Fall Break!

Nathan and I will be able to go home for Fall Break tomorrow and stay until Monday evening. We are looking forward to spending time with our families! Nathan's friend Zane came from Sidney to visit us this weekend and go to the Husker game with Nathan and his cousin Tristan. While they are enjoying the game, I am at home making chocolate chip cookies, watching the game on TV, working on our wedding pictures, and getting ready to make enchiladas for the guys when they come back after the game! I am very excited because I have not tried to make them before!

Nathan celebrated his 24th birthday last weekend! Unfortunately I had to work most of the day but he didn't complain much since he was able to relax at home and watch football while catching up on his homework! We did get a bit of a surprise though since we woke up with a few inches of SNOW outside....

It has been a chilly week in Nebraska! Thankfully, the sun came out today for game day and Nathan, Zane, and Tristan should have enjoyable weather for the game.

Rock Climbing

Nathan and I are keeping up with our busy schedule of school, work, and keeping up with friends and family. We are beginning to get to the time in the semester when we get flooded with tests and assignments. A big reason why we can keep up is the fact that this is our last semester of college! Nathan will be attending a Engineering Job Fair on campus this week! Please PRAY! He will be talking with possible job offers and we will be spending alot of time with the Lord about where He is leading.

Last semester we were able to register for the same UNL Outdoor Adventures Rock Climbing class. The class was only 2 weeks long and ended with a weekend trip for some outdoor rock climbing in south western Minnesota! It was a blast! There were only a dozen college students and four staff. We enjoyed some real rock climbing that was both challenging and fun!

Another exciting happening is that Eric graduated from Basic Training and moved on to his next phase of training in North Carolina! Dad and Mom were able to go down for the graduation and also visit Holden, Rachel, and Azariah as they lived only 4 hours from where Eric was for Basic. They had a great time visiting with Eric and attending his graduation ceremony! At his next phase of training he does more access to a computer so if you would like his military e-mail address just e-mail me at amanda.fries09@gmail.com.
