Chocolate chip mania!

So I just got home from work and I am tired. We do a lot of set ups on Tuesday nights, we were behind, and we were short people. With the new chairs in all of the classrooms it took a lot longer to set up, too. But we got it done, we just didn't get any extra stuff done, but today was my last day so I don't care! I'm kinda feel bad I'm leaving Phil short people and during the busiest week of the year, but there isn't too much I can do about that. I guess I could stay and just go down with daddy, but I think I would totally fall apart being away from my hubby for so long.

I'm not nearly as stressed as I should be, though. I am taking a final tomorrow and I have only studied for 1 hour so far. Plus I still have tons of cleaning and packing left to do. But at least I'm not going into work. But I do want to go see my homies down in Cinnamon Tree though. I can't believe Amy graduates in August! I want to say goodbye before we part ways pretty much forever. Which is sad, the posse is breaking up for real. Okay, well, I've done my part posting quite a bit, now it is everyone else's job to step it up!

Worst. Idea. Ever.

Let me paint the scene for you. Me alone, about 10:15pm. I'm bored and I don't want to study. I put in a movie, but not just any movie. I put in a chick flick. Now, let me tell you why that wasn't very smart. I am a lonely wreck right now and I shouldn't have been watching a movie about people being together and falling in love because my husband is a few hundred miles away. I cried at the end of the Holiday. Not even at the sad part, at the happy part because I am alone. It was a pretty good movie though, I have to admit.

Work today was boring, but I don't mind it much. I also got an 80% on my midterm, which is pretty good. And I finally started cleaning the house. I got the living room organized and all the dishes done and cabinets cleaned out and started making piles of things to take, to give away, and to leave here. I'm getting excited to leave though. Rick said the apartment we're living in is pretty nice. And I'm just excited for a change of scenery and a chance to do something different for awhile. I'll finally get to do the stay at home wife thing and have the house clean and dinner ready when my husband gets home from a long day at work. I'm pretty excited about it, actually. It will definitely be different than what we do now.

This is an email I got from the apartment complex Rick and I are living in while we are in CA. Is Allison my first name? No, actually it isn't. No wonder they kept asking Rick to make sure I filled one out, cause obviously we have different last names.

I'm a toothbrush murderer

Hey all! Look what I'm doing, I'm posting on my blog! pretty awesome, I know, now Caleb you don't have to be so bummed. It's just hard posting when it doesn't feel like I'm doing anything interesting. Today is not interesting either, but I'll write something anyway.

Well, the last couple of days I've been working late so make more $$$. Next week will be my last full week of work at the MTC, at least for this summer. I can't believe we are moving so soon, we're going to begin packing stuff for Rick to take with him when he drives down. It is just weird because we need a lot of our everyday things, but not everything since we will only be gone a couple of months. And we don't have to pack everything because we still haven't found anyone to sublease our apartment, so we're planning on leaving most of our stuff in here. We'll probably give Holly and Caleb a key so they can check up on it every once in awhile and make sure it isn't flooded or broken into. Also, Holly and Caleb, we're planning on giving you one laptop and possibly the destktop too while we're gone so you can use them all you want!

Well, interesting things going on. First, I have been scrubbing tile and grout the last 3 nights, which is why I'm a toothbrush murderer. It was hard to get the grout, so I used a toothbrush like tool and I totally wore the bristles down to nothing. Second, I finally rented Dreamgirls and I love it! I really want the soundtrack now, because so many of the songs are so good! And Beyonce wasn't even half bad either. Third, today in my marketing class we spent the first 20 minutes watching a group present, then we spent the rest of the time preparing for and performing skits. There were three groups and we were given a theme to present and we had to do some type of shopping experience. Our group had the Pride and Prejudice theme, and the other two groups had Indiana Jones and Freddy Kruger. We all had props and costumes because we had about 45 minutes to prepare, so we left to people's apartments to get stuff. Let me just say, the Indiana Jones skit was amazing. Fourth, I watched the first Pirates movie, and it is totally the best of them all.

In other news, I can't wait to go home! And living in Long Beach will be sweet! Our apartment complex has a pool, a jacuzzi and a workout facility with a bunch of treadmills and stuff. I'm gonna work out every day since I'll be at home all the time. And the apartment layout looks like we'll have plenty of space, especially since we're taking very little. I'm going to be sad to leave my calling though, and by the time I get back Amy will be a graduated woman! I can't believe that she is graduating so soon! Another good thing about going down to CA though, is that Rick and I are going to finally go to Las Vegas. We're probably going to spend 3 or 4 nights there, we're for sure going to see a circ du soleil show while we are there, and it is going to be so much fun!

Okay, well, that is a pretty good post for now, but I promise to be better at writing on it!
