Spring Break

This last week Jeb and I have been at home in Westcliffe for our spring break. We are so blessed to have the wonderful parents that we have, and call the great little community home. Although or break has been bitter sweet.

Saturday= Jeb and I drove to Alamosa so he could talk with the Horse Trainer he wants to work with about the upcoming months.  We spent some time talking about the future and what this next year means for us, and after talking with the trainer, we found out that Jeb will have to find his own housing. So I'm not sure what that means for me next year. which is a bummer, but I know we will figure it out.
Saturday night Karly and I drove down to stay the night with Lacy. We had a great time, we went and got frozen yogurt and played monopoly with Lacy's friend Derek.

Sunday Karly and I went to church with Lacy and she treated us to smoothies and pizza pretzel after.

Monday our pastor and his family tragically lost their 9 year old boy in a gun accident. We are all very happy that Cory is now in Heaven with Jesus, and continue to pray for the Schlabachs

Jeb and I spent Monday afternoon baked some brownie bite and mini cupcakes. I used one of my dads small frosting tips to mess around with some icing.

Tuesday I made some cupcakes for the Schlabach family and guests from out of town to add to the dinner that the Stoltzfus family prepared for them.

 

Thursday Jeb his brother Tyler and I went to Pueblo to pick up a few things see Lacy and two of my good friends from high school Ruby and Mia.

Friday was Cory's funeral. Filled with tears and laughter. Cory was quite a little spark and we all are so thankful he is now in Heaven. This afternoon we are lucky enough to watch my cousin Leanne and Ryans son Mason. We all get quite a kick out of him! Leanne and Ryan are joining us for one of my dad's smoked roasts, with home-made bbq sauce.

I just love being home.

El Bano

NJC is a really nice campus, no to big, not to small, the classrooms are a small which is nice because there are never more than 40 kids in a class, dorms hold less than 150 people, there is plenty of grass around campus for outdoor activities, (we plan to sleep outside in Herbie's "back-yard" after spring break sometime)

But

 the buildings are sortof "Dated".

 I'm no interior designer, or architect,

but it's noticeable.

• The carpet in the Herbie is multi colored, to... "hide the dirt" (horse crap, cow crap, hay, you get the point.)
• Inside each room we have 3 drawers, hanging space, and a cabinet which are all early 70's looking.including a yucky pastel color lament.
• Space heaters keep our rooms semi- warm
• I bet ya that every door and window in Herbie alone has a draft.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I requested Herbie Hall both years I have gone to school here, and last year I had to beg.

"Cosmetology people don't stay in Herbie. That's where all the ag kids are."

I would respond, "I know but that's where I want to room."

"Why the heck would you want to live over there?"

Me: "I like country kids"

I went trough quite a few loops to make it in Herbie.

Every year there is a waiting list of students who didn't turn in their housing contracts early enough that want a chance to be in Herbie.

Anyways, One of the funniest things I think about NJC are the bathrooms.

I took the risk of an awkward situation, just to show you.

 Here are orange ones in the computer lab and arts building. 

The boys in the same building. Yucky green

(Notice no mirrors, boys don't need them I guess :) )

This one you have to walk in and go around the corner for the stalls. To the right of the picture was a long counter with more mirrors. This is the ladies bathroom in the student event center. So maybe the counter is for getting ready? :)

This one is my favorite:

Open the door and go down the hallway...

 sinks to the left counter top and mirrors to the right.

 these stalls are cramped into a little hallway like area.

but, plenty of room to wash your hands and check yourself in multiple mirrors!

another ladies room in the science and labs building... like the  floor tile? :)

Blue tile with pink doors.

in the ag classrooms building, the "big stall" is a two seat-er! Imagine that!

Herbie's 2nd Floor Community Bathroom, Girls Only!

Stalls and skinks in the left side of the picture, mores skins and shower stalls to the right.

The stalls are a peachy pink color and the showers are yellow.

Beautiful! {HA!}

I might be just a tad bit weird. But they are pretty funny :)
