School Days

Well, folks, I have officially started school.  Yesterday was my first day of classes.  I can't tell you how different it feels to go because you want to instead of going because someone tells you to.  I have so much more appreciation for the things I am being taught.  I'm so excited about this!  Hubby keeps joking with me and says, "You'd better do good so you can find a job and then I don't have to work anymore."  HAHA   Our goal is for me to finish and find an RT position (hopefully) nearby somewhere and then he and his best friend want to open a car garage.  They want to buy cheap cars that need repairs, fix them up, and then sell them for $3,000 or less.  I think it's a fantastic idea. And in this area a car lot with that price tag will be a hit!  It's so much fun to make goals and imagine where the future will take you.

First day of school pic that I sent my Momma!

Number 93 done!

Mr. Smooth Cheeks

Hubby and I spent the day together last week. We didn't do anything spectacular but I always enjoy running around town with him. I took a profile picture of him because he recently shaved! He looks so different!

The result of No Shave November...and December...and some of January!

Mr. Smooth Cheeks!  HAHA

We went to Gander Mountain to exchange some slippers he got for Christmas.  We ended up returning them because they didn't have any more camo slippers.  So he decided that he'd just pick up a pair from Wal-Mart.  They didn't have any either.  So now I'm on an internet hunt for camo slippers that he will wear.  Which turns into shoe/purse/everything else shopping for me.  Needless to say I haven't found his slippers yet!  HAHA  Then he took me to my FAVORITE place to eat. 

Yum!

Hubby knew our waiter and we were conviently seated right under the TV so Hubby had the perfect front row seat to Sports Center. That left for little conversation because he was so distracted. I decided to play with the settings on my camera.

Hubby's pop.  I haven't had pop all year! 

Guess what?  Heinz uses recycled material for their Ketchup bottles.  

Since we were there before half off appetizers started we actually got meals! HAHA

Well, we still had to get ONE appetizer. 

Hubby ordered a Bacon Burger (big surprise there) and I got the Oriental Chicken Salad. I was disappointed with it. It tasted ok but it wasn't like the last one I had. I probably won't get it again.

After dinner we went to see some friends of ours, Larry and Sarah.  It's always a pleasant visit with them!  And then we headed on home.  It took a while because it started snowing and the roads were slick. So there was lots of time for conversation.  I made a comment about the pitch (how steep) of the roofs of the houses we were driving past. They are much more steep in Michigan than Louisiana because of the snow we get here.  Hubby responded with something about how I wouldn't know how to use that word (pitch) if it wasn't for him.  He said I would have described it as "the pointyness of the house" and would have used a variety of hand gestures.  I started laughing so hard.  He was completely right.  Sounds just like something I would say.  But, that's one of the reasons he loves me! 


I really enjoyed the day we spent together so I'm calling it a "date day."  Only 31 more dates to go!

High Five Friday!

It's that time, again!  Here are my top five from this past week!

Cleaning out Mini.  I know cleaning out a mini van doesn't sound exciting but, Hubby has been driving it and TRASHED it.  It was nice to get all that crap out of there!

Spending the day with Hubby.  I love when have that time :)
