RAIN!
Monday, August 25, 2008
It's pouring outside!! It's a great way to turn a day around. I love love love the rain.
The electricity went out at our apartment complex this afternoon for two hours...needless to say, it was HOT!
This past weekend was so nice. Andrew and I left Friday afternoon for North Scottsdale. We stayed at the Westin for a miniature vacation since we didn't really go anywhere this summer. The pool was pretty stinkin nice. Saturday we celebrated my sister's birthday....she's 17-I can't even believe it! We also celebrated Ryan Axtells birthday Saturday night, and it was so nice to hang out with such great friends. Sunday we went to church like normal churchgoers! We just went, sat in a chair, and left.....it was weird. 
On a sad note, Andrew and I head back to school tomorrow. I have mixed feelings about it. I'm a nerd at heart and secretly love school, so although I will be taking 18 credit hours, I think it will be alright. This is my LAST SEMESTER of undergrad. YAY! Andrew (by the grace of God) got into all the classes he applied so late for. He is all set up to apply to the professional program next semester. Our lives are starting to make sense :)
Home Goods is the best!

I went to Home Goods yesterday to get some plain throw pillows to go with my great purchase from Pottery Barn. A great robin- egg blue vase caught my eye. To my surprise it was 50% off! Terrific!
Good date
Andrew and I FINALLY went on a date last Friday. Life has been ridiculously busy and we haven't had time to slow down. Dinner and a movie...what could be better?!

Yesterday was seriously the worst day I've had in awhile. It started out well--with a mission to be productive during my day off. A desire to be productive ended up producing more stress.
My tags are two months expired--Tori pointed that out to me one night at high school group. Yesterday was the first chance I've had to get my car emissions tested so I could register it. So I went to the emissions place, waited in the wrong bay, had to go back around and wait in line again (45 minutes) all to find out that my car didn't pass emissions. Are you kidding me?! Only cars from the 60s don't pass emissions....well, add mine to the list! This was not making me feel productive! I needed to go to the DMV next door to get a new drivers license--the one that is horizontal. This was the worst experience at the DMV I've ever had. I was seriously harassed by six sixteen year old boys...I won't get into details, but lets just say I felt pretty violated. After waiting, they called my number and I went to take a new picture for my license. HAH! Should not have done that! I look like a shaggy dog with cheeks. There was a shadow on my face and it looks like I have dark thick bangs that go below my eyes. When your own mother says, "I will pay for you to go back and get a new picture," you know it's bad.
After the awful DMV, I went to Salem Boys to get an estimate on how much it would be to fix the problems in order for my car to pass emissions. The nice man told me it would be about $600!!! I said, "no thank you," and called Andrew crying, hoping he would just tell me we won the lottery or something. He didn't, but being the amazing guy he is called his uncle (who's a mechanic) and helped me figure out some car stuff. I think it will be a lot cheaper for him to do it.
Anyway, today is a new day.....and I am thrilled for small groups tonight. I'm excited for another year to hang out with the most awesome people on this planet. If you didn't know, high school girls (especially mine) are pretty stinkin cool. I'm excited to see them grow in their walk with the Lord. I feel pretty honored to be part of that. They're great!
And I'm thinking about trading in this.....
for this...... :)
i'm a dork

Ok, so I know this is kinda dorky....but I found the greatest pillow case ever! Andrew and I have been wanting a new couch forever, but can't seem to afford one. I decided that I was going to love my couch (even if it is purple) by buying some more inexpensive throw pillows! I LOVE it!
