I graduated!!!

I finally graduated!! I still seems very surreal and I often feel guilty about not doing any homework, but I have none! I can do whatever I want and I don't have to write any papers, email professors, or study for any tests! I am done!
I am so so so grateful for the support that Brighton has given me during this time. There are several semesters in a row that I would say good bye at 7:30 in the morning and not see him until 9 at night. And there was not one word of complaint from him. Even when I had the car the entire time. He has been my rock.
I am also eternally grateful to my ENTIRE family. Each one of them has been so supportive from when I complained, to when I cried, and to when I celebrated! They were all there to support me at my graduation and I will be eternally in debt to all of them. I love you guys.
I am also grateful to my second family. They have been just as supportive and have made life fun. They make me laugh, they let me play with their kids, they play games with Brighton and I until all hours of the night, and they are home away from home.
And last but not least, I am grateful for my guardian angles, my parents. They have been my rock and I have been so blessed. After erasing sentence after sentence of things I want to say but don't know how, I will just say I love you and Thank You!
Thank you everybody who has been there for me. I could write an essay with they names and ways you have helped me. But hey, I am done with school, no more essays. So thank you!!

Final Hours

So I am updating my blog right now because I don't want to be working on my presentation. It is my very last thing I have to do before I graduate and I can't do it!!! I already turned in my final portfolio, took my last multiple choice test, and now I have one last final/presentation before I am done. I have to give my presentation which is Thursday morning (the morning I graduate), it has to go well (or else) and then I am done! But I am struggling to go over it and finalize everything. Struggling!!! I can't help but think about Thursday, after 10, after my final, being done, forever! Sigh. It makes time go by so much slower.
On a better note, I finally got my hair cut and colored! Can we say it is about time! My hair was starting to look like an ugly mop that wouldn't do anything. It feels so nice to have it chopped off. I don't have any pictures but you will be able to see my hair in my future graduation pictures. :)
Well here is to staying healthy and not getting the Swine Flu. (Even though the Swine Flu doesn't come from pigs.) Wash your hands and stay home from work/school if you are sick!

The Count Down Begins...

I just barely finished one of my classes!!!! I turned in my final assignment and paper for my online coaching course and I only have three more classes to go until I am finally done! AAHH!! My school days are coming to an end. There is two more weeks left of class and three more weeks until I graduate! I can hardly believe it! It is almost here.
Also, I only have two more weeks left until I am done teaching my exercise class. There are bitter sweet feelings with that. With that being done I get to watch Biggest Loser while it is on TV. Not after it has happened on a recorded VHS. I also get to spend my pent up energy exercising with activities that I want to do. Like I can run, lift my own weights, or attend SOMEBODY else's class! Amazing. However, without teaching an exercise class I will miss all of the workouts that I had to go to, I will miss my class, I will miss being in some seriously good shape, I will miss coming up with some sweet exercise routines, and I will miss that extra little bit of income. But, hey, I do need a break. :) Again. :)
Well off to writing more papers. As soon as I finish my portfolio for my internships then I will only have two more classes left to finish. AH I can't move fast enough!!!!

Why babies have mothers...

I saw this video at work and died laughing. I hope you all enjoy as much as I did!

p.s. only five more weeks until I graduate!!!

High School Musical

So a couple of weeks ago High School Musical Three came out!! Yeah!! And guess who bought it? Me! I was so excited I watched it that night. I also have High School Musical One and Two! I have the whole collection. If any of you want to watch any of them, please let me know and I will let you borrow them. They are a little cheesy but the music is great! (I do have all of the Cd's.) Here is a picture we took on our honey moon is Disney World. The had a High School Musical parade that came around every hour and did a little show. They also teach you how to dance to one of the songs and Brighton learned it! You should ask him to show you! He has also seen all of the movies. :) (He loves them and he sings to them.) I have been meaning to post this picture for a while now but I just barely found the file to where we had saved it to! Ya for High School Musical!!! :)

p.s. this is for my niece Kennedy "Humuhumunukunukuapua'aMaka heekee mala heenee who" and for Vic "The Boys Are Back! Hey! The Boys Are Back!" And for everybody else who has a love for High School Musical... (I know you are out there)

It Makes My Apartment Smell Mossy

So people have been asking lately (cough - :) Ellen) why I haven't been updating my blog lately. Well I haven't updated it in a while because the only things I have had on my mind were things like school, up coming test, my internships and trying to keep up on those, and not having enough time to get anything done. So I didn't want to get on my blog and whine about those things. Even while I was I was trying to think of a title to start my blog off with I couldn't think of anything great to say!! So what popped into my head was mine and Brighton's new favorite movie, You've Got Mail. That movies has been on TV a couple of times and we love it. Well it is more like Brighton loves that movie and I love watching him quote it and laugh really hard at it. I wish everybody had a chance to watch Brighton laugh really hard. It is the funniest thing out there. And the move You've Got Mail makes him laugh really hard. He doesn't laugh hard at the movie he laughs really hard with the movie. It is so fun to watch movies like that with him. I would like to say that I have a video of him doing it but it is really hard to plan something like that out. But maybe one day. When he laughs really hard it is a loud (no surprise there) and really high pitched laugh. It is the cutest thing EVER and I don't think he even knows that he is doing it which makes it even funnier.

Here is to the cutest husband EVER who can help me laugh and forget all of the things I stress about!
