Yay Mike!

Today I'm here to brag about my husband a little. Many of you may be wondering what he's been up to in school and how he has been doing this first semester. Well...awesome is the answer! Mike loves going to school and I think he is truly enjoying everything he has been learning. This is our last regular week of school and exam week is next week. We'll both be done by that Wednesday.

In Mike's machine shop class the big project of the semester was creating a rifle barrel from a barrel blank. He was the first in his class to get the project completed and got a 97% on it!!! Below are some pictures of the process he undertook in making the barrel.

Clearly, he is magnificent! If anyone has any specific questions please leave a comment and I'm sure Mike will be happy to answer them. The other big project he has been working on is a trapper pistol in his bench metal class. It will be completed this week, and then I'll put pictures up of it as well.

In other great Mike news...we found out on Friday that Mike got a seasonal park ranger position at Trinidad Lake State Park for the summer. So we'll be working at the same place, which works out great since we only have one car. I'm so proud of Mike for all that he has accomplished so far and all that he will continue to do. I know he loves what he has been working on and for that, this move to Colorado has been worth it.
