Full Semester Swing

The title says it all. Murph and I are spending quite a bit of our time as students these days. Only a couple weeks in and we are already feeling the school stress. Murph has learned that numbers (although they are avoiding it at all costs) are our friends, and I am learning that math will MOST definatly be the last college course I ever take...I mean the very last one. I have also discovered that you CAN read too much Virgina Woolfe in one day and I am ACTUALLY happy to have two science courses this semester. Ultimatly enjoying my studies...its a good stress...if there is such a thing.

BIG SHOUT OUT to the APOSTLES. Thank you so much for making this semester possible among many other things you make possible in my life :)

Posts will be few and far between until March when Murph is done with his semsester (JEALOUS!!!!), and I will be on spring break.
I will leave you with the funniest thing I heard someone say today,
"Oh, as soon as you are done, google Angelina at the SAG awards, I want to see how pregnant she looks." This quote is so funny to me.

PEACE OUT!

Year in Review

Ok, Apostle girls, sorry for the delay. Here is my year in review:

January through May I was in school and most of it is a blur. Speech class was mortifying, learned how to identify every rock and mineral on the planet, and I wrote my first 15 page paper. My brother came home from Iraq and our family got to visit with him and his wife on their way out to their new home.

March was a busy month, my seester Kate came in town to attend a wedding and she stayed with us in Waldo. Kate got her first tattoo while in town! Taking her back to the airport one morning was the last trip Gloria (my geo) ever took, she died on the way home...on the highway...while it was pouring rain...oh yeah and I didn't have my cell phone. Good Times! Also in March; Murphy scouted ceremony sites in Sedona while I went and visited the Apostle's new home in FoCo.

March to September was full of wedding stuff, even blurrier. Dresses and table-cloths and guests and invitations and DRAMA! Why would anyone want to do this twice?
August brought my birthday and my wedding shower...both very fun times. Both very intoxicated times!

September....ummm...let's see, something big happened in September....what was it? Murphy and I, after eight years, got married in Sedona surrounded by the people we love most in our lives. We spent our honeymoon traversing the state of Arizona, and we spent some much needed time with our best buds, Pete and Mel. Awe, I misses you guys :(

A couple weeks after the ceremony, we held our reception at the beautiful home of Jan Glannon (my new mom) in Kansas City. I have to be honest, the whole thing stressed me out so much that I spent the hours leading up to the party on the couch with my seester rubbing my head. I don't remember much, but I remember Kate leaving, I cried really hard! Thanks to everybody who pulled that party off...MURPHY!!!!!!!!!!! Gosh I should marry him....wait oh yeah,not doing it twice.
Super late that night Pete, Mel, Nick and myself all convinced Murphy to run over to the party site and grab as many presents and beer as we could carry. This makes more sense if you know that we live two houses away from the party site. Just picture four elf-like characters scurrying across the lawn, arms full of presents and beer at 3 o'clock in the morning, while a tall red head is yelling from the porch "COME ON GUYS!" If you are not laughing, you should be, it was a riot.

October came and I started it by road tripping with my sister Jess and her pups, Sarge out to FoCo. Dudes, we did not turn on the radio until the Colorado border, I'm sure the husbands are glad they missed that trip, their ears might have bled! I got to eat crab legs with my brother, got a little hiking in, and then I flew back to KC and my new husband.

November and December we worked our butts off to pay for that little get-together we had in September. We ended the year with a trip out to FoCo to spend Christmas with my family. Kate got her second tattoo, Jess got her first tattoo, and I got my sixth, 'A' tribute to our sisterhood! Thank you so much Mike and Jess for having the whole fam out, you guys are the best!

On New Years's eve, I worked until about 9, and then had a couple drinks and was out before mid-night.
The busiest year of my life (so far...grad school is coming) and I am looking forward to a much more relaxed, drama-free 2008! Love you all!

(I had pictures to go with all of this and thanks to blogger you will never see them argh!)
