I'm going back to school!

I applied to the Master's in reading program at NNU this summer and originally was put on the waiting list. I applied too late. Well, yesterday after taking the first class, someone bailed! Wahoo! I'm in! I got all started today and am just waiting for the woman in charge of the program to call me back with specifics. Too cool! The program is 23 months, or so. So I will one busy mommy until then. The picture posted above is a fish eye picture of the campus. I think that is about it. It is a small, but very good school. :-)

Daddy's Birthday!

Today we're celebrating Daddy's Birthday! The girls and I made him his favorite cake, German Chocolate Cake. He loves that kind. He'll probably have to take the leftovers to work tomorrow. I don't want to be at home with this cake! I'll eat too much.

We're home!

We just got back from a very relaxing visit with my family. My mom and I were very lazy and just "cleaned" off her DVR. We watched a lot of "What Not to Wear" and "Property Ladder." It was fun. :) We also played computer Yahtzee. I got pretty good. My mom has been playing on a little hand held game. We had a great time with my neices, and brothers and sisters. It was a very nice, relaxing time. We didn't have to run around like crazy people, or try to fit everything in. Very nice!

Maybe, maybe not?

I applied too late for the program at NNU for a Master's in Reading. I am first on the waiting list, so if one person changes their mind, then I get in. The program starts on July 23rd, so ... Actually, I don't know. We'll see. If I don't get in, I might change to another major, or wait until the next program starts next summer. We'll see. It is, and has been, in God's hands. No biggie. I'll get in when I get in. We'll see.

Scott and Marlena Get Married!

Joe's and my best friend from highschool finally got married, almost 15 years after Joe and I got married. He married Marlena a great gal he met in New Zealand. She's from Germany, and that is where they are going to live for the first 2 years of their marriage at least. It was a great weekend. We had a ball seeing all of our highschool friends, and Scott's parents. I lived with Scott's parents for a year and a half almost two years. They took me in when I needed a place to stay. I consider them my Colorado family.

Faith made a friend. One of our HS friend's son, Jarren. They were fast friends. Faith found out that they are both 6. So she said, "Mom, we are both six. Can we be boyfriend and girfriend?" That was sooooooooo funny! hehe!

The last picture if of me and Faith. We had dresses that almost matched. So we had to get a picture of us together. Aren't we cute? :-)
