Done With Finals!

Today was the last day of finals. I took my LAST one for all my undergrad education. Plans for now: relax, relax, relax, in a little while start to prep for the GRE, get into grad school and finish a Masters. Matt has practically accepted a position as an agent for United American Insurance (it's a health and life insurance company). That means we'll be in Utah for a while longer. We graduate on Friday! I'll post pictures of graduation in a few days :)

Storms

We were woken up about 2:00 am last night by lots of thunder and lightning.
It wasn't technically a "severe" storm but I heard what sounded like hail hitting our skylight.
Since we need a new roof I have been praying for large hail to hit our house some time this year.
We took a picture, but I don't think this will be big enough.
Maybe next time.

Good idea!

HI! We are new at this, too, but we'll try to keep up.

i have finally managed to get a job! Mike Abbeta [Nani and grampa you might know him he's in 3rd ward] who owns Joe's Italian ice said he is going to hire me once the weather warms up, since it is an Italian ice place and he likes to wait till it gets closer to the summer to have a full staff. i am very excited. in case you have never been to Joe's the people who work there are very preppy and loud, so it looks like my loud preppy personality has finally come in handy xD

Today's post brought to you by...

Always liked Office Depot, but now I like 'em even better. Several months ago, I bought a 2-phone set there because, with the rebates, they cost only $10. I mailed in the rebate form, and periodically checked on its status, then finally almost forgot about it.
Then earlier this week, out of the blue, here comes a check from Office Depot with a letter explaining that THEY opted to fulfill the rebates since the other company (American Telecom--bad!) had failed to do so.
Not only that, but OD also sent a $10 coupon and a $5 gift card as compensation for having to wait so long! So I got me a new computer desk, and only paid 35 bucks for it!

I've been using Mom's old desk, but Peter said it wasn't ergonomic. Really didn't bother me, but I have to say this is better. Now the old desk can become a sewing table. Don't want to part with it, because it is so sturdy.

Anybody see the Dems debate last night?

I haven't seen that much tap dancing (by Obama) since Gregory Hines. Can't he answer a
simple question without a five minuet speech?
