Overdue Post...
So, as many of you readers know (all 4 of you anyway! haha) that I usually do a weekend review... I know it's Tuesday, but yesterday was a long one...
Friday we headed to my hometown to enjoy dinner with my family. It was amazing! It was my brother's birthday, so it was his pick and I was not disappointed. We then headed to the newly remodeled (moved from a boat on the river to an actual building) Diamond Joe Casino. We are not gamblers, but there was a band playing at the Moon Bar, which is located in the casino. The band was great and we got to hang out with my family and my brother's fiance's family. It was a fun night... My mom doesn't get out much, so we had to actually force her to leave! haha, she was having such a great time that she didn't want to leave. By 12:00 we were able to get her out of there, headed back to my parents house for some much needed popcorn and a movie.... Yes we all pretty much fell asleep...
Saturday I got to spend most of the day with my mom, while Jesse spent it with my dad. Then we headed home to play (attention: I should receive the wife of the year award here) Call of Duty on our PS3. Yes, ladies and gentelman... We played that game for about 2.5 hours.... Until I was too tired to hit the buttons any longer. Needless to say, Sunday was spent relaxing and catching up on the house work that I should have done the day before!
It was a great weekend, next weekend up: A visit to the In-Laws..... I am looking forward to it, as I actually get along with my in-laws and it's great! :-) Hopefully I'll get some pictures posted here soon... I'm so gad at uploading them.
I have pictures from our visit to see my old roommate in Chicago that I have yet to post.... Ahh someday :-)
Happy Tuesday!

Yahoo!!
I've really got to get back into the swing of things..... Work has been crazy, as well as, I'm sure you all know..... The weekends even crazier! Ahhh I have just a second to breath.... So I thought I would update from last weekend.....
My weekend all home alone was not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but still long and lonely.... I give those of you props who live by yourself, I don't think I could do it anymore.... There's nothing more comforting than waking up with my husband right next to me in the middle of the night...
Anyway! Friday night was spent eating take-out Chinese by myself, followed by working on my presentation for class on Saturday.
Saturday we woke up at 5 am to (another classmate and I who lives somewhat close) drive the 3 hours to Storm Lake for our class... Spent 5.5 hours listening to presentations from other classmates (each of ours was about 15 minutes) So it was a long, tiring day..... Then we drove the 3 hours back home. After that, I hung out with my wonderful office-mate.... We went to Texas Roadhouse for a margarita!!! And dinner, which was amazing. Then we headed back to my house to watch Rachel Getting Married (Which, I know some of you enjoyed... But I have to say I was not entertained in the least.... It was very longgggg in the fact that I kept asking, is it over yet? The camera angles were awful (I know, I know... It's an independent film).... Actors were not that great, with the exception of Ann Hathaway.... She did a fairly good job, but I was just so disappointed with the rest of it that I would not recommend it to anyone. Sorry guys....
Anyway, Sunday was spent sleeping in, finally! Then I got ready, did about 3 loads of laundry, cleaned up a bit, and waited for my mom to be there. She came for the day to go shopping with me! What a great Mom! :-) She knew I was lonley and needed some company, so she drove the 1.5 hours just to shop and have lunch. It was great. I got a lot of great deals shopping here, here and here.
My Yahoo title is all because "I AM NO LONGER A 1ST YEAR GRAD STUDENT ANYMORE!!" I am very excited by this because it has seemed like such a long year! But now I am a 2nd year grad student, so that light at the end of the tunnel is starting to become a bit clearer.
Happy almost Friday!!!! :-)

Bring on the weekend!!!
If only I were that excited about the weekend.......
This weekend I will be: All alone, as Jesse went on his annual Motorcycle run in La Crosse, WI called the Floodrun. I usually get to go, but my Saturday is keeping me from attending...
Friday night will be spent: going to Old Navy-buying myself something fun-drinking wine-while working on my final presentation for tomorrow {Which I am not very excited about}-maybe enjoying a movie by myself...
Saturday: Get up at 5 am to drive 3 hours for class, be there by 9:00-give my presentation- listen to 22 other presentations-leave at 2:00-arrive home at 5:00-exhausted-go out for margarita's with my favorite office mate, Amber,- eat Old Chicago-go home to watch a movie
Sunday: Sleeping in!!!!!-My mom's coming to visit!- Shopping with her- going out for lunch- and enjoying my day!!! Though it is suppose to rain :-( Then Jesse should be home and it's the start of a new week...
Once again, a full weekend, but this one will not be as fun with class all day Saturday, which is suppose to be the nicest day of the weekend! uggg.... The price we pay for our education, I swear! haha :-)
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend planned! What will you be doing? Please tell me it will be more exciting than mine! :-) Enjoy!!!
