We are definitely ready for summer, that's for sure. It's been one crazy month. Mid-terms, registering for Fall Semester, working on late night projects... I think our brains are oozing out our ears now. These next two weeks will be torturous, as we prepare for finals. I can't believe the semester is coming to an end already. It's gone by so fast. I was able to receive a private scholarship from the school and a pell grant. What a blessing for us! I am still on the search for a job, and hoping to get something soon with all the students leaving for break. Tayler will continue to work on campus as a Course Improvement Specialist.
The weather has been so nice here! 80s and 90s mostly. It has been very hard to resist not wearing shorts or flip flops when at school...
I've had the chance to participate a lot in the child preschool labs on campus. Oh, I LOVE it!! This is definitely the major I'm suppose to be in. Those kids bring so much joy into my day. I can't wait until I can start teaching in the labs in the upcoming semesters.I created a Pinterest account, finally. Ha! ...I can't believe it took me so long to get one.
For some odd reason all the spiders like to come out of hiding and crawl up and down our walls once Tayler leaves for work. Seriously!? It's like they all know I'm terrified of them. Good thing I married someone who isn't afraid of killing those creepy crawlers.
Ever since I was little, I loved to dance. I remember taking a balle class, a few hip hop classes, even cheer camps... but never did I think I'd love ballroom dancing! Tayler sort of pushed me into taking a Social Dance class at the beginning of the semester with him. It's become my most favorite class! Fox Trot, Swing, Waltz, Cha cha--Way fun:)
We cannot wait for August to come. We get to go to Wallowa Lake, OR. with my family and then backpacking with Tayler's family afterwards. This will be my first backpacking experience and the first time for Tayler since he's been back from his mission. Fun times ahead! :)
Today, Tayler and I celebrate our 3rd month of being married. WAHOO! Our "quarter-of-a-year-iversary." Or as Tayler calls it, "quarter-iversary."
Striving to be a homemaker, I've been...experimenting with food. Some things turn out better than others. Like this pound cake I decided to make, I forgot we didn't have a "loaf pan" to bake it in. Oops? Plus, it was Sunday and we couldn't go to the store. So I baked it in a sheet pan. Bad idea. Almost burned the whole thing and it was hard as a rock. Fail.
Hey, it's all a learning experience, right? :) Like when Tayler wanted some scrambled eggs and I forgot to spray the pan... (facepalm). Thank goodness for scrub-brushes.
Here are a couple of my successful baking attempts:
