Fantastic!

Things are going good. Well, better than good. Fantastic. Though I have become better and better aquainted with "Phil, the air guy", who comes to our rescue repeatedly over our NEW AC unit, I am keeping positive! I am sick of something on the new unit not working, and though it is sweet of Phil not to charge to come fix the something-or-other, I am really tired of hearing how his dog is scared of the new lizard on his fence and about his sore shoulder.
The good, no great, part of life is that I made A's on my classes this past session. (Yes, go ahead and yell "YAY" for me!) I am too excited. I do, however, have a passionate, Catholic, VERY Catholic professor for my New Testament class this session. It is a HARD class. I knew it would be as I did decide to attend a private, Catholic school... but man. I just started the new class Wednesday, and walked out with 110 pages to read not counting the book of Romans! I also have to become familiar with a Catholic Study Bible...I had a zillion questions for Eric when I got home and he of course, as many of you probably know, is hardly able to sit in his seat with wanting to refute things and fill my mind with answers, questions, etc. to throw at my poor professor. LOL... at least we do not have a test in there- just 3 papers. (Which Eric will help me on!) My other class is wonderful- Children's Literature. LOVE it. Love the reading, the assignments sound fun...just like my Education in Society class. LOVED it. Miss it. The small school is awesome- we are becoming friends, all of us on this journey, and the teachers email and call you (and invite you to all their cell at anytime) to make sure you are doing great- how awesome is that???
Another great thing: Lauren is CRAWLING! She is zooming. I can't believe my bundle of cuddly cuteness is on the move! The differences in the girls are crazy- Little "Tot" is so different than Bella- she loves being cuddled, just coos all the time and is so laid-back. Bella always wanted her alone time, hated being cuddled and is so headstrong. LOL... she is a genious though. The other day I noticed something black on B's face-
I said "Bella, what is all over your face?"
Her reply: "Issa BUG"
It was not a bug in fact, but dirt...she had just learned what a BUG was the day before! (not much but come on, she's 18 months!!)
Bella also has a British accent. I love it! She says "momay" stressing the "ay" part, as well as "ello"... so cute.
Pray I get Bella into the MMO program I am trying for... she's on a waiting list and it's a good program for her. 2 days a week with other kids, playing outside and learning about Jesus at a great church here!
Eric and I are awesome. Marriage is awesome. We had date night last night which was... yep, awesome. Steak and holding hands and staring at each other.. does it get better? (Umm, no.)
Took the girls to Tweetsie last week. Sooo much fun. They had a blast from the past. Hardy har har. Thought they would freak at the train, but they LOVED it. Even Tot- she threw her little chubby hands in the air at the wind blowing her face! :) I will post pics soon!!! Very soon!!
(Promises, Promises).
Congrats to the marrying couple this weekend. We will be there with bells on!

Has it been that long?

I can't believe it's been so long since I wrote. Time flies when your life is insane!! School is so fun- really really fun. My professors are awesome and one has become a friend, my classmates are amazing women and so great to talk with. It's like a mini vacation to go to class! My first 8 week session is almost over and the next one starts the next week! No breaks here!

Eric and I are taking the girls to the mountains next weekend and to Tweetsie for their first time. I expect Bella to be mostly terrified at everything and Tot to not care as long as she can reach her feet to play with, but Eric and I are excited! :)

Again- kudos to Eric for the awesome job he does with the girls. He kept them again last night while I was at school and put Bella to bed. When she woke this morning to mommy instead of her daddy being there, she honestly looked disappointed! (as i tear up again)... all day she has been saying "Dadeee!" and looking out the window. Thanks a lot. haha. I will get over this.

I have tons of things I could say and I will later, for now, my ramen noodles are boiling and you know those suckers are done in no time.. lol... i never had these things while in college and now i am obsessed!! Oh and guess what... Eric has officially lost 40 lbs!! He looks amazing- not kidding. What a blessed woman I am. Now if I could just lose 15 more... agh! (Back to my carb lunch...)
