School's Out, Scream and Shout!!!!

School is officially out for the summer, and grades are in.....

I was so nervous about my grade for my Financial Accounting class. My previous experience working in the accounting area helped alot during this course, but alot of it I wasnt familar with. It was hard and alot of work. I found out before my final that we had to pass the Final Exam with a certain percentage or we would automatically fail, yes Fail the course and be required to retake it. I studied so hard, but I was panicked about my grade.
The grades came in and.....

Yes, that is a B-, a big beautiful B-, I was so happy; I could have danced all night.

I could have danced all night, I could have danced all night, and still have begged for more. I could have spread my wings, and done a thousand things, I'd never done before... (hey it reminded me of a song :))

I couldnt believe it. WAHOO!!!!

I am so glad that my classes for Spring are over. I actually enjoyed most of them, but it is nice to have a break. Well, sort of a break. It actually only lasted a week and a half and then I started a math class for Summer semester. I am so close to graduating at the college and only have 5 classes left. YEAH!! It is so close and yet feels so far away.

Another project DONE!!!

I have completed yet another project that has been sitting away in a box, just waiting to be finished. Only this time it has been over 7 years since this project was started. I think that I have a problem finishing projects after I start them. Ya Think???

I was thinking about it and the last two projects I have finished have both been tablerunners. I dont even have anywhere to place them, but someday when I have my own place they will look great on my table. For now they will go back into a box, finished this time, waiting for their moment to be displayed.

Happy Mothers Day!

It took SEW long to finish!!

I was going through some sewing projects the other day and ran across a handful of items that I started working on months, well actually years ago and still hadnt been finished. I decided that maybe I should work on them and get them completed. Dont ya think??

I began working on this fall tablerunner oh, lets see ...five years ago. Obviously I havent been continuously working on it for five years. If i had I would need some major sewing lessons and help. More like started five years ago, stashed it away. So this morning instead of doing homework :), I sewed, sewed, sewed and ............. DUN DUN DUN DUN. Its Finished!!!! YEAH!!

Well have to see if I stay motivated and finish the rest of my fun projects or if I just shove them back in the closet to be done oh maybe ten years from now.

A Little Baking and Some Wildlife

As many know, My Mom is very talented at making pies. I have been trying to learn the skill and made a delicious Rhubarb pie the other day. This was my third attempt and it turned out beautiful, I was pretty excited.

Spencer is working at a library that has a nice little farm next door, that used to be a dairy farm. It only houses a few cows right now but it is fun to have farmland amongst the growing city around it. As we went to pick him up from work and were waiting in the parking lot, I happened to look out into the pasture and I saw something moving around, and trust me it wasnt a cow. In fact, I really didnt know what it was. It began eating at something and then moved through the field.

Around the same time the very next day, that same animal was again ravaging and eating at something in the pasture. The cows being wise had all moved to a completely different part of the field. I happened to have my camera with me(doesnt usually happen) and I snapped some pictures of the creature. it seemed to have some problems with its fur around its tail. I dont know if it is sick, Kenny thinks it might have mange. Anyway, it isnt every day that you get to see wildlife like that. After much research and debate, we decided that it has to be a red fox.

When we were younger and had a wide open field behind our home (before the subdivisions went in) we saw all kinds of cool wildlife and critters right in our own backyard such as: sheep, cougars, vultures, deer, and so many other neat things. We just dont get that chance to see wild animals anymore, except maybe the neighbors dog. :) It sure brought back some memories though.

Everything Speaks His Name

I was listening to this song by Jessie Clark Funk, and it made me think of how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful world that our Heavenly Father has created for us. Especially with the coming of Spring.

"I can't imagine it was all because of chance,
When everywhere around me lies the evidence
Everything Speaks His Name"

First Day of Spring

I am so excited for Spring to come. Yesterday marked the first day of Spring. I look around and although the weather is dark and cold, there are still sutble signs of Spring coming our way. There are Tulips peeking up through the ground, and we had a little Spring arrival surprise in our backyard yesterday. I was helping with dinner when we looked out at there were ducks in our yard. They were so cute. Even if we may get snow this week, spring is coming and soon we will enjoying the beautiful sun, warmth, and spring flowers maybe even some fine feathered friends.
