It seems like it was only a few weeks ago that I met R and now we are married. We got married July 20. It was a nice wedding too. Only a few friends and family were there. We had shrimp and cheese and cake. It was a really nice day too. Not too hot and not raining..which was a miracle considering how the weather has been going lately.

R is going back to school too. He is going for an associates degree in renewable energy. He has been out of school for 25 years and is having trouble getting back into the studying but otherwise is liking it just fine so far.
It would sure help if there was more sources of financial aid out there for students his age though. It seems like most scholarships are for kids just out of school. So far what financial aid we have seen only covers tuition and/or books. Even the loans I have seen say the money is supposed to be used only for tuition or books or other direct costs of college. Apparently you can buy a computer if it's to be used for college work..but you can't pay your rent so you have a place to live while going to college. Hopefully we won't end up living under a bridge for the duration.
