Eclipse

Last night I went to Eclipse with Gretchen and Anya. We waited in line for a while and then we ended up waiting in the theater for a while. Finally the trailers for new movies started. There is a new movie about owls coming out. I started a fascination with owls a year or so ago, but the only reason this movie has me wanting to see it is due to the funny joke they told...

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Owls.

Owls who?

That's right! Owls who!

HA HA HA I loved the joke so much I text sleeping Jason hoping he would be able to respond, but once that boy is out, HE'S OUT! So, the next morning I made sure to tell him as soon as we were up. He didn't get that much of a kick out of it, but I loved it.

Eclipse was my favorite so far. I hated Twilight. Very disappointed in the movie. New Moon was pretty good. I think because it followed the story of the book and didn't throw in too much extra. Eclipse, I was expecting cheesy, bad acting, lots of drama and that's what it gave me! So nice when the movie is what you expected.

Father's Day

What a crazy fun day.

This weekend was our "special time" weekend so Sunday morning Jason and I were "studying". I got so frustrated and so upset I broke down crying saying things like, "We're trying too hard." "Making a baby shouldn't have to be this complicated." and the like. Wonderful, adorable, affectionate Jason just laid beside me and let me know that things will work out. He loves me. Heavenly Father loves me. We're not being punished, He's just waiting for the perfect time to send them to us.

After a good talk, Jason took me to 7-11 for Slurpees. Yes, we ditched church, went to the Sev and then we went up to New Harmony to visit Jason's dad. It was a good chance to get studied up on my History homework/notes. When we got there, we took his dad to lunch. We wanted to go to Brad's Food Hut, but they were closed. Imagine a Utah store closed on Sunday. LOL So, we went to a national chain... Winger's. (I personally love getting Creamy Buffalo Sauce to dip teh popcorn in. YUM!)

We had a great afternoon with Jason's dad and Tammy, but then we rushed home to make it to Jenny's in time for my dad's party. Jenny made tacos. They were SOOOO good. I personally loved that she fried the shells. (I'm getting hungry.)

After dinner and pie, "Bitsy" Brittney, Bobby, Jason and I played some Mexican Train. I was creamed! Jason and I then headed off to Brian's Battle of the Bands. (Brian is Jason's little brother for those that don't know. He is in a band called the Forget Me Now's. You'll hear of them soon.) I don't know how many bands there were, but Brian's band and another tied for first place, so they both advance to the next round! YAY!

The judges said that the Forget Me Now's had original lyrics, kept the crowd pumped, had good communication with the crowd and the only thing they really needed to work on was their precision. I think it was precision. It was late by this time so I'm probably wrong. Anyway, it was a great day. I loved being able to see Jason's dad, my dad and getting a glimpse of how great of a dad my husband will be.

Not thinking about what I use to...

I just have to gloat for a minute. I planted a garden a month or so ago to give me something to do around the house. I play WoW with Jason, but sometimes it makes me think of babies, and kids cause everyone seems to have to take breaks cause "baby is crying" or "daughter aggro". The garden has taken up more of my time.

I am also taking online college classes, 3 of them as mentioned before. I'm just over a week into them and they have got me twirling in circles.

Work is also working me a few more hours, which isn't too bad. And, I have substituted in Primary a couple times in the last couple weeks.

With all this going on, I have to say that I have succeeded in getting my brain off babies! Today was the first day that I have dwelt on babies in a while. AND, I kind of wonder, if I hadn't gone out and done some grocery shopping and seen all the cute kids/families, would I have thought about babies?

First week

I have made it through the first week of school. Yay! I'm taking 3 online courses. Yes, I like to take online courses cause when I actually have to show up to class, I find myself skipping class so I can be at home, snuggling with Jason. This then turns into failing grades and money wasted. (Now I see why my dad told me no boys or pets while in college.)

I'm taking History 102. This is everything from Reconstruction through today. I've been reading since a week before classes started cause this semester seems to be nothing BUT reading, and my first homework assignment had nothing to do with anything I read! I had to make sure I was reading the right book. Hopefully in the next week or so we'll get going onto the topics in the book.

I am also taking Accounting 220. This is Integrated Accounting for Windows. Even if I was a have to sit in a class and be taught by someone standing in front of me, this wouldn't have happened. This is an online only class. It helps you learn how to use windows, and how to use the programs most accounting firms use. This is my kind of class, because, it's all black and white. NO GRAY AREAS! WOOT!!!

My third class is Business Law. Ugh. Just the sound of it makes me want to cry. The cost of the book, which I already complained about a couple weeks ago, makes me want to cry. Luckily my work pays for books and tuition, so that will be included for my tuition reimbursement. This class is pretty tough. There are a total of 5 ways you can get grades. 25 points for your "Introduction of yourself" and 4 quizzes at 120 points each. There are a total of 565 points you can earn, and if you get 472 or less, you will have to retake the class. My first test I got a 77.5 on. I definitely need to give this class a little more attention.

Away We Go

Another semester

I started a new semester today. I'm pretty excited about it. I love summer classes cause they're shorter. At the same time, I think it makes it harder.

Either way, I analyzed my classes I've taken and the ones I need to take and have found that as long as I take 3 classes for the next 3 semesters, I will have my Associate in Accounting in May 2011! Not bad, eh?

I'm taking Business Law, Accounting for Windows and Hist 102. There is a lot of reading. Dread. It makes me sad cause I just got into reading for personal enjoyment. I know in Fall I will be able to read silly things again and I look forward to that.
