I'm sorry bloggers....... Please don't leave me! I'm here at school, arrived yesterday at 8:45 PM..... And got up early to attend class alllllllllllllllll day today. Tonight, I am busy working on homework, checking my blog, while speaking with my hubby from time to time (whom I miss dearly), and eventually I'll put my favorite season of Friends on (Season 8 for those of you FRIENDS watchers) and will then "eventually" fall asleep in this unfamiliar city, place, and bed (sans hubby, puppy and two kitties who usually take up the entire bed, but I love it so much (even when I complain about it) that I miss it so much)
So as I'm complaining about being homesick, your blogs are still keeping me entartined throughout the day when I need some much (always) needed breaks!
Thanks and please don't give up on me, my blogging will get better and more frequent! Tomorrow after class I get to go home and I cannot wait!

New Purchase
Born to Run
No, not really.
But I did accomplish something great on Sunday. The hubby has been put on mandatory overtime of 60+/h per week, so I've been trying to keep myself busy. Well, yesterday, I put on my running shoes and told myself that I was going to run for 30 minutes straight without a break, break for a minute and then run the 30 minutes back home. Well, I actually did it! I ran 6.1 miles, though that means I ran 10:00 miles, it is still a great accomplishment on my part! It's the furthest I have ever run!
P.S. I'm dying today......
Happy Monday everyone!

Upcoming weekend agenda
This weekend I plan to do this:
Friday:
Grill out with about 8-10 friends, having a few drinks
and enjoying the beautiful weather we are having.
Saturday:
Sleep in (Finally!!!), get some shopping done, finish cleaning the house
and doing Laundry. Saturday night date night with my husband
(o, how I look forward to these babies!) We will
be seeing the new Terminator Movie.... I know I know,
but it was his choice and it could be worse!
Sunday:
Sleeping in, yet again, finishing up that housework, and FINALLY
buying and planting my flowers!
I've decided that I've waited long enough and things are
looking too bare for my taste lately!
I will try to upload pics of last weekends adventures, as well as,
pictures of my newly planted beauties! On a side note, I will also
need to take a picture of the beautiful flower box
my hubby made me! He is an engineer
and I know it doesn't take an engineer to build a flower box,
but he made it removable and everything! So, I'm pretty impressed
and thankful to say the least!
Also, does anyone have a Apple shuffle? Would you recommend just paying the extra to get a nano? I have a nano, but my husband wants to use it. I just need something for running and I thought maybe a shuffle would be better.... Any thoughts?!!?!?

Far behind...
Ladies, I'm so sorry. I have been sooooooo far behind with housework, work, yard work, homework, etc.... I haven't had any time for blogging. I haven't even posted about our Memorial Day weekend!
I start my 2nd set of summer classes for my masters on June 4th.... (Yikes, next week!) Anyway, that means I have 2 more days of work to catch up and get things ready for me to be gone until June 29th! This job has allowed me to take the entire month of June off so that I can continue to go to school.
School for me, looks like this:
June- Two, two week classes. That means one class squeezed into 8 days!! Yes, my friends, these classes are very intense. This is the only time we are required to actually be on campus for an extended period of time, which is great since it's a 3 hour drive for me. So, I will be packing my bags and staying in the good ol fashion college dorms for a couple weeks. Granted, I get to come home on the weekends which is refreshing!
Fall Semester- one class (meet on campus for two Saturday sessions)
Spring Semester- one class (same 2 Saturaday sessions)
And then back to the summer sessions....
It's set up to allow for working students (especially teachers) to pursue their masters degree in School Counseling without having to take time away from work during the day. It's been a great experience, but already I'm feeling overwhelmed. I got my first set of homework assignments due already next Thursday the 4th..... I'm freaking out.
On top of that, since I am a non-education major, I have to take an additional two classes. One of which I started in March and have yet to actually start! The school gives you 6 months to complete the class, so I've been procrastinating big time!
Anyway, wish me luck! I'll try to keep blogging during the month of June, but it's going to be a busy one.
My husband will be working mandatory overtime 55-60+ hours during the month of June, so when I am home on the weekends, he'll be working... Great, so please pray for us and hope that the month passes by very quickly!

My Husband
Abby over at Live with B & A posted about her hubby in this: He loves post
That inspired me to share with you a little bit about the husband that I love o so much! These are the things that he loves:
His two favorite TV channels where he DVR's all of his favorite shows
His Buell XB 12S Lightening (Or as I call it, his bike) :-)
The Audi TT, his early mid-life crisis toy, until we have children.....
Building his own speakers
Our Home theater system. When we bought our house, his only requirement was that it had a basement big enough to fit a 92" projector screen in it and comfortable furniture for watching movies.
And, last but not least, our children. From left to right, Josie, Bear, & Allie. They are a huge part of what makes us a family and are the only children we have for the time being until we have real people children. :-)
