New Addiction

Yesterday in class Liz introduced me to Pinterest. OMG!!! I'm addicted to it. It is this amazing website where you can pin pictures of ideas for almost everything. While you are browsing you can pin something to your board or you can search the many pins that other people have done. I have gotten so many ideas for just about anything. I like this way better than doing my homework :)

What a weekend

Oh lordy it has started again. School is off and going with a million things to do. I know that it will all get done but I'm just so ready to be done. Only 30 more weeks!!

 On top of me having class this weekend Justin was gone all weekend at a retreat for one of his classes. Lets just say he came home very tired.

This week is crazy for both of us with homework, classes for Justin, work for both and meetings. Can't wait for the weekend maybe a little relaxation for us but I doubt it. Plus we have the pumpkin patch outing with Miss this weekend :)

Slap-tastic

Slap bracelets are back!!! My friend gave me one last night at work. She found it a Nordstrom and of course it is crimson and says Cougars on it. I love it and it totally took be back to first grade and my pink slap bracelet. I also love that I can slap people with it. My first victim was Justin. He then informed me that those bracelets kill people. So you better watch out you never know when I might slap you :-)

My cool bracelet from JoAnn! Thank you!!

Silly String Kind of Weekend

We spent the weekend in Battle Ground for Justin's nephew's 4th birthday. It was lots of fun!! There was even a silly string fight that I found myself in the middle of even though I was just taking pictures. Neil and Justin had a chance to go on a ride while we got ready for the party. We also managed to hit up Laurelwood brewery and discuss our Halloween costumes. Can't wait for Halloween weekend :-)

Grad Students

I just realized that starting tomorrow there will be two yes count them two full time grad students living in this apt. Yikes!! I'm wondering how anything will ever get done around the house. Maybe we should hire a maid :-) Luckily for me I still have two weeks before my classes start. I guess I will be the maid then for the next two weeks. But poor Justin starts tomorrow. Here is to not seeing each other due to class/work schedules. Is it June yet?

So...

So... I totally suck at blogging. This is not the first time that I have said this. But I think this is the biggest gap I have had yet.

So...Recaping from April. School year ended well for both grad school and the classroom. I ended up getting really sick the last few days of school. I ended up at Kinder graduation with an ear infection, pink eye and no vioce. But I made it through and picked up my friend from the airport for the weekend. We played tourist in Seattle and went to so many places! I also went to Brittany Spears with my cousins so much fun :-) Justin and I had a night getaway to Leavenworth.

Summer was not so jammed packed like last year. From all of the medicine I was on for being sick. I broke out in a rash on the 4th of July. But by the next weekend I was ready to celebrate Justin's B-day in Newport, OR. We had so much fun staying at Rouge's B&B (Bed and Beer).

Grad School for the summer started that Monday and that was my life for the next 4 weeks. I did manage to squeeze in some fun by doing the Warrior Dash with Justin!

The past month had been relaxing. Hanging out, a trip to Chelan, boating, baseball games, preseason football games and just having fun. I also donated 10 inches of my hair. My birthday was relaxing. Now it is working two jobs and enjoying the next couple weeks off before grad school starts again.  Plus all the fun activities we have planned in October.

Spring Break!!

Spring break started with grad school and working but ended with so much fun. Thursday night I got to have dinner with my cousin and her family. It was so good to finally see Eric after everything that happened this summer. It was so fun seeing how big Brooklyn and Hilton have gotten. It was also my cousin's birthday she turned the dirty thirty. Which she said she didn't know what was dirty about it. I can't believe she is 30! I remember talking together when I was in high school about how old we would all be when Nick graduated high school. Now we are all past that!!!

Friday I spent the day with my mom getting a pedicure and doing some errands. Then we had the whole family over for a bbq at my place. It was fun to play with the kids and spend time together.

 

Saturday was a fun filled day with Katie and Julia. It was so much fun to get our hair and makeup done and then have pics taken. I can't wait to see them. Now back to work!
