Educated

This is me, wondering why Scott is taking a picture of me after he went and got the mail:
Until I saw this:

and celebrated by doing this:

and this:
and this:

“Our education must never stop. If it ends at the door of the classroom on graduation day, we will fail. And we will need the help of heaven to know which of the myriad things we could study we would most wisely learn. We cannot waste time entertaining ourselves when we have the chance to read or to listen to whatever will help us learn what is true and useful. Insatiable curiosity will be our hallmark.” Henry B. Erying

#4

Once upon a time there was a husband and wife. They loved each other a lot and trusted each other enough that the wife would cut the husbands hair. It started as a good way to save money and ended up the same way it started.

One day the wife sat her husband in a chair to cut his hair and after the first stroke of the razor said "whoops, that was a 4 not a 8". The husband lost all color in his face until she said "just kidding".... two minutes later she said the same thing but this time there was no "just kidding" but only a lonely "whoops".

Luckily, hair grows back and the husband works in a warehouse and still loves his wife.

Sorry Scott!

Under Water

Mothers Day Weekend, we went to Mall of America to see the underwater aquarium. We ended up going through it twice because it was so pricey, we felt like we should have to get out money worth and go through it a second time. The first time, it was REALLY crowded and Benson had just woken up from a nap so he had no idea what was going on. We went and walked around the mall for a little bit and then went through again. The second time was WAY better. There was hardly anyone there and so we got to take our time.

They had sharks, fish, jellyfish, and giant turtles! Scott's favorite part was the turtles and mine was all of it! Benson's favorite was the glass that held the sharks between him and them.

Swing, Swing, Swing

The weather here turned cold and after being stuck in the house all last week, Friday I couldn't take it anymore. we braved the cold weather and went to a park that had swings. It was Benson's first time in the swing and wasn't sure what to think at first. He clung on to dear life at first but then realized he was pretty safe. We had a lot of fun but I think I might of swung him a little too much because he threw up some cheerios at the end...lesson learned.

eye of the tiger

For some reason or another, this last weekend Scott and I decided to watch Rocky III. Neither one of us have ever seen the Rocky movies and so we thought we should educate ourselves. I know it was filmed in the 80s and I've never been a Sylvester Stallone fan, you could even say I avoided any of his movies at all costs but I LOVED this movie and I cried.

We have since watched Rocky and Rocky II. I think my favorite is Rocky III. I don't know what is about these movies but they are soo good! And for the last three days Scott and I have been singing 'Eye of the Tiger' through out the day.

so go and watch them. they are on netflix or amazon. its totally worth your time. Then you can start quoting Rocky too!

"Yo Adrienne, Adrienne!"

Graduation

Today is commencement for school. Obviously I'm not attending but I can't believe I'm done. It doesn't seem real at all. I am hoping that when I get my diploma in the mail it'll feel more real. I have to keep reminding myself - you don't have to go back to school EVER, unless you want to.

I almost feel like I have to split my diploma between me and my family. If it wasn't for their support, help and love, I would of quit a long time ago!

So here's to finally GRADUATING and pushy mothers that don't stop pushin till your done!

Happy Anniversary

Yesterday was me and Scott's three year anniversary. i can't believe that its been three years since we got married. We celebrated a few weeks ago right before left Salt Lake. Scott took me to the Roof, which was amazing. When I got to Minnesota, there was a surprise waiting for me as well. He had bought an image of the Salt Lake Temple that I have been eying for the last year! I was so excited!

I am very grateful for my marriage to Scott and the fulfillment it brings to my life. I have always loved this quote and it has always reminds me the important things in life.


“Let us not live a life … that would bring regret. … It is not going to matter very much how much money you made, what kind of a house you lived in, what kind of a car you drove, the size of your bank account—any of those things. What is going to matter is that dear woman who has walked with you side by side as your companion through all of the years of life and those children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren and their faithfulness and their looking to you … with respect and love and deference and kindness.” President Gordon B Hinckley.
