In 3 short days....

I will be a NEW and IMPROVED woman! Yes, that's right. No more night classes. EVER. I have a final on Wednesday night, and two finals on Thursday night, then it's smooooooth sailing from there! I do have one more class to take during the next eight week session, but it only meets one day a week for an hour and a half. So I can go to class, work out, and still beat my husband home. AMAZING!
I am looking forward to eating dinner together every night, actually cooking some new recipes, having minimal homework, being able to attend dinner parties with my friends and coworkers, work out whenever I want to, and actually breathe at night with less stress!
I am also looking forward to my upcoming trips. Last summer, I took 13 hours and was in class four nights a week, 5 hours a night. We also bought a new house, moved, and sold our old house. So therefore, we didn't have much downtime and fun time. We barely even got to celebrate our one year anniversary. But not this summer! We are going all out! First up: girls' trip to the beach for Spring Break!
Tonight, Alex and I stayed home due to our furry child having to be put asleep at the vet. Bless his heart, he is so pitiful. He got stung by a wasp on his paw a few days ago and it ended up getting infected. Charlie picked at until it was raw. They have to get him anesthesia, shave his paw, and give him lots of pain meds. He is knocked out cold! If I am this upset about my puppy, I hope my children never ever get hurt! :(

Vegas Baby!

Alex and I just got back from a short (but sweet!) trip to Las Vegas. He had a carpet convention for a few days, and I just got to tag along! It was a very low-key, stress-free trip. Alex and I ate alot, shopped a little, and spent some much-needed time together! We have not been able to have a ton of quality time together lately, due to family illnesses, grad classes, and crazy days at work. I think we will both be in celebration mode on March 1st when I NEVER have a night class ever again!
Anyway, the main thing about this trip was the food. I have been on a crazy fun-sucker diet, and it was so nice to let it go for a few days. As great as turkey slices, almonds, and sugar-free jello are, they get old very very very quickly! Soooo what did I eat on this trip!? Lots and lots of surf and turf! That's right, steak and lobster for every meal at dinner! It was delicious!
Another highlight of this trip was running into Michael Jackson's dad, Joe. It was hilarious! Alex recognized him right away, so we stood around watching for a minute. Then all of a sudden, he started approaching us! We ended up speaking to him for a few moments and I got my picture taken with him. So cool!
So that's a wrap on our Vegas Vacation!
