Welcome Winter!

This is what we woke up to this morning:



I am sooooooo not ready for snow. And winter. And chilly walks to work.



But I am looking forward to:
*chocolate mint hot cocoa
*birthday shopping trip to Park City with my hubby
*wearing my scarves
*crocheting Mark a grey scarf
*my little sister's wedding in less than 2 months
*the end of this nightmare of a semester
*my last semester of school (Business Italian, First-year Spanish, and Cooking)
*April 22, 2011-the day when Mark and I get to don caps and gowns and graduate from BYU

Senioritis

Now that both Mark and I have received e-mails from BYU saying that our graduation applications have been accepted we both have senioritis. Badly. While Mark's case of senioritis may not be as crippling as mine, here's an example of my to-do list for school:
*write introduction to an 11-12 page paper for English
*read 7 chapters for Italian Lit class and answer study guide questions
*study for and take a Finance exam
*read an entire book and another chapter from a text book for an Italian History class
*write the 2 page conclusion to an 8 page Italian paper
All of these things are definitely due by Thursday (or earlier) and I may or may not be procrastinating all of them.
On a much more cooler note, this may have been mentioned earlier, but Mark has the coolest major that they offer at BYU. He's studying Sound Recording Technology. Even though he's been taking classes for over a year now, today is the day when he finally gets studio time to "lay down some tracks" and do some live recording for some song clones that he's working on. This week he's working on "Come Together" by The Beatles, and next week he'll be working on "Love the Way You Lie" by Eminem and Rhianna. I'm so excited for him and even though he's super nervous, I know he'll do a great job! I even get to help him fade all the tracks in "Come Together" since he doesn't have enough fingers to do it all himself!
And did I mention that he's been in contact with Capitol Records in LA and might get to intern in one of their studios this summer? I know, I know. I'm jealous of his major too.

One day...

Madsen Cycles Cargo Bikes

This will be me, carting my children around in a Madsen cargo bike. But for now, I'm just dreaming of winning one! Click on the link and read about how you can win one too!

And I'm sorry for the obvious lack of posting. I am up to my eyeballs in research and annotated bibliographies for 3 different 10 page research papers. And midterms.

But as far as good news goes, we're hoping to catch the last of the fall foliage while it's at its peak...it'll be our last fall in Utah for a while, so this weekend is our last chance! Hopefully I'll be able to post some pics!
