For my blogging fans...

Wow! I didn't realize how many of my friends checked my blog out. I've gotten quite a few emails over the past couple weeks wondering if they had the wrong web address or what was going on with my blog. And since it's been back up, wondering why I haven't been writing any entries! Sorry, but my life has been busy busy busy.

While the blog was down, I had lots of funny or memorable things happen. I would think: "Yeah, that stories good. I will totally remember to put that on my blog so everyone can get a good laugh." Well, who would of thought that I would have needed to write them down. Apparently they weren't that funny, because I sure don't remember them.

Easter was great! I spent it at JP and Mary Ann's with Rachel and Mark and Kristen. The food was delicious, company delightful, and I for sure over ate. I've gained a few pounds these past couple months. As my past dean would say: " That's the pig you bought." He told us at the beginning of the year that we'd gain 20 pounds while in grad school. I thought he was crazy, I'd make time for exercise and I've almost always been a healthy eater. Well, he's being proven right... Exercise is a last minute, painful experience once a week, unless I get out for a walk with the dog, and my diet consists of anything I can prepare quickly or just snack on. And if I'm studying at home, there's no stopping on the snacking. It's what "helps me stay awake" during hours of reading. Dating is non-existent! This quarter is so dang busy... Mid-terms started today, so the excitement of my life is at a climax. I live vicariously through Rachel's lovelife!

My parents had all of my dad's siblings in town for Easter week and it sounded like quite a party. The played lots of games, ate lots of food, and had quite a fun time. I sure wish I could've gone home to spend time with all of the family there. I'm looking forward to a fun family reunion at Spencer and Jonene's for Memorial Weekend, though!!! You better have some superb adventures, games gallor, and plenty of treats (because that's what my diet consists of now...). j/k! I really am just excited to be with the whole family again.
