We're still alive and well! It has been very very very busy here. We're getting ready for some upcoming changes!
Both Scott and I are back in school. Hallelujah it is my LAST semester! The downside? In order to finish up this spring I'm taking seven classes. That's not even really allowed, I had to get permission. I am crazy, but very motivated and excited.
Along with me graduating, I have also decided to leave my job at the arts council in the spring. It's extremely bittersweet; I have been there over five years! Scott and I still plan on volunteering, we LOVE the people we have become connected with there.

If you know Scott and I, you know we don't let ourselves get so busy that we don't spend some time doing fun things! Probably too much fun. Actually, is there even such a thing?
Just this past weekend, we got to 'cash in' on the Christmas present my siblings and I gave my mom.
We all went to see 'Anything Goes'. It was long overdue! Growing up, we heard the story of how mom was in that play in high school. After all these years, none of us had ever seen the show! When we (the kids) heard it was being put on by WSU in January, we jumped on it and bought 9 tickets for Christmas. Mom was so surprised! Yesterday was the day, so all the kids, mom and dad, and Nana went.
All bias aside, my mom had the BEST role in the show! She played Bonnie/Erma who is a hysterical flapper (the play takes place in the 20's). Tonight after Sunday dinner, dad pulled out his old 8mm projector and we watched some actual footage of my mom in the play! He and mom were high school sweethearts so he had taped her in the show. What a treasure!
Bear with me in the coming months...with so much school on the brain I might end up blogging a thesis. At least that way you could all proof read it for me. Ha ha, don't worry. I'll keep things straight. I hope.

Wow, good luck with this last semester of yours. I had to do that a few semesters. It sucked, but I had to work so hard I had the best grades in those semesters.
Too bad about leaving Davis Arts Council, but I'm glad you'll still be volunteering.
I feel like I never talk to you. All that's new in my neck of the woods is that I graduated, had cancer, been fighting cancer and now I'm (HUGE surprise) pregnant and due in the first part of August. Your excitement seems a lot more fun than mine has been... and a lot healthier. :)
My goodness you are going to be one busy gal! 7 classes? Do we need to check you into a hospital to see if your crazy?! Good luck! I'm sure it will be worth it when you finally get your diploma.
Also that is very sad about the Arts Council. I know how much you liked it.
WOW! 7 classes! You go Heather. When it gets rough, just think of you and Scott on the beach come June! It'll get you through! LOVE YA!
GOOD LUCK Heather!!!! Wow you rate sure a go getter!!! Lots of love and hope all is well!!! :)
7 classes!?! Crazy! But you can totally do it!!! What are you studying by the way? You'll both be so relieved when you're done. I am going back to finish my masters in the Fall and Sophie is going back in the summer so we can semi feel your pain!
You can do it you can do it you can do it! One month down :)
