Inside Out

Today was the longest day ever, but the best day ever. I had my Senior Seminary Conference today, during which all of the Senior English majors (like 30-ish of us) read their final papers. I was #3, so thankfully I got mine out of the way early. One of the hardest professors at _________, who I had one class with my Junior Year, said my paper was "really good." It's very hard to get even an "it was okay" out of him when it comes to a paper, so I'm thinking based on that, I did very well! I only had to drink one large french vanilla cappuccino and two 16 oz. Redbulls and literally not go to bed last night. Needless to say, when I went to the bathroom on a break during the conference, I noticed my underwear were on inside out. Yes, that bad. But, my amazing husband got back to the FOB today after 17 long days outside the wire with zero communication. They got attacked, so it took them an extra three days to get back. I'm really not happy with my husband's unit being the closest one to Pakistan, now that we've done pissed them off. We only have a few more months, and I was praying they'd be relatively quiet with the approaching snow. Thanks a lot to whomever has ruined that possibility.

I was planning on writing a little while, but I literally just (finally) hit the wall and can barely keep my eyes open.

To be continued....

Okay, so now that it's 7:02PM the following day, I have no idea what I was going to talk about. But this is what I'd talk about as of right now. Today, my parents brought the truck to my apartment and took home my big items from my apartment (furniture, storage bins, etc.). Then we ate at a local restaurant down the road seeing as it was 25 cent wing day. (I just noticed there's no cent button on the keyboard--weird). Now, my room looks pretty bare, but I'm excited because that means I'm so close to moving out of here, and one step away from moving to Hawaii.

Now that David is back and could approve the bedroom set I found for us, I can get our furniture for our house! I'm so excited. This is the bedroom set I picked out:

I'm obsessed! It's so warm and beach-cottagey, but with a modern, clean feel. Perfect for my "Modern + Organic" design style. I also found my living room tables. I couldn't find any sofas and chair/ottomans that I loved, so still searching for those.

Due tomorrow by midnight is the first of my two 100+ page papers. I will be starting that as soon as I'm finished this blog post! I'm very stressed about getting all of this done, but at the same time, I'm starting to feel the weight slooowwly lifting.

I talked to David about the Masters thing, and it's a go! So, I will be applying to Liberty University's On-line Masters of Education in School Counseling Program. Aaaah.

So, that's where life is for me this weekend. I doubt I'll blog again until this coming weekend because my life will be INSANE.
