Well we've been getting alot of stuff done lately. Me and Rick are now both registered for the fall semester at snow college here in Richfield. Rick is going into the drafting program. Since he was a plumber he dealt with house plans and stuff and has always been interested in them. So since the plumbing is on hold for a little bit, he is going to pursue the drafting idea. He is signed up for full time, he is taking 4 classes. A basic CAD class, a math class, a basic drafting class and a skills USA class. I think he is nervous but he is excited to try something new and get into it. I only have to take one class, which is microbiology. So alot less then Rick but I need to work and everything so it will be good. We got registered for classes, applied for financial aid, and everything to get ready to go back to school!!
Rick has been getting going with vocational rehab. He's had his first appointment and got accepted to voc rehab. Then he had to go take alot of apptitude (spelling?) tests. I bet that wasn't fun at all, he was there for like 4 hours testing the whole time. But it was to see what he'd be good at and what his strong points are. We have an appointment coming up with a guy to assess Rick and see what he needs to get back to school and work. We're hoping they will pay for modifications for a truck, maybe a power assist chair and school. But we're hoping for alot of things so we'll see what happens. But hopefully we can get everything going so he'll be ready by the time school starts.
We've been still working alot for both jobs. They're both going really good. Therapy is going great! Rick has been really good at exercising lately. We go on walks and he pushes himself as far as he can, he's been using a hand bike to work out his arms and shoulders and he lifts weights and all sorts of things. He's getting way strong and independant.
Our cute little puppy Tuff got fixed yesterday. It was so sad. I hated just dropping him of at the vets and leaving but I did it. He's still kinda sad and mellow but I'm sure he'll snap out of it soon. He's my favorite puppy ever!!!

I'm excited for all the things you guys are doing. Poor Tuff! Yesterday Kelli says she wishes Tuff was our dog. I found that funny since she is terrified of him. She says he's just so cute. I hope we can see you guys soon!
