What. A. Week.

What a busy, busy week...

Sunday:
Went to one of my high school best friends farewell. Jess Boy (as we call her) is heading off to St. Petersburg, Russia to serve the Lord for 18 months!! I am so excited for her! She's going to be an amazing missionary!

Monday:
Took two of three finals with free lunch in between at work. Monday night was consumed by hours upon hours of studying for my stats examine the next day.

Tuesday:
Work and last final - Psychological statistics, which I aced :) Fall Semester officially over!! (only one more to go!!). Hung out with my high school girls one last time before Jess leaves. Texas Roadhouse for dinner... which unfortunately resulted in me spending at least an hour kneeling at the toilet base... haven't been that close to puking in years!

(I stole this from Melissa, but we are missing Julane here...)

Wednesday:
First official day of freedom! Slept in, car shopped a little, and applied for my first credit card!

Thursday:
Went to work for an hour, then off to the dentist to fill the last of my cavities.... I know dentists are great and all, but I sure do hate going. Rest of the day was spent writing wedding thank you cards, and watching psych with a numb/sore face.

Friday:
Back to the dentist... this time to get my last two wisdom teeth out. Luckily they practically fell out of my mouth! It was a lot less traumatic experience then getting cavities filled ha. And now here I am. However the fun doesn't stop there... tonight we're heading down to Woods Cross to help my mom baby sit my two nieces this weekend! Then tomorrow night we're going to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir thing with Jeff's sister and husband, and then Sunday we've got our family Christmas party!

It's been so nice to not have school and homework! It's weird though to go from being super busy to bored. I sure am excited to have this three week long break though! And a bonus that it's Christmas time :)

Also, more good news... I am not for certain, but I'm feeling a 4.0 coming on!!! Ah yeah! My first of my college career :) Well, let's hope.

The End is Near... Oh So Near.

Last. Week. Of. This. Semester....!!! YAY! I can hardly control my excitement! Nearly one semester down, only ONE more to go! I can't believe that I am near the end of my school career... I have always been in school.... it is going to be very, very weird to not have it anymore.

The more it begins to sink in, the more excited I get, but also the more I realize how much I'm going to miss school... and my campus job, and the people I work with :( This Fall semester has been my busiest for sure, however it hasn't been crazy because I've been so on top of everything lately. I've kicked procrastination out the window, which I accredit to being married :)

It's weird though because literally my life has been go to school in the morning (go to classes and work in between), come home around 4/4:30, eat a snack, do homework for hours, make dinner, clean up after dinner, maybe some more homework, then bed. So this week has been weird since my semester is winding down, I haven't really had hours of homework to do (hence the reason I am blogging right now :).... which has resulted in boredom and a lot of wasted time ha ha. It's funny how that works - I am very productive when I have tons to do, but when I have nothing to do productivity is gone.

Thanksgiving Break!

It was a Wegner Thanksgiving this year so we flew out to Colorado Springs to Jeff's sister's house, and then his mom, dad, and sister met us out there. It was such a nice break from school and life, and my sis-in-law's adorable little Brielle kept us highly entertained.

Ya know, one thing I love about being married is that now I not only have one awesome family, but TWO! And since it was the time of Thanksgiving I was (and have been) feeling very grateful for both families.

Anyway, our little vacation was mostly relaxing, and very much full of TONS of delicious food. Other than some good old Black Friday shopping and Turkey dinner, we went to the Garden of the Gods.


Had some cool rock formations


We flew in Saturday early evening and finished off our break at my parents house. We were lucky enough to see all of my family as well when we went down to Mapleton to see Mike and Maridee's new baby Luke!


Taya just cracks me up... and she is the cutest big sister out there. "Baby Lukey" or "Baby Brudder" is what she calls him.

It was fun to watch her interact with him. Whenever he would cry, she would say "Baby Lukey needs me."

Mmmm... someday :)
