Valentine's Day

This past weekend was the silliest holiday ever - Valentine's Day.
Most people seem to hate it, others absolutely love it. Where do I stand? Right in the middle, I guess.

I don't understand why people make a big deal out of one day of the year for which you are supposed to show your love for others. First of all, you should do that every single day; second of all, prices for flowers and gifts are so overpriced!

Nevertheless, Lucas got me flowers, got up SUPER early (for him! :) to make me breakfast in bed and did most of my laundry this weekend! What a sweetie! I love him lots! We went out for Chinese also.

We ventured home this past weekend to babysit Ana and Garret and just visit. It was a nice weekend at home. On Friday night Holly and Gary hosted a Belated B-Day Party for Lucas (Thanks Holl!!), Saturday was Party # 2 for Lucas at his Mom's house and Valentine's Day festivities above and Sunday was church and time at home with Mom and Dad for me! :)

Tonight some friends and I are going out to a local Mexican restaurant - Cancuns! I'm quite excited!!

Slowing Down

So, last night was the end of the RA Selection Committee (one volunteer experience that took up A LOT of my time the past two weeks!!). Last night the committee deliberated and picked our candidates! It was a great experience, and surprisingly, quite fun. I'm excited for those who were selected, they'll find out who they are on Friday! Hopefully not that this process is over I can slow down a little bit. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

This past weekend Lucas celebrated his 22nd Birthday!! (And, it was my 1/2 Birthday :)) In celebration of both Lucas' and Randy's (Lucas' friend/roommate), we went out for supper at Milwaukee Burger Co., a new restaurant in EC. It was pretty good and the boys got free drinks for their Birthdays. :) I also made some more chocolate caramel bars and one of Lucas' favorites - Pineapple Upside Down cake. I haven't had a piece of the cake and really don't plan to, so I can't tell you if it was any good. Lucas says it is, so it must be!

Tonight Lucas is coming over for dinner and I am going to make supper: pork chops, asparagus, potatoes and some jello with fruit. I love being in Chancellors and being able to cook a decent meal! :)

One Week In

Well, I have successfully completed the first week of my last semester on campus. :) I am keeping myself busy as ever but did very little this weekend so it was a nice change of pace. I am absolutely loving not making the drive every other weekend to work (but, I most certainly do miss my wonderful family! :))

Classes shouldn't be too bad at all this semester and I am only taking 12 credits because that's all I really need to take. I'm working lots of hours at the front desk of course and watching Teddy. :) I'm also still VP for Circle K, so there is lots of community service projects to do there. The Hall Director of Chancellor's asked me to be on the RA Selection Committee, so for this week I will be SUPER busy with that.

This weekend Lucas and I prepared a roast in my crockpot that I got for Christmas. It was delicious! :) I did lots of baking too. Banana Bread with chocolate chips... one of Lucas' favorites and some chocolate caramel bars (everyone's favorite!!)
