Happy Birthday, Robert!

This is my husband, contemplating how it feels to turn 26, which he did yesterday to much fanfare and celebration! (Okay, so he didn't let me go too crazy with the celebration, but we did go out for some really good Mexican with some super fun couples from church and then had our now traditional Sunday night showing of Arrested Development. Did I tell you we are officially addicted? Oh, we are.)

...or maybe Robert's trying to figure out how many days until football season starts... As of tomorrow, ironically, it's only 26 days. Roll Tide, baby! And Happy Birthday!

And while we're on the subject of CELEBRATIONS, we've had a few in our families in the past month...

Happy Birthday to Robert's Nana (July 28th) and Papa (July 3rd)!


Happy Birthday to my Big Daddy (July 20th)!


And Happy 28th Anniversary to my Mom and Dad (July 19th, 1980)!

18 Hours

So as of last Thursday night, I officially have 18 hours of graduate classes under my belt. That's hard to believe. I feel like I just started as that new kid (well, I guess "adult" is technically correct) in class and now I'm roughly a third of the way to graduating. Time does go by faster than you think, but it certainly did drag on during the last nine Wednesday nights of Nonprofit Financial Management. Thank goodness that's over.

I know it's wierd that my summer vacation is just now beginning the first week of August, but between 9 hours in the spring, a May term, and six more hours in the summer, it's been a pretty crazy busy summer. Luckily, both my profs gave us finals a week early, so I now have two and a half weeks of summer vacation instead of one and a half. Woo hoo! What did I do today during my summer vacation? Buy books for the fall. Sad, I know.
