You thought I never would...

Update! I'm here! I'm alive! Kind of...well...more so than the past two days!

What is going on in our lives...well, let's see...

A couple of Sunday's ago I took the first official step to being Catholic, by professing my intentions in front of the congregation and by being blessed in my journey. It was an amazing experience, really. First of all, Sam performed my blessing, which made it even more special. And of course, announcing my intentions to become Catholic in front of people for the first time was pretty awesome, too. But the completion of the amazingness was seeing how happy my future in-laws were as I walked back to the pew. I thought Barb was tearing up a little. I was happy they were so happy! And of course, I am happy with my decision as well, so...yay!

Now about that being alive thing...I finally came down with the "crud" that is going around at school. Ick. It was rough. I NEVER stay home sick (unless I have a migraine, and that is mostly because I can't see and therefore can't drive), but today is my...drum roll please...SECOND day home! And I am feeling a thousand times better! I have a cough and it makes my voice funny, but my body doesn't hurt, I don't have a fever, and I have gotten a ton of rest. I would even be looking forward to going back to school if it weren't for...

This weekend is a long weekend. We have a three day weekend, plus a little extra time off on Friday. We were planning on either going car camping on the Oregon Coast or on the Olympic Penninsula, but it doesn't look like the weather is going to hold. And if Sam comes down with this yucky cold he will be miserable the entire time. No good. So, I do not know what we are going to do with our time, but hopefully we will be able to find something to do that gets us out and moving around. Really...we just need it to be summer. (Here is my wedding plug for the post...137 days!!!)

OH, and we are looking at buying a new car! THAT is an entirely different story!
