Finals Finally

I wanted to post to let my family know I haven't fallen off of the planet. :D I am studying very hard for 3 cumulative finals in my classes which happen to be all next week. I will write more when they are over and I have my sanity back. School officially ends for me on May 14th.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Project Angel Heart

I volunteer for a group called Project Angel Heart and I absolutely love it. I have been there since the end of February. Their website is www.projectangelheart.org and the work they do is unbelievable. They prepare amazing home cooked meals for people with cancer, AIDS, and renal failure not only for the person with the disease, but for anyone in their household.

It warms my heart to be a part of such an amazing group who does things for people in true need. I really wish I would have done this much earlier in my life. You can tell that each person in this organization truly loves what they do. A person can't have a bad day when you walk in the door once you see the faces of the people you are helping and those who have passed on.

If you live in the metro-area, and if you are able, please go out to eat on April 30th at the participating restaurants (see the website) as 25% of the proceeds earned that day will benefit Project Angel Heart.

I have never been passionate about volunteering, but I'm telling you, I get a feeling I can't describe when I walk through those doors for the 4 hours I am there. It's incredible to be able to give back to your community.

Have a blessed day.

Milestone

Charlie has successfully graduated from Puppy Kindergarden as of yesterday! Jason and I have been working with him for six weeks and he has come so far in his progress! This is a big day for Charlie and for us as he used to be the 'wild child' of the neighborhood. We are working to maintain the behaviors he has learned and focused on teaching him new tricks.

A week of bliss

I just had spring break this past week and it was glorious. I got to start it off early because school was cancelled due to snow which was marvelous! Then, I got sick because living in Colorado the weather is 70 degrees one day and snowing the next. I also think I got hit by the karma bus because I said out loud "I haven't gotten a cold yet and it's APRIL!" Well, scratch that. :D

I'm grateful that I was sick over my break because I lost my voice completely and was not a happy camper for a few days. Jason & I got to watch some movies and spend some quality couples time together. We baked, we cleaned...we were lazy!

I am going back to school today refreshed, revived and can see the end of the semester in sight!

Happy Monday everyone!
