Can you count to 60?

Today, we celebrated my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary. It was about the cutest thing I've ever been too. They renewed there vows, and right in the middle my grandpa started crying. It was so sweet, and reassuring to know that there are loves that last forever. Last Tuesday, October 20th was their true anniversary. :)

To update on other things in my life, I get to go see Ben Folds in concert tomorrow with Philip! HOORAY! I'm so excited, it will be an amazing concert.
Also, next weekend is Halloween and Philip and I's costumes are coming together perfectly! I can not wait to post pictures!

Finally, it is almost my birthday! WOOHOO! Exactly one month from today! Philip has already told me my present. TICKETS TO SEE BILLY JOEL AND ELTON JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!! It is more than anything I could ever ask for! :)

I hope to blog again soon, although life has been extremely busy lately!

Surgery, etc.

In case you haven't heard yet, I had surgery on my right hand two weeks ago. I had a bone growth and a ganglion cyst that was causing some of the tendons in my hand to ache. The surgeon went in, removed the cyst and filed down the bone. It sounded much worse than it really was.

I'm happy to say that I am recovering well. It still hurts to grip too hard with my hand and to rotate my wrist, but everything else is in tip top shape! woohoo!

Next weekend is Lacy's wedding! :) I'm so excited, I can't wait! It will be nice to see all of Independence friends! I also am the flower aviator for the wedding. If you don't know what that means I guess you'll have to wait and see next weekend, hehe!

In Holiday news, Philip and I have decided on our Halloween costumes! It's a bit of a surprise, but I know everyone will enjoy it!

I hope to blog soon with more!

Back to School

Oh yes, it is that time of year again. Buying textbooks I'll hardly read, stressing out too much over assignments that do nothing to benefit my career. You would think that finally being a senior in college I would grow immune to the stress, the atmosphere of new classrooms and professors..but it still seems to give me goosebumps every semester. After getting most of my syllabi from my professors..I already feel overwhelmed.

I'm in less credit hours than I've been in for many semesters, however I feel like I have a heavier load this semester. Hopefully it all smooths out. I'm hoping it is just back to school jitters.

In other news, we found out today that Philip passed his board exams! I'm so proud of him, he is so amazing! (I'll stop here to avoid a mushy lovey dovey paragraph)

Also, the roomies are great! I'm having so much fun that I can't even describe it. It's wonderful to have support and happiness all around the household!

I guess I should get back to my lovely homework. boo!

Until next time,

Moving!

I'm moving into my new apartment with Carley and Jess next Tuesday, hooray! Carley has decided that we be dubbed, "The Emery Girls" since our new place is on Emery Rd. I'm excited to move in because we're getting brand new carpet, there have been rumors of a new washer/dryer and (drum roll please......) my room is painted green! wahhhooooo!

However, I have to be out of my house by Friday, boo! This has probably been the most stressed I've ever been about moving. I have so much junk that I didn't even know I had! Also the new apartment is a bit smaller than my house now, so I need to get rid of anything I don't need! (Like the random chair my grandma gave me, ha!) To top everything off, the street I live on now is under construction and there is a chance my drive way will be blocked off on Friday when I move out! ARRRRGGGHHH! Summers in Lawrence are not all they are cracked up to be!

Thankfully, I don't have to work next week; so I'll be able to be super organized when I move in! I'll put pictures up as soon as I get all moved in and settled!

Just the Facts

Okay! Here's the first blog!
I'm going to be talking about the following people most likely quite a bit, so I figured I would give any of my readers some visual aids, hehe.

Also, I created this blog to help keep in touch with the people I don't see very often. I've had quite a few friends move away recently, and I want to keep them as updated as if they still lived near!

However, mostly I just had to find another way to procrastinate from doing important things. For example, right now; I should be packing since I'm moving to my new apartment in a week. Instead, I'm creating a pointless blog! Go, Heather!

Anyway, I hope anyone who may read this, will enjoy it!
That's all for now!
Great updates to follow!
