Updates!

I haven't blogged in a hot, hot minute. I was busy. Gimme a break. So, what better way to reintroduce myself than to do an update blog?!?!?!

*First and foremost, I passed that GD math class! I didn't get the grade I wanted, but I passed with a "C" so I never have to take it again! YESSS! It was an absolutely miserable experience. Did I mention that I HATE MATH??? Cause I do.

This is how math equates in my brain. Moving on...

*We planted our garden. It's a work in progress..that's what we'll call it. The broccoli plants are kicking ass (and yes...taking names!), the carrots are doing well (or at least they seem to be), but the onions, tomatoes, and peppers...I don't know about, yet. Just in case, this past weekend at the Broad Ripple Farmer's Market we bought two tomato plants to put in our garden.

*I will be taking my last two classes this summer at Ivy Tech! I technically only had to take one, but since I was taking one, I figure why not take two? I'll be taking a exposition/arguments writing class and a sociology class called "social problems." I'm a total nerd, but I just LOVE learning about people, hence the anthropology major. DUH. Making this doubly awesome is that I bought BOTH of my books for the semester for less than thirty dollars! WOOT!

*I'm all set and ready to go for IUPUI, almost. Just when I thought math was O.V.E.R. I had to take a placement test before I can do orientation. Whatever, I guess. It was only 7 problems, so I did really well or really shitty. I'll find out in orientation on June 9th. I'm stoked for my classes though! I'll be taking the following: human origins and prehistory, world geography, advanced spanish I, and beginning guitar.

*I'm starting to do some fund raising for the mission to Nigeria. I'm so excited to go back to Africa, and to be a part of something so amazing. Plus, I will get to visit with Lindsay since she will be there for six months.

*We bought a new mower that I'm obsessed with. No, really. It's a reel mower, also known as "hey, 1953 called and it wants its' mower back." This is what it looks like:
Awesome for many reasons, but mostly because it uses ZERO gas, so no nasty fumes and loud noise when I mow. BEST. MOWER. EVER. And no, it isn't difficult to use.

*In the midst of all the craziness happening in the world right now, Lindsay and I are just as in love as ever! I love the family and love that she and I have created. It's comforting, warm, and where I'm supposed to be.


Hope everyone is well!
