Our Last Spring Break
Tom's getting down to his" last's". The last first day of new classes, the last big paper, the list is going up daily. While I'm jumping up for joy for many of them, I'm also using them to my own advantage.
"Ok Tom, this might be the last Wednesday I can go out the bar til' the wee hours of the morning, I guess I can rough it."
Last week was the last time he'd have a spring break so I decided to take a full week off (which I've only done one once before). I think its safe to say we both might be a little more at ease with all these "last's" if we had some more first's. Like, Tom's first full-time job or...well that's pretty much it. But for the time being I've decided its my job to come up with distractions from our reality of not really having any clue what we're doing.
We put 3,400 miles on the Scion in 10 days and somehow managed not to kill each other. Spending the majority of our time in Colorado and Utah, we checked out Denver, visited friends and family, and hit a couple of National Parks along the way.
Please go to Arches- this place rocks! (Get it) After being snowed on throughout Colorado, our last part of the week made it all worth it. I wish we could pack up on little car and go on a road trip around the US right now to visit all our National Parks and write a blog or book about them (totally lame, right). But for now, I hope you'll enjoy some of our photos from the trip. Click on the Flickr stream in the right column of our blog for all the photos, I've only included a few here.

About Our Blogroll
To the right of our posts, I'm sure you've noticed the list of blogs we follow. After about two seconds, you also probably figured out that these blogs are ones that I follow, and as usual, Tom's just along for the ride. On a weekly basis I read a lot more than these blogs, but I thought I'd take a couple of minutes to explain why I've put these blogs on our public list and why think you might be interested in giving them a look every once in a while.
Go Cougs
WSU Football Blog- Pretty self-explanatory. Not the official school blog.
Talkabout- Fun blog by my old friend Sarah who just completed a trip around the globe.
Randoms
Mashable- Updated with many articles a day highlighting social media tips and the latest innovations.
Drink Nectar- I'm getting tutored in the art of Washington wine from this Spokane native.
Confessions of a Young Married Couple- Random blog I started following by a mater-blogger on the East Coast.
Life At Law- Its fun for me to read how miserable law school is for Tom's classmates.
These blogs may be random, but they give me a laugh everyday so I hope you get a kick out of them too. Enjoy!

Nothing To Blog About
We've been bad bloggers. Moreover I've been a bad blogger. But now that Lent is upon us, I hereby vow to do better. If I'm ever going to get around to writing this book that's been on my bucket list, I've got to start flexing my muscles on something other than ISTE member benefits and exciting member-only contests. I digress..
So here are the cliff notes of 2010 so far...
2010 is a huge waiting game in the Shrum household. Tom's staying as upbeet as can be expected even though his hunt for a job hasn't been fruitful thus far. All he needs to do between now and July is pass the Patent Bar Exam, Bar Exam (state yet to be determined), graduate, and find a job.
At ISTE, I'm shifting into high-gear as our conference in June begins to take shape. Denver here we come!
Speaking of Denver, Tom and I will be road-tripping down to Colorado this spring break to visit old friends, take in some scenery, and check out a new part of the country. (Can you believe Tom's never been east of Montana, or south of Utah?) I thought I haven't globe-trotted enough yet, but geez, we've got to get this boy some miles under his belt.
Shout Outs!
I selfishly left Tom at home this January so I could use my hard earned summer frequent flier miles to visit my best bud from Sunday school, Chris Bart down in San Diego. It only took me two months to come to the realistic realization that we can't move down there after Tom graduates.
In February we made another trek up to Spokane for the Heimbigner nuptials and a great Johnson-style feast. Congrats Kurt and Leah! Thanks Mom for lasagna that doesn't taste a little off like mine does.
My college friends Spanky and Sarah graced us with their presence in Eugene last weekend as part of their West Coast road trip. They just got back from a 7 month trip around the world (and naturally they knew they couldn't die without seeing Eugene, Oregon). Check out Sarah's blog if you need some travel inspiration. I loved reading her posts each week!
Save The Date- Tom graduates May 22nd!
We are excited that our families are making the trek down to Eugene to join in the celebration. We've promised tie-dye sightings to all!
Look forward to next week for something a little more fun!

Happy Halloween
Tom may have won the Superhero contest, (he's the SuperShrum on the right), but my pumpkin on the left is the only one that made it to Halloween. We discovered that pumpkins in Eugene have a tendency to mold, and that slugs think they are yummy.
