Mike got a letter in the mail..

That looked like this...

And I knew what it was. He wasn't home from work, so I got all excited and cleaned the house and put it where he could see it right when he walked in. When he walked inside I was waiting for him and I started yelling at him to "OPEN IT! OPEN IT!"

And he got into ASU! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Okay okay, now your thinking that I am crazy for being SO excited that he got into ASU, which isn't hard. You are thinking right. Yes, he kept telling me that It's not that big of a deal and we both knew he would get into ASU.
But I am still so proud of him. He works SO HARD in school. He works full time (with his commute and lunch break, he is gone for 10 hours everyday). AND he is going to school 2 credit hours short of full time. He does everything he can to get straight A's. I love his motivation.
I am so excited that he is moving forward with his education. With him transferring, it feels like the end is finally in sight. Kind of.
We celebrated by eating at Neilsons. (Were we celebrating or did I just not want to cook?? You'll never know!) Neilsons is the bomb. They have the best fries ever. You know how people argue about who has the best french fries? In n out, burger king, wendys, mcdonalds, red robin blah blah blah... Neilsons are seriously the best. Also their grinders are heavenly. PLUS it was TURTLE TUESDAY! Caramel custard with fudge and pecans. My.favorite.thing.ever. Neilsons should pay me for this post.

On a more serious note, I just finished this book...

I highly recommend it. Holy cow. Did you know in 1994 there was a holocaust in Africa and over one million people were brutally slaughtered in only 3 months? I didn't even know that happened.
This is an autobiography of one of the survivors. I was a little hesitant to read it because I thought it would depressing. It was not. In fact, it is one of the most spiritual, inspiring books I've ever read. Read it. Come borrow it from me if you don't want to buy it or library it.
Recap:
*Mike is going moving from MCC (yuck) to ASU (Wee)
*Mike is smart and good at school
*Neilsons is bomb
*Read Left to Tell

Thanks for reading. I love you all.

Once upon a time I had some friends...

And we were tight. We hung out 1, 2 or even 3 hours a day. I had dreams about them. Then they went away and I will never see them again.... because we finished Prison Break. And my friends weren't really my friends. I just pretended. Now we don't know what to do with ourselves. Homework I guess.

Also, I have fantastic news...... Soon I will be an auntie!! My childhood friend/adult friend/ nextdoor neighbor is having a BABY! And I will name it Merlin! When it cries in the night, I will punch a hole through our closet and crawl through it into Hillaries closet and into her bedroom and take her baby! Then I will rock Merlin until he falls asleep and train him to call me Auntie. I love babies.
Some random thoughts going through my head:
Vicks is the bomb
So is Meagan Bredsguard for making us sugar cookies that Mike broke his fast with.
I have had this lame cold and I am hoping and praying that I am getting better... I haven't held my baby niece for 3 weeks!! I am missing out on her childhood!
My bangs are now too long for me to wear straight across. Mike is happy about this. I don't know if I should start wearing them to the side or trim them again. What do you think??
