Aaaahhhhh!

This is exactly why I don't keep a journal. Sometimes, keeping a record of my life seems more like homework than fun. Anyway, exams totally sucked. I am so sick of school and I'm very glad that I only have about a year left.

Our anniversary was last week and it was awesome. We spent the whole day together. We went out to a really authentic Italian deli for lunch; it was so good. Later, we went out to dinner at Carrabba's and we exchanged our cards and gifts. He got me the first five books in the Little House series. It was a really good day.

I've been spending a lot of time cleaning out our apartment. When we moved in, I pretty much just put everything somewhere to get it put away. Now, I'm going through everything and reorganizing it and getting rid of junk and finding treasures! Not literal treasures (Duh!) but, good things that I'd completely forgotten we had. It kinda makes me happy when I find them. It's like when you put on a pair of pants, put your hand in the pocket and find money! It was always yours, but, you'd forgotten it. It's a good feeling.

I'm really excited about the next month. We're going back to Maryland next Friday for Garrett's (Sky's brother) graduation. I even have a full day to spend with my mom and sister. It's going to be fun! Then, in July, my mom and sister are coming out here and are staying with me for a week. I am really looking forward to it. My older sister and her family are also coming out but they're not staying with us. We'll definitely get to spend time together, though. Also, my niece is getting baptized out here so, we're glad we'll be able to see that. I'm so happy I get to see my family again!

Exams!

Sky and I have just begun the most thrilling week of the year. Final Exams! While the studying hasn't driven us crazy yet, the scheduled times for exams just might. We each had an exam today at 2:30. That's right; the middle of a Saturday afternoon! I have one on Tuesday at 7 AM!! These scheduling people are nuts.

The weather is warming up and that leads to wonderful inversions. Outside looks all brown. It's kind of gross. The pollen is also out of control. Our allergies are ridiculous!

Last weekend was really exciting for me. My wonderful husband made sure that my birthday was great. He made me breakfast in bed, bought me flowers, chocolates, a teddy bear from Hard Rock Cafe and a season of Gilmore Girls on DVD. We also went out to dinner with the gift card his mom gave me to a wonderful benny hana (?). Then, on Saturday, he took me to Hogle Zoo. It was so much fun!

This past Tuesday, I had a girl's day out with a bunch of the women in my ward. Then I went to target with a couple of them and bought my very own crock pot! Thank you, mommy! (It's my birthday present!) I am so excited to get recipes and make yummy-nummy food for my hubby.
