Just Some Stuff

I took my last college final ever on Friday! Yay! It was really exciting to be done for good...except they wouldn't grade it yet, since my professor apparently hadn't graded my last online assignment. Which I thought was silly because that wouldn't affect the grade on my test...it's not like the answers are going to change, you'd think they could just run it through the scantron grading machine, but whatever. And Marcus and I ate at THE WORST Mexican food restaurant in the history of ever. Seriously, after living in Utah for five years, we have drastically altered our expectations for Mexican food here, but today we hit a new low. It made us really sad, but reinforced our excitement to move to Texas in 20 days. In other news, the Princeton Review came out for 2008, and BYU was named the number one most socially conservative school (the most socially liberal school was, surprisingly, in North Carolina. Berkeley really needs to step up their efforts...). The library moved down on the list of best college libraries to number 6, which is obviously the result of my not working there anymore.

Here are some recent pictures. We had a fun cook out this weekend, until it started to storm, which, incidentally, has happened the last few times we've tried to do an outdoor gathering type of thing. We also had a fun visit from Lauren, but she couldn't stay for dinner.

The Bohon's who live next door to us

Marcus and me inside...not sure why he's making that face ;)


Also, Scout made a new friend of our sprinkler...she likes to drink from the hose when we let her, but the other day we saw her doing this:













Also, here are some pictures of my cute husband:

Congrats on finishing BYU!! Soon you can leave Provo behind...and have some real Mexican food.

A boy and his dog! I love the tongue picture and the snuggle-puppy picture. Congratulations on the last final Ever! That's an accomplishment. Way to go and yes obviously the library fell in direct relation or at least correlation to your departure :0) Scout sure is liking the sprinkler, nice video.

That's so funny, Scout and the sprinkler! Oh, the ease of entertainment when you're a dog...I love the tongue picture, too, Scout totally has M beat in that department. Oh, yeah, congrats on finishing college! And that's embarrassing for the HBLL, it would definitely be #1 if you were still there. Sad. I know what it's like to be disappointed by Mexican food, so I feel for you there. At least you have good stuff to look forward to...speaking of food, how's the ear thing going?
