Accounting 220 is outta here!

I just finished my accounting course ... what a pain in the neck! I don't know how I mustered the strength to earn a 96% in the class. I am just glad that I was able to maintain my 4.0 GPA. Wish me luck as I begin my international business class. :)

Where is Heaven? Is it Far Away?

I'd like to think it is in my own back yard! Just thought I'd share this pretty picture I took on the road the other day. Enjoy!

I'm a salad shooter!

... Also known as a vegetarian. I decided to change my diet after a few months of being ill. My stomach feels GREAT! I have more energy, and I even sleep better. I know, I know. You may all think I'm a bit crazy for making such a huge change, but I must admit I have not felt this healthy in years.

Playing Dress-Up

I have a super-dee-duper-long string of black beads that I just love to wear. I have to double up the necklace to get it to rest somewhere above my knees. Each time I hang the ebony beads around my neck I am transformed from a bill-paying, hard-working, full-time student into a mom's-heels-wearing, twirly-dancing, barbie-toting little girl.

KA by Cirque du Soleil: The Best Gift Ever

My sweetheart surprised me with tickets to KA ... a Cirque du Soleil show ... for our anniversary. He knew that I've been dying to go to a Cirque du Soleil show since I was a child. The show was simply amazing! I ooh-ed and aaah-ed the whole time. The acrobats in the show are blessed with such unique talents. If you ever get a chance to see a Cirque du Soleil show, please do. You certainly won't regret it.

Wonderful World

As of late, I have really enjoyed taking pictures of the fabulous area in which my husband and I live. We are truly blessed to live in such a beautiful place! The sunsets here are phenomenal. My poor husband has to put up with me click-clicking every time I see a cloud ... or a pretty wild flower ... or a cool bug.

School Daze

I am now attending the University of Phoenix. I must admit that the combination of work and school has proved challenging at times, but I have to say that I've never been happier. I love to learn. I am very lucky to have a such a supportive husband. I have been blessed with enough time and energy to manage a 4.0 GPA ... a feat I am quite proud of.

I will graduate with my first degree (Associates in Business) in November. I very much look forward to finally getting a degree. After graduation, I will head straight into my Bachelor's program (Hospitality Management). I also plan to earn a Master's Degree.

The Fourth of July!!!

I love, love Independence Day. This year's celebration was nothing short of spectacular. Jen and Stew were nice enough to let us view the fireworks from their front porch ... about 10 yards away from the fireworks launch pad. Enjoy the video!
