I HATE GRAD SCHOOL!

So it's week one of grad school for Glen and what am i doing at 8 p.m. on a Tuesday night?

MAKING A TIME CHAIN!

That's right i don't think i have made one of these since elementary school but i have decided that since i no longer get to see my husband i will just count down the days until i get to spend all the time in the world with him! (well at least eight days worth)

In 45 days we will be basking in the sun at the Atlantis hotel in the Bahamas, spending countless hours on the beach with my family, our most adorable nephews, and lots of pina coladas, all you can eat buffets, shopping, scuba diving (glen just got certified for this very reason), and much much more!

Now if only i could figure out a plan to get myself in a swimsuit in 45 days... perhaps this time chain can be for more then one thing.... 1.) a count down of the days until i get to be with my husband without grad school 2.) the number of days i have until i have to wear a swimsuit 3.) the number of days i have to successfully complete a diet 4.) the number of days i have until all the food in the world is placed right before me, and i ruin any and all success of a diet

The bottom line, grad school sucks until you are finished and can actually reap the benefits from it! But on a more positive note.... i love my husband and think he is amazing! He works so hard to provide for our little family and I am so grateful for that! Although i complain i know that he does all of this for me! what can i say......I LOVE HIM!

Two of my FAVORITE things in the world:

1. My Husband Glen

2. A place i like to call the "happiest place on earth", LAKE POWELL

What could possibly be better then going to lake powell with you best friend? Dare i say nothing??? Well at this point in our life there really isn't anything much better! It's sad to say this was our last trip to lake powell until next year! I am already counting down the days to summer 2009.

Who goes fishing at lake powell? cat fish, carp, nastiness... well my husband does! So my adorable cousins baby Bailey and I sat on the back of the speed boat to watch him and keep him company.

Bailey again! She is adorable and loved having the attention of 28 people. We all wish we could have a child like Bailey.

One of the best things to do at Powell is float! I could float all day and bask in the sun until i die of skin cancer. I am an Arizona girl and love the sun, i just can't help it.

My mom took this picture as i was leaning in for a kiss but failed to capture us falling off.

At Dangling Rope.... glen grabbed a carp. sick!

I took this picture and am rather proud of the capture i got.

Some of the gang at rainbow bridge. And yes i am in the same brown dress and the same swimsuit, i don't know why we spend a week at powell but happen to only take all of our pictures on one day.

It is so beautiful!

On the sleek going about 75 miles

Our last day on our trip back to the dock.... sad day.

It is tradition that we always stop in the middle of the channel and shower before we go back to the marina. When i say shower i mean put lots of good smelling soap on and then go rinse off in the clean fish water. It all works out some how and you do end up feeling clean?.

Well anyway summer is starting to come to an end and unlike any summer i have ever had i am a little excited to start school. Did i really say that? YES it's true! I am ready to start school, finish it, and be done....FOREVER! Not to mention it's about time all the provo girls come back to provo, even though i am in slc that is not far at all! I need my girlfriends back! I tell glen all the time that i don't have friends.... sad! So where are you girls? Get back here already!!
