I'm done!

After a very refreshing and relaxing weekend, I woke up this morning to absolute flam. It sure looked pretty from my window, and I naively thought, "Oh, I'll just brush the snow off my car and head merrily down the road." After 10 minutes of ice-picking my car in the blowing cold and snow, I headed down the bobsled course, perhaps more commonly known as I-15. After taking twice as long to get to school as normal (but thankfully coming nowhere near to dying), I started class only partially discombobulated. (Praise the heavens I already had today's lesson planned and an AMAZING copy lady to get me my copies ASAP!) I'm SO done with the cold and the snow; I cannot eloquently put my hatred and disgust into words. Perhaps I'm hoping it's a bargain the Lord and I are making--Suffer through this cold, Haylee, and June 17th will be the most beautiful day in the history of beautiful days. But there's not much I can do about the snow right now, so I will stop complaining . . . at least mostly.



But back to my fantastic weekend--low-key describes it perfectly. On Friday night I made Parmesan chicken (it's the first real meal I've cooked in about two weeks--poor Allan! It's been a long, stressful two weeks!), and Allan and I watched Pride and Prejudice.



On Saturday, I woke up at 10:30 in the blessed A.M., cleaned my house, went with Allan to get a baby shower present, and then went to Allan's sister's baby shower. Afterwards, Allan and I went to Target and registered. We went to his house: he made dinner, I sat on the couch and watched Cars. Then, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and bought a comforter and pillow shams for his--our--bed. I'd had my eye on this comforter since we registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and we just decided to go get it ourselves for two main reasons: 1) It was going on clearance and might not be there in two months; 2) it was a little bit of a pricier item (but did that stop me from putting other extravagant items on there? Not so much!). We returned to the house, put the comforter on the bed, put the comforter back in the bag, and finished watching Cars.



Church was great (although I did have an early ward counsel meeting), and after church, I fell asleep and took a three hour nap. Allan and I read a little bit, made dinner, and played some games.



It was such an enjoyable weekend. For the past two weeks I've been stressed about the end of the term (getting grades done and submitted, not killing children, etc.) and about science fair. But, thankfully, the term is over and science fair is too. We did extremely well at science fair! We have three projects going to the international fair, we won seven 1st places, one 2nd place, and three 3rd places, and a long list of other special awards.



Spring break is in two weeks, I'm getting married in 78 days . . . really, life couldn't be better! =)



(Except for the snow. I'm done with the snow.)

I'm done with snow too. I don't care if it's rainy, I just want it to be warm! As for real life, I say POO! but I'm glad you're doing well. You deserve it!

Deb said...

Yay! I am so glad to hear that. Hooray for happiness! Down with the snow and cold! But you know what they say about March and lambs and lions.

Jo said...

Low key, I'm glad you had it. :)

Al said...

At least the snow means no drought conditions this summer, eh?! :)

Glad life was low key. We all need low key...and more often.

Woah! Bed comforter...trying out the bed comforter...!? HAY!?!!!!? ;)

Way to score sweet clearance deals. So are you not registering at IKEA? Just Target and Bed, Bath, & Beyond? Are you still thinking some form of "food storage" theme for bridal shower?

What are the dates for your spring break?

I think it's supposed to rain all this week, but at least it will warm up a bit and be in the mid 40s. :)

Al said...

How is Allan doing?

No Ikea. My mom really wouldn't like that (she hates Ikea). And I've already registered two places. Three seems a bit overboard, but that's just me.

The food storage idea sounds fine, but if you don't want to, a kitchen and/or bath would be good too. Either way.

Allan's great. =) We're just trucking along! He's a very patient man, and I am so grateful for that!
