{Mrs. Wifey}

So I might have lied when I said I wouldn't blog again until ALL of my homework was done, but I need a break! I just finished my 7 page essay for my literature class, and now my eyeballs feel like they're going to fall out! Anyways, this evening Brendan played Mrs. Wifey! He picked up his dry cleaning, bought himself a new pair of khakis, bought us cupcakes and decided on dinner! Wow! I was impressed, he usually doesn't feel the need to play Mrs. Wifey (too bad he didn't offer to clean the floors)! :) When he was shopping we sent the following text messages to each other:

Bren: Cupcakes for dinner? Hehehe

Me: LOL

Bren: I wall take that as a no, hahaha!

Me: Sounds good for dessert! But I think we need something more substantial for dinner! :) A vanilla cupcake sounds good though!

Bren: I will make you a deal! I'll buy cupcakes if you make margarita pizza!

Me: Ok, I want a vanilla cupcake with white frosting! :)

{This is where I tell you how I'm too old for finals week}

Seriously, I forgot how painful these last couple weeks of the quarter are! Holy cow! I still have several assignments to be completed: a 10 page research paper, a 6-7 page paper, a four page paper, a 3 page paper and a presentation! Earlier this week, I had some classmates laugh at the spreadsheet that I had created to track all of the assignments that I need to complete during the last weeks of class! Haha! They thought it was pretty pathetic! After that, I decided it was probably a bad idea to show them that I also have a day planner with all of the due dates too! :) I'm officially a college dork!

I'll be back after all assignments have been turned in!

{Life}

Have you ever had a conversation with someone, and then an experience from your past reappears as though it was just reality?

Today at school I was talking with a girl who was just pre-approved to buy a house. I was instantly brought back to the excitement that came to Brendan and I as we received our pre-approval notice. At the same time, I felt like it was eons ago since we were in that situation. I also felt bad for her, because she was under the impression that she would find a house, have her offer accepted, close and move in before the beginning of May! I wanted to share my experience, but decided that I would just smile and enjoy the early joys of buying your first home!

On a different note, sometimes I feel like a fifty year old woman, who has experienced so many things. But then at times I feel like a young-teen who can't navigate through the kitchen or grocery store! Very interesting, maybe that's what life's like in your twenties?

{March Right In}

As I transitioned from the work force and moved back into academia, I have become more in tune with the seasons. Today I am grateful for the appearance of March! March brings the end of winter quarter and the beginning of spring quarter, which means only 4 more quarters before I graduate! It also means that Spring is around the corner. There's something lovely about the thought of warm weather, flowers and sunshine that brightens my thoughts! I try to keep these lovely thoughts in my mind as I complete several final projects, presentations and exams! I am a little overwhelmed, but trying to stay positive and look at the bigger picture. I'm already listing out potential employers that I would love to interview with, a graduation vacation, and new work clothes! Overall, life is good and I'm always trying to live with a positive attitude!

P.S. My husband is one of the most positive people I have ever met, he always has a refreshing way to look at life! (Bren-If you're reading this, I love you!)
