April 2025
I need to get caught up, so here is the month of April:
End of break
Andrew went back to college today. We were out late last night for Ian Reagen’s birthday celebration, and he left early this morning to beat the snow that is coming in later today.
- He beat most of the snow, but still had to drive through light snow for much of Iowa.
- I thought he was in the clear, but Nebraska was a mess of freezing drizzle and mist.
I monitored his drive on Life360 and I was glad to see when he was clear in Colorado.
Andrew Leaves for College
Andrew left for college this morning. It was his first time driving himself. His goal is to make it to school mid-afternoon so he and his friends can head into the mountains for a couple of days.

End of the year fun

Snowboarding at Mt. Clive
One of Andrew’s goals while he was home for winter break was to snowboard on Mt. Clive. Mt. Clive is a big pile of dirt the city uses for projects and is located at the back of a prairie near our house. The city recently took a huge chunk off the front, creating a drop that Andrew couldn’t resist. Andrew was out there for a while in temperatures that were so cold it was hurting our hands when we took the video. He was determined, but Mt. Clive came out on top today. Andrew thinks he could have done it if he had his regular snowboard that he uses in Colorado. His final attempt is below.
Andrew Goes Back to College
Today I drove Andrew back to college. It started with a red rainbow in the morning, included a stop at target, some tears, and a long drive home.
