The Beard Worked!!!

So all the guys that sat around me in math this semester have beards. They are all really GOOD at math, unlike me. One day while wallowing in my self pity, I joked that I would wear a beard on the day of the final to enhance my math capabilities and get a good grade. They didn't think I was serious...

But it WORKED!

Fried.

This is me after last night's 5 million essays on my Early Childhood Studies final.  

See the blue ink all over my hand? That's what I get for being left-handed!

(And yes, that is Matt playing his beloved X-box in the background) 

...

This is me eating some nutritious chocolate cupcake before my French final today. 

Snack of champions! I am totally loopy and my brain is fried. 

 Two down, one to go. 

Finals Week

Well, it's here again...the dreaded week of FINALS.

Matt has been working his tail off (at the last minute, of course) to finish his accounting final.

Just listening to him and his classmate last night made me feel like this:

Thank goodness he actually ENJOYS that stuff! 

I can't wrap my head around it all.

Meanwhile, I was working on my Early Childhood Studies final.

I think we've both found majors that suit us.

I have a French final tomorrow, Math on Wednesday. Not looking forward to that one!

Wish us luck!! 

Late Mother's Day Love

I had to dig up a bunch of old pictures for my Early Childhood Studies final project.

These are some of my favorites!

My mom is incredible.

Here she is on my first birthday showing me my present.

The shoe infatuation started early...

And here we are in San Diego with our matching Mexican muu-muus :)

She has always made us feel so special and loved.

She is also a great example of hard work and service. Love you!

Bath Rug

My husband, being the sweet man that he is, cleaned the bathroom the other day.

I came home from class and our whole house smelled like bleach! He was proud of himself and I thanked him for working so hard and helping out around the house. :)

The next morning, I saw that he had accidentally bleached our bath rug and it was splotchy with different colors on it. So what does any girl do in this situation? Go shopping for a new one!!

 I bought this cutie at Target, gotta love that place. I usually shy away from bold patterns, but for some reason I like this one on our bathroom floor. 

Do you guys have any stories where your sweeties have ruined your stuff while trying to help you out? I think it's so cute :) 

Love it...

Might have to go buy it... 

She just looks so happy, like Mrs. Potts from Beauty & The Beast! 

Copycat.

So it looks like Kate Bosworth heard that I went skydiving last month and wanted to be just like me...

I don't blame her one bit - I mean skydiving is the most INCREDIBLE feeling in the world!  

I'm sure she heard how much fun I had and wanted to try it for herself. I always knew she was a cool chick! Too bad she had to wear that dorky helmet though ;) 

Happy Birthday Mommy!

I love you!!! I'm making your cake right now :)

Thank you for everything. You are incredible!

You're not just my mother, but my best friend.
