Tonight I start a new class at school, Creative Writing. Hey, maybe my writting will become more creative. I can only hope. I am nervous and excited. I haven't gotten out of the house on my own in a while. My last class was on the Internet. It is nice to be my own person instead of wife or mother. It is fun to meet people who don't know my family. I am worried however, about finding time for my homework and finding time for sleep. A little time away from the family makes them all the more special to me.

The weather here is getting better. We can see most of the grass now. I can't wait until the snow at the playground melts. Lily is a wild one and getting out and about is great for creating long naps. The sun is very bright today. Yeah!! I am going to try taking Lily for a walk in the stroller instead of the gym as soon as the tempurature gets into the 50's.

We very much want to take a trip to Australia and New Zealand, however we haven't found the right opportunity yet. Air Fares vary from more than $2,000 per person to less than $500 per person. Hotels vary in prices as well. We really want to see both Australia and New Zealand, we want to stay in Brisbane to see Australia Zoo and Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter. We want to see the Outback and Alice Springs. We want to see Christchurch and the area where the Lord of the Rings was filmed. That is a lot to want. We only want to spend $6,000. I am on a mission. I will find a way. So much research so little time.
