This week was a lot of fun, I have done a lot of work with lindsey, I cant remember if I told you or not, but she quit her job at hobby lobby because she felt like she had gone back to the beginning and was miserable. instead we have decided that this would be a good time for her to get a website together and get a lot of her photography up on line and try to get a few small jobs taking photos here in San Antonio. She has a few contacts in the party business, and a few people have asked her to take photos for them. So its going good so far. So I have been working on building her a website that will host all of her photos, and be able to start to have an online presence and drum up a few jobs for her. Its been fun.
I also have been working on the simulation engine for a while, and pop I managed to extend the NSExpression class to support control structures, like if, also I am starting to do setting and retrieving variable values and loops. also scheduling events is built into the language, and it already works. its cool.
Also some rather large bit of news, we have been looking at getting a pet, Lindsey and me have been a bit lonely lately, mostly because we aren't used to being away from family or people that we know and not having structured time. So we checked with our apartments here in San Antonio, and we also checked with Cougar Courts in rexburg, because we didn't want to get a pet and then leave it in san antonio with some one. It seems that here any pet is fine, but in rexburg we needed to have a small pet that didn't need to go out side, thats what the rules are. So after reading and asking around for about a week and a half, we decided on a pet that would be fine here and in rexburg. We went and got a nutered sugar glider and named him Quetza, short for Quetzalcoatl. He is still a Joey so he depends on us quite a bit, and will for about two more weeks.
Its been fun these past two days with him, we have been playing with him, and he has started bonding with us, he still gets scared some times, but he is very very cute. He is nocturnal, so he sleeps all day and will probably keep us up at night when he gets older and starts romping around his cage. But we knew that when we bought him.
We also went to the botanical gardens here in San Antonio, they were a lot of fun. lots of flowers and plants and cacti, lots and lots of cacti. Apparently texas is somewhat of a desert. they also had a lot of green houses full of tropical plants. its was really cool and we easily spent the day there. Got a lot of photos of old houses that were in the gardens and a few pictures of bees as they landed on flowers.
Our lesson went well today, we were not eaten alive by the kids in our ward, the counciler to the bishop came and talked to us after wards to make sure that we weren't scarred too bad, and we weren't so apparently they are keeping us :)
Thats about all for us this week, we been working hard and playing hard. I start work in a week on tuesday, the 31st of may.
Love Daniel and Lindsey, and Quetza.
