Biking

One beautiful clear morning, our family decided to go the the nearest Greenway to ride bikes. After 5 miles however, it started to downpour! Many people we saw were pulling over to protect themselves from the abrupt flow of rain but Nathaniel and I kept biking away. We soon exited the dense raincloud to find people happily enjoying their morning stroll in sunshine. Drenched from head to toe we, yelled "Go back! Go back! It's coming." I wish I could have taken a picture of their expressions as we passed by. It was priceless.

By the time we got to our car, the raincloud had switched directions leaving the sky once again beautiful and clear. Even though we had a few confused stares, we had fun nonetheless.




It's hard to tell but Nathaniel and I really are soaked. The girls were kept dry in their little trailer.

Internship in Alabama

Nathaniel and I lived in Huntsville Alabama for 10 weeks back in the late Spring of 2010 while Nathaniel did an internship at NASA. It wasn't as relaxing as I thought it would be because Nathaniel also needed to do research which consisted of testing trips to Nashville. So in the period of 10 weeks we had moved from Huntsville to Nashville and Nashville to Huntsville 10 times. Now that wasn't packing up all of our belongings but it still required a lot of packing bags and miscellaneous items. A common phrase during this time was "Oh, we left that item in Nashville or Huntsville depending on where we were. I felt like a nomad during this time. But enough about me. Even though Nathaniel had so many deadlines and complications with his internship and research, he persevered through it so honorably and patiently. My respect and love for that man has grown immensely. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to tell him to just quit after he explained to me the complications he was having with his experiments and that he would be in the lab for another 12 hours or so.

He finally was able to finish his experiments and quickly wrote a paper for it so it on top of writing a code for his internship. His internship primarily was writing a code that would detect mechanical problems on a satellite that will be going up into space in the Fall. He also did research regarding the quality of the satellite that would be going up into space which was very useful to the people there at NASA.
