  • Hanging With General

    It was a great day today, we met up with General at 9:30 and went to Fort Fisher, then took the ferry to South Port for coffee and lunch, took the ferry back and then hit the grocery store and back to his place for taco’s. Pictures soon.

  • Day 1 of Vacation

    Technically yesterday was a travel day and today is the first full day of vacation, had brunch with these beauties @ First Watch in Cumming, GA.

    Then we decided to do some hiking and took Jen’s advice and headed to Amicalola Falls state park. We did the hike to the top of the falls up the stairs and ‘ouch’ is the word that comes to mind. Take a look at the first picture of me and the last one, I don’t usually sweat that much…

    We went on this hike with no provisions, note to self, have your hiking bag packed and in the truck when you are on trip where hiking could be involved.

  • Vacation has begun

    Wow, it’s been a whirlwind already and we’ve only been gone a day!

    Started out at 11:42pm on Thursday night, drove pretty much strait through to GA. Had a stop over when we got to Alabama, crossing off another state and got a chance to fire up the generator and hook up the RV at a rest stop. Had AC and everything. The only issue was that after running, the generator is hot, too hot to put the cover back on it until it cools down but who wants to wait for that.

    We’re camped at Bald Ridge Creek campground. It’s a really nice place. Here are some pictures

    Jen just lives up the road so after we decompressed for a bit, we went there to see her an Kailyn. We went to dinner at Pueblos and got to meet her new boyfriend Matt. Should have got some pictures but I’m sure we’ll see them again before we leave.

    Hoping to run into Tony and Beth for lunch/dinner today, would be great to catch up with them.

    Still trying to process that school is done, as exhausted as I was I only slept about 4 hours before I woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep. Oh well, this too shall pass and I’m super excited to get used to no stress.

  • It’s over!

    We left out of DFW at 11:30pm on Thursday night, I had turned in my paper at 2pm earlier that day. It wasn’t perfect and was actually a little wordy and the video was 17 minutes. As we were driving through Mississippi at 8am my watch buzzed, I took my eye of the road for a split second to see what the message was and my eyes keyed in on two words, you passed…

    I am now officially a college graduate!!!

    Bachelor of Science, Data Management/Data Analytics

  • Pushing the Limit

    I’m currently working on cleaning up my paper and need to throw together a video to turn in for my project. I’m almost there. Still need to get hours in at work and a quick project that I need to complete and set up the VPN, and pack. So we’re going to be a little busy. T-minus 28.5 hours until go time. If I manage my time it will be smooth. Booked into GA and Wilmington already. It will be an expensive journey for sure but I sure feel like traveling.

  • So Close…

    I’m almost done with the rewrite of the project to include commentary. Then I just have to write it up, do a video, submit and wait…

  • Summer at a Close

    It’s still warm but the heat has broken and its no longer 100 or above. It feels good to have rain again and watch the earth cool down.

    This is the last week I’ll be working for a bit. I’ve got task two turned in and waiting the results on it, I’ve begun task three and then it’s over. I’m so tired of school, what a relief it will be to have it over and done with.

  • And one more to go

    Scores finally caught up…

  • Last Class

    So yesterday I completed my Udacity Data Analyst Nanodegree, they were nice enough to give me a link to the certificate. I’ve submitted my scores and unfortunately I was denied a clean countdown because there’s no integration between Udacity and WGU, so here’s what my degree program looks like now:
