Summer break? What is that?

The semester is over!!!! FINALLY! Earlier this month I took my last final and completed my first semester as a masters student. I have gotten my final grades and I have to gloat here a little bit. Yep! 4.0 baby! This is the first 4.0 I have ever gotten in my life! I have come close a few times (like 3.9 gosh dang it!) but finally, as a master's student I did it! Now, I just have to keep it up until graduation. That's the hard part. Senoir-itis always seems to get the best of me. Not this year Mr. itis.....not this year!

Before the semester ended I signed up for summer classes fully intending on getting some extra classes in before the fall so I could fill my last year of school with fun electives. Then about a week ago I saw the light. I have been going to school ever summer for a very long time. AAAAAND if I took summer classes that means I would have gone to school for ten semesters straight with no break by the time I graduate. And you know what?! I don't HAVE to go to summer classes anymore! So I promptly called the registrars office and dropped all my summer semester classes! 

I now have about three and a half months with no homework, tests, or classes. What now?! I don't know how I will handle this break but it is probably going to look a little like this: Trips to the beach, working out,visits from my sister and Nephew, lots of playing late into the warm summer nights and trips to Utah and Idaho to see people I love dearly, go to the Families supporting Adoption Conference, and see Tressa off at the MTC. (Tressa, are you sure you want to leave me?) Yeah, I am pretty sure life is going to be GREAT! Bring it on!

You should take a trip to Boston sometime this summer!!! we could come down and hang out in that great city. It would be nice to see someone I know.

That is a first, first. First for you and I think a first for one of my kids. Let me know if I am wrong. I'm proud of you.

Congratulations on an amazing semester! Also congratulations for taking a summer off. The first in many years. Love and miss you, Mari Ann

P.S. Tell Tressa congratulations as well. It was just the other day she was still in high school and coming to visit you. Where does time go?
