Happy Long Weekend!

A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in.

-Robert Orben


I love when long weekends come right when you need them most! I'm so excited for this weekend. We still have 3 more weeks of school around here, and knowing that people (a.k.a. Christian) are already out for the summer plus all of the craziness that isn't slowing down at work makes 3 more weeks sound like a very long time. So, having a Monday off tempers the pain at least a little.
But, just as I complain a little about work, I'm also excited to be able to say that I have a job for next year, which I am very happy about (though there have been days recently where I really wonder why!)
We're also getting things ready here for our summer - we have to pack up some of our apartment to make room for sub-letters. Then we'll pack up the car and head out to Utah, me for a couple of months and Jon for a couple of weeks before he flies out to Asia.
Speaking of packing - I should probably be doing some on these days off this weekend, but I'm oh so enjoying just taking it easy ... maybe I'll muster up some ambition and pack 2 or 3 boxes -- or maybe just one :)
Happy Memorial Day!

Looking Up

We've had these gorgeous flowers blooming all down our street the last couple of weeks, and I've been dying to get out and try some pictures of them. Today, I made it out and enjoyed trying out our new camera and a couple of new styles. Tell me what you think!
