we are so ready to be done with finals.

this semester has been a little brutal in terms of finals for us.

we're surviving.

casey is in a final as i'm writing this.

we both have one hard one left, waiting for us in that terrible testing center.

mmeh.

we're working a ton this week but are lucky enough to get to study while we work.

but with work comes not so fun working times til 2 am.

(i signed up for these stupid times for some reason...)

we didn't work last night and i didn't have stuff this morning so you know what happened?

i fell asleep on the couch at about 9 pm and awoke at 9 am...and kept sleeping til 11.

oh my gosh, i'm lazy, i know! i've never slept so long.

it was exactly what was needed though.

i've had 3 days in a row of 7 am/8 am finals and in between all those went to bed anywhere between 12:30 and 3.

i've never been so happy that next semester is my last!

but onto little fun things that have been going on lately.
1) finsihed our bowling class with the best bowling day ever of 4 high scores in a row!
never done that before!
2) christmas pancakes last saturday. we put egg nog in place of the milk/buttermilk...sadly you couldn't taste a difference...
3) we made sugar cookes on the reading days.
4) abby girl came over and played with us this week :) she is so HILARIOUS!

 

it we got to play with abby the night before she turned a WOPPING 2 years old!
love that girl!
she gives the cutest kisses in the world!
so happy late birthday abby girl!

2 scenarios

A) you study really hard for a class the the 1st half of the semester,

do really well on tests,

slack off the 2nd half of the semester bc you think you're smart and understand this class,

and struggle on the last half of tests

B) you halfheartedly pay attention/study for a class 1st half the semester,

do average/border-line poorly on tests,

struggle the last half of the semester to do amazing on tests,

to miraculously pull out an 89.5% to get yourself that A- (or B-/B/B+...all are of differently important values)

BLAH.

why can't I ever learn my lesson?

TRY HARD ALL SEMESTER IN ALL CLASSES

coming to the end

wow.

right now we (i) are in the middle of:

packing up the apartment.

packing for the summer which means having to pack away most my clothes and having to rally decide exactly what i need and am going to wear during the summer...tear.

trying to get rid of clothes i tell myself i wear but that i really don't.

finals.

trying to eat up our pantry.

trying to talk my sister in law to not having her baby before i get to az.

cleaning the house to sparkling clean.

and my wonderful friend pandora is with me all the way making sure good music is playing

all this and the weather outside is heavenly.

goodness

i remember freshman year i pretty much packed up all my stuff and cleaned the night before i left to az.

granted i only got 2 hours of sleep that night

funny how when you get married your stuff more than quadruples

i can't imagine how much more stuff i'll have when there's kiddos around!

there's tickets from phoenix to hawaii for $118 dollars each way with hawaiin air

yes miss jenny i'm thinking of you and your offer!

which totaly 256 after taxes.

my heart aches to buy those tickets and spontaneously go to hawaii between the break of school and work

but...

there's more things that are important in life right now 

but that doesn't mean hawaii is out of question for the year :) 

my back hurts

boo

i'm making cupcakes at the moment

yay

to help eat up our pantry

too bad they won't be as yummy as the cupcake cafe

which a lovely miss dyer now works at! so excited and jealous of her! i plan on visitng on monday to celebrate the summer, any AGers are welcome!

i'm just so happy to have reached finals!

classes are nearly done!

summer is nearly here!

just a few more days!

  

the clock is running!

swim swim swim GASP!

swim swim swim GASP!

so many things to do with so little time left!

we're supposed to leave tonight to start our journey to AZ for the

WEDDING

but honestly don't know if I'll get everything i need to do before then!

mmeh...father time should slow down just a wee bit for me today

ps- 3 days til our wedding day!

pps-I don't know what i would do without my mom and i really shouldn't be complaining, she's the one really getting all the wedding stuff ready-

she's so amazing.
