Freedom! Time to.....

RELAX!!!

Too bad we can't do it....

HERE!!

We'll settle for a house devoid of stress :)

Ben is finally done with this quarter! He finished his last test on Friday and since then we have managed to sleep in, download music, watch movies, play racquetball, go to the temple, teach the sunbeams, chill, and get to know each other again after an estrangement caused by studying...just kidding :P We have done nothing that requires too much brain power and everything that we enjoy! We can breathe again! Oh how we enjoy the calm; and we are going to take advantage of it before the storm starts again in a week!

You mean, they're really letting me come back?

So, some good news on our end today: I got re-accepted to BYU! It was a pretty for sure thing since I am a former student and I haven't flunked anything, but it is still exciting to actually know. I will be going back to Utah a week before Ben in June and will start again with Summer term. It's school full-time for me. I figured out that with the credit I will be getting for my Independent Study classes and attending Institute here in Kirksville, I will only have thirteen of fourteen classes left to take. That means if I take a ton of credits each semester, which I plan to do, I can probably be done in a little over a year from now! Haha! I am so excited! Oh it feels so good. Graduation, here I come...finally!

A Bunch of Nerds...

After a long day of studying, a few moments of respite for dinner, and two episodes of House, Ben and Meg sit on the living room couch and stare at the now empty tv screen.

"So do you need to study tonight?" asks Meg.
"Yeah, probably," sighs Ben. "How about you?"
"I guess I should," Meg says, resorting to fate.

Two hours later:
"How's it comin'?" Meg asks so she can find an excuse to stop studying for a few seconds.
Ben leans back in his chair and replies,"Good, you?"
"Fine, I might almost be done for the night," Meg replies with hope.

An hour later:

"Are you done yet?" Meg asks with desperate pleading in her eyes for a positive response. She is looking for any reason to not have to work on school anymore for the day.

"That's good enough for tonight, let's go to bed," Ben finally replies.

Seven hours later:

"Mmmrgrgggg . . . I don't wanna get up!" Meg mumbles into the pillow and Ben just laughs.

At least there is yummy cold cereal in the kitchen and Friday is just three days away. Oh, and I can't forget the haven for dinner and chillin' in between study sessions!

:) What a good sport! We are so close Ben!

Ben and I are quite the pair these days. Study, study, study...Us two peas in a pod are so interesting, don't you think?!
