My Dear, Sweet, Sugar Plum, Love Bug Graduate Girl!

Done, Finished, Complete, All Inclusive, Total. . .Callie is a college graduate. Lucky! Callie, you are so cool, and I am pretty jealous. I am so proud of you! This is big, real big! Why so big? First off, it is just awesome. Second, your textbook buy back money gets to go towards my books. Third, you now have more free time to ski. Fourth, you worked so hard. I have been so impressed how passionate you are about what you are studying. Your papers were amazing, and I have learned a lot from you. The greatest thing I have learned is the importance of seeking the things you are most passionate about. I am excited for our future and for all of the many wonderful things we will do, see, and probably eat together. You are my buddy, my pal, and my love bug. I love you to the fullest!

Here she is off to school for the last time. She doesn't even have to register for classes next semester. So Jealous!

My Life Right Now

I had to change my background to something more fitting to how i feel. All day, everyday I spend every spare moment trying to catch up on my school work. I have A TON of reading to do for every class. And skimming and pretending to read are not options because I also have to write 1-2 page summaries for everything i read. AND, my teachers keep giving me more articles to read ON TOP of the regular assigned reading.

Last week i thought i was the coolest person ever because i was actually a whole week AHEAD on my reading assignments. Enter the group presentation. I kissed my buffer goodbye! I don't understand how a week can go by so quickly. Now i am prepared for my presentation, but i am seriously struggling to finish the "regular" work. Mark and I keep trying to figure out when we can invite friends over, practice my golf skills, and hang out, and every single night seems to be booked with "catch-up" work (not to be confused with ketchup).

I just have to keep reminding myself that i just have to get through the next few months.... and i am FINISHED!!!!!

My Last First Day of School

So yesterday was my LAST first day of school... ever. It's a great great thing.

Of course we had to do the traditional first day of school pictures.

Mark didn't have classes yesterday so today was his first day

Such a cutie!
