Let's play catch up

So, we spent last week celebrating Michael's amazing accomplishment. I am still so very proud of him. We went out to dinner on Wednesday to celebrate and we also met up with my parents on Friday to celebrate. My parents took us to dinner at this really great Asian fusion place in Dallas. It was very delicious. They had sushi, asian, and thai food all mixed together. It was wonderful. Well, I spent a good chunk of saturday studying for my midterm and then we spent some time shopping for some more stuff to decorate the house. We also went to a friend's birthday party on Saturday night. It was a nice time. It is one of the Repiratory Therapist's at work. We had a good time hanging out and chatting it up with some new friends. Sunday, I did a bit more studying, but we spent most of the day decorating the house, which might I say looks quite great. I am very happy with the way it is all turning out. Michael and Gabe worked really hard putting up shelves and wall hangings from the ceiling. It looked like very hard work. Thanks so much, guys.

I had my midterm on Monday and I think it went well. I should get the grade back in a few days. I just found out today that I don't have either of my classes next week, since both my professors are out of town at conferences. Also, my paper that was due on monday is not due the following monday. Yeah for that. I still plan to get it done this weekend because I have an assignment due in my other class that I have to work on next weekend. Anyway, all that to say, the PhD program is still going well. Keeping me busy, but going well. I also got to buy my first new computer. We bought a Dell laptop. The computer and the mouse are red. How cute is that? :) It came in the mail today and I cant wait to get home to open it. I think this will be so helpful to be able to take to class and stuff. I am really looking forward to using it.

Well, we are planning a party for the weekend of Nov. 3 and 4. since we have been able to spend some time decorating the house, we are ready to throw a housewarming party. I think it will be tons of fun. other than that, all is good over here.

One more thing, I just wanted to send a shout out to Michael for getting the oil changed in my car for me. He had to wait almost an hour and half. I can definitley do this myself, but it is so nice to have such a wonderful husband who will help me out with that kind of stuff. Thanks so much, hon.
