Ahh Spring

The weather is finally staying consistently warm without snow the next day-which I am in love with. Jason got out today and raked the yard and I was inside cleaning my little heart out.

I am SO looking forward to my brother and my sister-in-law coming to visit next week. We have big plans to go to the zoo, the New Belgium Brewery, bbq's and loads of laughs!

I will post pictures-I know this blog is no fun to look at without pictures. =) I am working away at school, the semester ends in 5 weeks-yahooooooo!

I start summer classes on June 1st and am taking them online so we can have some freedom to travel. The end to me completing my Associate's Degree is in sight and I can't believe it! I know to some it isn't a big deal, but for me, this has intimidated me for quite some time. I have goals to complete my Master's degree, which totally intimidates me!

Anyway, we're all doing well and loving every moment of this life we're given.

Spring cleaning

It's a chore that I hate doing but once it's done I feel like I can get through summer without enormous dust bunnies following me everywhere. Today, I am tackling our basement. I don't think it's had a thorough cleaning since we moved in nearly 6 yrs ago. My brother and my sister-in-law are coming to visit in April so that is motivation enough for me to get moving!

School is going well, I am preparing for mid-terms and writing papers and conjugating verbs in Spanish like no other. Some days I wonder why I keep going. Then, I stop and tell myself that I want to go and that keeps me motivated. I really admire people who can raise a family, work full time and fit in school-that is amazing!

I've had my first taste of warm weather this week-it reached nearly 60 degrees on Tuesday and I officially have Spring Fever. I feel myself wanting to plant flowers, mow the lawn, open the windows and spring clean.

Speaking of cleaning, I should get back to it.

Happy March, everyone!

It's good to not be in school for a couple of weeks!

Hellooooooooooooo everyone! I am done with school for the semester! (insert cheers here) :) I feel good about my finals and grades should be posted by Monday the 18th. I have been sleeping in, hanging out with Jason (whom I missed the very most) and taking Charlie on long walks and just enjoying everything!

I am going to immerse myself into some art projects and will take pictures once I finish them. I am really excited! Jason and I have a goal to paint our dining room this summer so I will have pictures of that posted as well.

The weather is warm, my house is clean and I think I'm going for a bike ride.

Happy Spring!!

Can't sleep

Insomnia, too much coffee, wide awake, mind running a mile a minute. Yup. That's me. Right here, right now. A-W-A-K-E. Those of you who know me, know that I go to bed early-like 9:00pm. Here it is 11:30pm and I could clean the entire house. I won't because the puppy & the dear husband are sleeping.

So, I have taken a much needed break from homework and have decided to indulge you with the thoughts rolling around in my head. Charlie starts puppy training tomorrow evening. Jason & I are excited about it and we think Charlie is too. If he's not, too bad-he's going for 6 weeks.

It snowed here today, it was sunny and 50 degrees when I left for school this morning & when I went to go home, it was 25 & snowing like no other. What was I wearing? A tshirt & jeans. Why? I don't check the weather-that's why. I'm ready for spring, to see tulips and baby animals.

I don't know what else to tell you other than I am wired. I am tempted to wake Jason up to tell him I can't sleep, but he works at 7:00am and he won't be pleased with my little scheme...guaranteed.

If you've read this far-congratulations! I wish you all a great day...I'm going to read some Sociology & hopefully that will bore me to sleep. :/
