Summer!!

Summer seems to be getting closer and closer yet i look at the calender and realize how much more i have to do until then and stresses me out. This weekend was lots of fun. Justin came down and we had lots of fun. On Saturday we went to Ragans & Brads house for their housewarming party and that was lots of fun. Their house is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. they did a great job!

It was a great weekend. I love spending time with Justin. Any time he leaves I am sad but I cant help but be happy because I just love him so much it makes me smile regardless of if he is leaving or not.

My life has been consumed lately with a little animal which probably weighs close to 3 ounces. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen. I didnt even mind when he pooped and peed on me. (Im sure that will change as he grows bigger). Here he is...

Last Hour of Spring Break

Spring Break is over in one hour. And in nine hours I will be sitting in class once again- but this time the end is near and the semester will be over before we know it. In general, I had a good spring break. Though I didnt go to the beach or to the mountains, I spent time with my mom and dad and if you would have asked me three years ago if I thought I would spend any college spring breaks with my parents you would have gotten a big fat NO! But I enjoyed it and I am happy that I was able to spend that time with my mom and dad. This past couple weeks have been tough on our family so it was good to be able to pull each other up and know that we have each other. ( sorry mom- didnt have any pictures of us)

I came back on Friday and went to the lake on Saturday. It was lots of fun. I had such a hard time deciding what my picture of the day was going to be that I created a whole different album of all my pictures I took so that everyone can see them - (if you click on my project 365 link you will see both albums there). It was a lot of fun and the weather was absouletely beautiful! Boy am I ready for summer time! (minus the summer school part).

Well, guess I should get ready for bed...LOVE YOU ALL!

Updated Spring Break

Well..it is now Tuesday evening and I have done lots of fun activities which include finishing my Art File project and the papers for each medium, sleeping in each morning, setting up my prop box (which isn't close to being finished), researching for my paper on gender bias, and reading Tuck Everlasting for my literary elements project. It sucks because all day, every day (once i get up) I just work on school stuff but I haven't finished almost any of it and everyone knows that I love highlighting my many lists which all say the same thing once I am finished and so its driving me insane that i cant highlight. I realized today that I don't have to get EVERYTHING done. Yes, that would be great but i have two months of school left and I'm not going to get ten papers, three reflections, a prop box, an art file, study for all my tests in a week. its just not going to happen and I need to accept that- which is difficult because i just want it all to be done.
Anyways- today mom and I went shopping- well i don't know if you could call it shopping- we were so proud of ourselves for getting out of the house and not doing school work but when it came down to it- we went to Barnes & Noble (got books for school) and Micheal's-(got fun stuff for my Prop Box)- we cant get away from school!! AHHH!
I need a vacation- for real. School is wearing me out. I need to stop looking at the big picture of everything i have due from now until may and focus on a week at a time...we will see how that goes.

Spring Break!!!

Yippie!! My last spring break of college has begun and all I can think about is how much school work I am going to get done. Something must be wrong with me. All the girls are driving to Utah to go skiing. I'm not going. One because i hate the cold and two because they are driving and I'm not down for a 21 hour car ride. Elissa is also leaving to go to Florida.
So basically its gonna be me and mom all week long! : )
I've got a busy April so maybe I can get a lot of work done that way I wont be so stressed towards the end of the semester and might actually have some time to be a college kid and not such an old lady (that I have become).
I'm kinda sad I'm not doing anything fun though. I mean this is my last Spring Break as a college kid and I'm going home to do school work. Yeah that's exciting right now- but by Tuesday ill be wishing I was on the beach I just know it. I'm sure though, hopefully, me and mom can find SOMETHING to do!
I could pack but I'm just gonna take my time getting home and make sure everything here is clean and organized and I have packed everything and don't feel rushed. I'm sure over the next week I am probably going to be blogging everyday because I will have nothing else to do. : ) Oh yeah...

Baby Laughter

Oh laughter....I needed a good laugh today.
This little baby gave me a good laugh and a little lesson at the end of the commercial (minus the outliving the money part).

Automatic

Mom tells me I need to put myself on automatic and put the pain on the back burner until I have completed everything I need to do. Thats hard. I know Grandpa wouldnt want me sitting around moping but its just hard. All I want to do is lie in bed and sit there. As depressing as it is thats all I want to do. Maybe today is just a hard day. Its rainy outside and its the first day Ive been back and the funeral was yesterday. Im sure I'll cheer up soon because I know that is what Grandpa would want.

Something really amazing happened on Friday. Me and mom were packing up the car and it was early morning so everything was real quiet, then all of sudden we hear this bird just singing its little heart out. Mom tells me to look up into a tree in our yard where the leaves are gone and the branches are bear and what do i see? A BEAUTIFUL RED CARDNIAL- singing for me and mom. A cardinal was my other grandpa's favorite bird and me and mom have this thing that anytime we see one we just know grandpa is watching us- and there is was just clear as day just singing its little lungs out. It was such a God thing.
