What's Been Going On

Doesn't it seem like everything happens all at once? I'm pretty sure this is becoming a reoccurring theme here...
Everything is so busy, I have been completely MIA. Let's catch up on a few things going on:

1. Had a wonderful spring break home in Minnesota. It was so great to be able to catch up with family and friends. I am already counting down the days to my next trip home! ( All you MN lovers out there...I will be back 5/5!)

2. I got a teaching job for next year!! Two long years of doing anything I possibly can to get my foot in the education door, it happened. I am excited, nervous, and so ready to begin. I am going in this Monday, to meet some of the teachers I will be working with...oh the nerves!!

3. Spence and I are moving in together in 3 weeks! I have NO idea how this is going to happen with the insane schedule April is bringing me. Like everything else that comes at us in life, we'll make it happen and it will be great! We are already dreaming up ways to decorate, and merge our different styles into one. It's a little hard because both of us are very realistic in that, this apartment is a temporary living space, but it will be great practice for when we get to share our first home. Spence is a great bargain shopper, and I'm more of an...'efficient' shopper. It has been fun going on shopping trips together for our new place. We are lucky that we continually laugh at our own, and each others quirks.

4. Although, I would never trade in my experience at Gustavus Adolphus College for a 'Big' school atmosphere, I had a lot of fun being a part of KU during the Final Four tournament. I think part of the craziness, is that Kansas does not have a professional basketball team. People here are ALL about college sports. It seriously felt like a holiday, everyone was celebrating all weekend long. We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the Jayhawks!
Rock Chalk!


5. School is CRAZY right now. Why, oh why is everything due at the end of the semester. I seriously feel like I have done nothing all semester and now it's like, "Oh hey...could you please write 35 papers and do 50 group projects? Thanks, that would be great!!"
SO READY to be done with school--well at least I am ready to be done being a student.

6. It's EASTER WEEKEND! I love Easter, especially the candy. My parents are visiting this weekend and I am excited to spend time with them, golf, and watch nothing but the Masters...all weekend long. Oh, to be a part of a golf family.

Hope you have a Happy Easter!!
