its good to be home

after a week away, its good to be home. i had fun with balto, but being in a big house by yourself with just a dog and two cats is a bit lonely! plus balto is not much of a snuggler like remington; he's more of a licker. as in, loves licking my lotion off of me. i don't enjoy that!
my truck is fixed; turns out it was just my back shackle that was broken, not the spring, ect. it only cost $30 to have it fixed, yay! so the truck continues; lets hope it makes it until i'm done with nursing school!
ryan and i have been doing lots of plans & figuring out crafty ways to keep costs lowered. for example, we planned on doing simple invites/rsvp's; the kind you buy at the store and can print them on the computer. usually they are $30 for a box of 50 invites/rsvp with envelopes. i found a nice simple style at joann fabric clearanced out for $7.97 a box of 50; a HUGE savings! so i bought 5 boxes (all we will need), and that is taken care of. plus the style is nice and clean; no doves or rings or whatever in sight. :) and mom rouse said we can print them all on their computer, which is great!
Ryanbegan for training for a Urbanathlon (http://www.menshealthurbanathlon.com/) today, which is in Chicago this fall; anyone else interested in doing so check it out! it has running and strength training. i'm excited for it, and i may train for it too.... i just don't need as much time to "get into shape." but i am glad he is doing it & it gives him a goal to work on!
i'm knee-deep in patho & micro this semester. i am really enjoying patho; learning about all the diseases and whatnot is really interesting! micro, not so much. plus i don't enjoy using microscopes. good thing baker is on terms & i only have 8 more weeks to go! :)
