So I do care about the grade on that paper

And it was a good one. Highest in the class actually. It's amazing how much better you do when it's your money paying for the degree and getting that piece of paper means a substantial pay raise for you.

One week to go. Holy Cow...I can't believe that this time next week, I will be getting my hair done for my wedding. That's crazy!!

Cheers!!

So I love the show Cheers!!

I mean I really love it.

So I decided to look up the lyrics to the theme song and here are the lyrics that never aired....

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?

All those night when you've got no lights,
The check is in the mail;
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail;
And your third fiance didn't show;

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.

Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead;
The morning's looking bright;
And your shrink ran off to Europe,
And didn't even write;
And your husband wants to be a girl;

Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to go where people know,
People are all the same;
You want to go where everybody knows your name.

Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came...

Party Time

The big paper is done. It was actually done yesterday, a day befor it was due. Praise Jesus it's all over. I don't even care about the grade. It's over.

So now I can move onto the fact that...

I GET MARRIED IN 16 DAYS!

Writing

I've been writing a lot lately...

1. A paper on the benefits of single sex education for women. Yeah...tore that one up. Why wouldn't I? I went to an all woman's school. AND...it was a reflective paper at that. Grade 9 out of 10.

2. A paper on ethical issues in education. In other words...why women think it's appropriate to sleep with little boys half their age. No comment Brandon on how you are 4 years younger than me...it's not the same.

3. A paper on collaboration and inclusion. Blah blah blah...don't want to write it, the teacher is going to tear me up on it. Don't want to write it. Due next Thursday. Don't want to write it.

4. Thank you notes...a whole lot of....thank you for the cookie sheets.

5. AND MOST IMPORTANT. OUR VOWS. They don't mention pink shorts, toliet seats, or obeying anything he says...but they are us, and amazing.

If these old walls...

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

April Showers....Bring May Flowers

First off that's a great song by Sugar Land if you haven't heard it.

We have the first of our two showers done. They were amazing. The first one was at Ivy Creek Baptist Church which is his home church. His WHOLE family goes there, both sides. The shower was put on by Debbie Bowen (the lady that set us up) and a whole bunch of other ladies at the church. We got so much kitchen stuff. I have no clue how I would ever use 13 cookie sheets but we got them.

The second shower was put on by our new church Celebration. It was INCREDIBLE. The cake was the most amazing part. I want it to be our wedding cake to be honest with you and I'm checking into that. It is made with our colors and looks like a package...incredible I tell you.

We are almost a month away. I'm excited, scared and overwhelmed at the same time. I only have 3 of 4 papers left and two presentations in that month. What in the world was I thinking taking classes on top of everything else? But in a month it will all be over with and I'll say that I survived.

Easter

This was our first Easter together. It was so great. There are some fun pictures of Brandon and his dad. I will leave it to your imagination what he is doing to his dad. Christie (his best friend's soon to be wife) and I made fun eggs at the family egg coloring day! His mom bought my Easter dress. Just a warning: you'll see this dress often over the next few weeks. You'll get over it.

Ski Trip

Our first trip with the Celebration Teenagers. It was fun...even losing Tyler for most of the day. We found him....no worries!
