Mike-ism

Yesterday we were in the car driving home from the grocery store when a bird flew in front of the car. It had white feathers on it's tail.

Mike: Did you see that! That was a rare white-tailed hollingback!
Me: You don't know what kind of bird that was. (Laughs).
Mike: Yes, I do. I just told you, it was a white tailed hollingback. You wouldn't know what it is because they are so rare.
Me: Okay. I'll Google it.
Mike: Great!
Me: (after googling "white-tailed hollingback" and only 2 images coming up, and neither of them were birds.) See?
Mike: That just goes to show you how rare that bird really is.


I love him. He makes me laugh so hard sometimes.

Quote

Occasionally I read a quote that I fall in love with. It doesn't happen very often, but it happened today. I love the quote, and the person who said it is awesome.

"The world is more malleable than you think and it's waiting for you to hammer it into shape."

Love it.

Peanut Butter, Honey, and True Love

I love Mike. And I know he loves me. Sometimes I forget how much he loves me. This is the story of when I was reminded he loves me a lot, and it's TWUE WOVE! Just like in The Princess Bride.

Today I didn't take lunch to work. Mike works 4 10 hour days and is off Wednesday's so he said he'd bring me lunch. I asked him to make me some seasoned chicken and a peanut butter and honey sandwich.

Around 12 Mike calls and said he is coming with my food! Yay! I love lunch time. Especially when Mike cooks because it is always divine. I go downstairs and wait for him. He drives up, and I go to the driver side window. He hands me my food and says something about the chicken. Then he says, "I packed you a peanut butter and honey sandwich, but I know you don't like the honey sitting on the sandwich till you eat it, so I just packed the honey container so you can put it on when you eat it."

Instant heart melt. When was the last time I mentioned that to him? At least 2 years ago. At least!! He made and brought me lunch, and left the honey off my sandwich. It's the little things that count.

If that's not true love, I don't know what is.

I sure love him.

The Robin Outside

I was in the kitchen washing off some potatoes to get some mashed potatoes going. I looked out the back window, and there was a robin tugging on a looong string in the backyard. The string was from my hammock that Banshee ruined, probably 8 feet long, and was stuck on something. I called Mike over and pointed it out. He asked if he should go get the string unstuck, so I said "It'll probably fly away, but maybe it will come back so sure!"

I go back to what I'm doing and Mike goes outside to get the string unstuck. It took him a little longer than I thought it would, so I look out the window to see what's up. Mike was standing in the yard with the long sting, cutting it up in smaller pieces, and throwing them on the ground.

And my heart melted, and I thought to myself, "I sure love him."

The End.

Out of School

Next week we have our trip to Zion National Park and I am really excited! Mike has never been there. Today we did some shopping for a few things we will need. I hope the weather will be really nice. It will be nice to take a trip with my man.

I was hoping to get a lot done once school got out, but I haven't accomplished much. It's been hard to get motivated because it's been so nice not having very many things after work! Mike and I have started to walk a half hour every night though. It's been fun to get out and walk with the weather being so nice.

This semester I finished up with a 4.0 GPA. Hooray! My first one in my college career. This semester wasn't difficult though.. I enjoyed a lot of my classes. That puts me at a 3.73 cumulative GPA for my Associates degree. Not bad.

Today is Nate's birthday, my little brother. He is a full 15 years old. I can't believe it. He is growing up way fast. Happy Birthday, Nate!

School.

Well, I did it! I'm done with SLCC!!

HOORAY! Que a good song to dance to by ABBA or another 70's/80's band. Maybe even "I Hate Myself For Loving You" by Joan Jett. Not a fitting song but man I love that beat! Also, she's great. Maybe "Summer of '69"? I don't know. Que a GREAT song. AC/DC maybe? CCR? Just find something GOOD.

DONNNE! I am dooonnne! Unfortunately my associates degree won't be coming until the end of the summer when I'll technically by graduating (because I put that as the semester I'd be graduating). But whatever. I'm done, and I get the summer off. I haven't had a summer since I started. Then I have to go back to school in the fall...

A big thank you to my sweetheart, Mike, for being so supportive and helping me along the way. I really appreciate all the encouragement he offered me and all of the homework help he gave.

I'll be graduating SLCC with 67 credits. I needed 61 I think. Not too bad. I can't wait till my grades are posted. This semester I took a few easier and fun classes which I've probably already written about. In my First Aid class I passed the CPR certification and First Aid Certification. So basically I'm an asset to society especially if someone gets hurt.




Feel free to shower me with praises and money.

Joking.*






*Joking on that last line, not the whole post. I really did finish all the requirements to graduate from SLCC with my Associates.

The End.

PS I'm done with my associates degree. Just in case you didn't get that.

Sydney Ms. Beautiful Face

Here are some pictures I took of my sister, Sydney. She's beautiful and I really appreciate her posing for me. The sun was a little lower than I would have liked, but we took pictures anyway. Also, we saw a duck.

A Family Weekend

Here are some pictures from this past Easter Saturday with my family. I love them.

 

Easter Pictures

Mike and I went out yesterday and took some pictures of us on Easter. The sun was bright, so they didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, but I sure loved the warm sun!
