for me (Stacey) I just thought I would let everyone know what is going on with Jason and me. We are currently in Marquette, MI. We moved up here the end of August to start school. We are going to North Michigan University. www.nmu.edu I am basically a freshman all over again, but what I am going for is my nursing degree. If I can get into the program I should be done in 4 years. Jason is in the English Masters program. He only has class 2 nights a week. But it requires a ton of out of class work. I am so glad I am a freshman! :)

I just started a job at an answering service here in Marquette. We answer phone calls for companies all over the United States. My first day was on Thursday and it's a little daunting just with all the information I need to retain and all the steps I need to take. But I am sure I will catch on in no time. Jason is working at the ice rink that the school owns 3 days a week as well as some weekends. The Olympic speed skating team trains here in Marquette so it's cool to watch them practice.

It has started to get very fall-ish here. For all of you who are not in MI I will elaborate so you can get a good picture. :) Lately anytime of day it can be raining. Or raining and sunny. Sunny and cold...etc. you get the picture. The trees are not yet to prime colors, but they are definitly getting there. And it is just beautiful. Hopefully I'll be able to take some pictures and I'll post them sometime with in the next couple of weeks.

Keep up the posting. Don't be shy! Anything you write we want to hear about it and pictures are always welcome!

Below are some pictures I took Thursday morning. I was going to go back to bed after my class, but I grabbed my camera instead. And I got some really fun pictures. For a point of reference. The body of water is my new favorite great lake. Lake Superior. And these are taken only about a mile or so from my apartment from Presque Isle Point. I think you can see it on a map.
