School started today...and I wasn't there.  Driving on campus to teach tonight was so weird....like I was, oh, 11 hours late or something.  And, as usual, I could pick out all the freshman.  Oh, to be a freshman again.   The first week of school was always my favorite, and it is so incredibly hard for me to not be there.

But, the happy side is that my job is amazing.  I love the people I work with, I'm learning so much, and I'm turning into a techy nerd.  Sweet.  It's a lot of hours, but I enjoy what I do.  This job is such an incredible blessing, and worth all the frustration and worry this Spring.  And there was lots of frustration and worry going on!

To all of you starting school today--know that I'm thinking about you, and I will be praying for you in the insane months ahead.  Marlea Dav, I miss you.

No school today made me a very happy person.  I like not going to school.  And I really love long weekends!!! 

Tomorrow is Thursday Musical.  I'm playing Ibert...from memory.  I'm a little nervous.  I kinda didn't realize it was creeping up on me so fast, and now it's tomorrow!  I really like Ibert.  He's starting to feel like an old friend....kinda like the Martin Ballade did after playing the thing for so stinking long!  I drove up to Jan's house today to rehearse for tomorrow.  I love Jan.  She's amazing and so much fun!! 

I'm kind of trying to keep myself from going to bed, but I think I'm just gonna crash cuz I'm exhausted and I have a big day tomorrow!

Have fun in the snow everybody.  : )

Tuesday is over!!!  Once Tuesday ends then I know I can make it through the week.  And Tuesday officially ends at 7:45pm when my last little fluter munchkin leaves.  And then I come home for girl-night.  I love girl night.  I love the girls I live with!  Marlea and I came home and ate dinner...at 8...and yelled at Alicia until she came out and ate with us.  And then we had official girl night.  After having an hour or so of unofficial girl night.  : )

Sarah comes home to me this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

My car likes cold weather about as much as I do.  Which is not at all.  Nick has jumped my car twice...and taken the battery out and charged it twice.  Yay for wonderful roomies who don't mind carpooling! 

Well....I guess that's about it from my random brain. 

3 days.....

Time to Come Home....

So, my little sister is at school 4 1/2 or 5 hours away in good ol' Orange City, Iowa.  None of us like this arrangement...at all.  But I think she hates it the most.  She called me Thursday night after a pretty horrible week and asked me to come down this weekend.  I did.  We had the most amazing weekend together!  Nick came down with me, which was so good.  Those two have the greatest relationship, and I love seeing them together.  Honestly, there probably aren't many people (guys) that could understand and deal with Sarah and I together.  But he absolutely loves her, and she loves him, and he understands that my world stops for her.  Which is why I went to the "OC" this weekend.

I hate leaving her there.  It's like....I don't even know what it's like.  But knowing that she hates it so much, and she's so lonely and sick of it all, I so wish I could take her home with me.

Time to come home Einstein.....

My last semester at NWC starts tomorrow morning at 8am.  And goes until 8pm.  Sweet!  : )  We love this life...right?  Hope so, cuz it's going to be over really soon.  Seventeen weeks and counting.
