Welp. I'm a graduated woman now. It's still a little surreal, although I must say that it is nice not having to go to bed early (like midnight) in order to get up for class the next day. Now I'm just working. Still part time for now, but that may change in the fall; it looks like Doug may be able to go back to school! I'm so proud of him for wanting to go back and even though it's been a frustrating road, I'm proud that his education is important to him.



The reason that I haven't updated sooner is that my computer is on the fritz. My ram is bad, so I need a new computer. We're shopping around for a new one, but until then, my internet excursions are unpredictable. And I'm actually looking at getting a MAC (shocker!). Pretty much because I finally have the time to learn how to use one without the threat of not being able to complete an assignment, and I'm tired of computer viruses.

Let's see. This is a rather boring post. In other news:

We're starting to look for an apartment. We don't know if we'll stay where we are once our lease is up, but we're prepared to give our 30 days notice if the price doesn't drop. So we started looking at another spot yesterday, which disappointingly had similar prices. We just want somewhere safe and accessible to the freeway and our jobs. A washer and dryer would be nice, but not necessary. We are praying that God will show us what he is providing for us, and until then we (really me) needs to trust and have peace that God is providing for us.

We're still looking at going to Europe this July. Yesterday I got my passport photo taken and sent in my application for a renewal (I didn't get my name changed on my passport yet). We're really wanting to go and hoping that everything works out!

We finished our puzzle. Last night there were only about thirty pieces left so we sat down and did them.


Strawberries are in season and we've been eating them like crazy. Doug likes them with angel food cake, and I like them chocolate dipped. The batch that we made we also finished that night. And by we I mean me haha.


I found out why Doug normally makes the waffles: Oops!



I've started my summer reading with a book called "One Day". I saw the movie trailer so I got the book to read. I also bought some classics for our library including The Count of Monte Cristo, Treasure Island, and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. We are officially out of book shelf space. We need to get a DVD holder. There's one at target that I really like, but I plan on waiting until after we move or decide to stay to get it.

I feel like I'm still catching up on rest from the end of the semester and graduation week (which was amazing). My parents flew Lauren in for my graduation (stoked!) and I got to spend a lot of time with her and my family and friends. We (Lauren, Uncle Grant, and I) even took Reagan to the Santa Barbara zoo. He said that his favorite animals were the penguins, followed by the elephants. He also got to feed a giraffe. He also loved the blue choo choo that went around the zoo.






Also, notice the new blonde hair :) I like being blonde again. I feel like me. And I feel like customers are nicer to me when I'm blonde at work (I probably look sweeter).

Today I'm doing the wife thing. I cleaned the apartment, am doing laundry, baked a cake, and am going to make sloppy joes for dinner. Yum!
