What? This blog still exists?

It seems like forever since I have done a legit blog post... sorry about that. It's not that I haven't had the time, and I have definitely been thinking of things that I've wanted to say ... I just ... well ... I don't have an excuse. So, I will give you a quick update about our ever-so-exciting life! I guess I'll rewind back to Thanksgiving, since it has been about THAT long since I've posted much...

For Thanksgiving break, we went to my parents' house! It was really nice to spend so much time with my nephews, and the rest of my family! We were able to enjoy some great food, and take a much needed break from school.

This is Austin. One of the cutest and happiest kids ever. Also hilarious. He can put on a great show. A comedy. Not a drama ... we'll let Payton have that one. Of course though, walking around with a sword in your mouth is definitely what normal people do, right? That's what I thought.

Anyway, back to the updates ... as always, the break went by way WAY too quickly. There were so many papers, tests, projects and presentations due between Thanksgiving and finals week it was too hard to keep track ... just to add one more thing in the mix, I also created this presentation for Chem-Dry! Go check it out.

Now finals week. I had it pretty dang good this semester. Both of my finals were online, and they were both open book. I was done with everything by Monday, and I've just been trying to pass the time since then. Finals week wasn't quite as kind to Tyler though. He had tests in Microbiology and Physics on Monday (his two hardest tests), then two more tests on Thursday. He rocked them all though! I'm so proud of him.

Here we are, Friday of finals week, and I'm just at work waiting for time to pass. Is it just me, or does time creep by ever-so-slowly on Fridays from 1:30-5? It's just me (and other various lab consultants, I'm assuming)... my computer lab is pretty busy now though, I guess. I'm the only person here ... One more thing ... I saw this in the library on Monday. I thought it was pretty funny. I wonder what was supposed to be in there? If it were me, it would probably be a can of Coke...

What do you think should be in the case?

Little Letters

I know, I've been really good at doing my little letters on Fridays. Oh well, it doesn't matter, because they are here now! Here we go!


Dear Snow, I have been watching you fall for the last 4 hours (it has felt like longer). You look really pretty, but... I just don't like you very much. You make everything all cold and wet. Plus, I don't want to walk home in you. Please stop. Love, A really cold girl.

Dear School, I'm ready for a break. Too bad we can't just have a full week for Thanksgiving! Only 3 1/2-ish more days and I'll be leaving town! Yippee! Love, A tired college student.

Dear Computer Labs, You are a fabulous job to have! I am happy that I have been able to get so much done today. I just wish you weren't as cold sometimes... Oh well. I've got my coat on. Love, A satisfied employee.

Dear Self, You should eat some ice cream tonight. Love, Self.

Dear Weekend, FINALLY!! Need I say more? Love, Me.

Dear Readers, If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have this blog. Thank you for making me feel like somebody is listening. Love, Katie.

Dear Sandy, Just in case I don't blog tomorrow... Happy Birthday! I wish I was there to celebrate with you! Love ya! Love, Your favorite neice! 

Dear Tyler, You are the best. Thank you for keeping me going. Also, I don't know if you remember, but this morning around 4:15 there was a really big gust of wind that woke me up. Thank you for letting me cuddle with you for a minute until I could calm down again. You might have stayed asleep... Either way, thank you. I love you! Love, your Sweetie.

Happy Friday!!

I feel a little bit famous...

Just a little bit though, not enough to go to my head. Especially since my last name is spelled wrong one of the times I am mentioned...
