Spring Break







Spring Break is here! Courtney has been on break all week and I have been so busy studying for finals and wrapping up cookie sales that we haven't had a whole lot of time together. We are hoping to curl up with some popcorn and watch the Kid's Choice Awards on Nickelodeon tonight.
I put a few pictures from the school dance (Horizon Hula) that we went to a few weeks ago. Both of the kids had a good time running around with their friends.

Courtney's birthday went well. She is officially in the double digits. 10!!! Grandma and Grandpa Pfahler came down to watch her choir concert and then we headed to Olive Garden for lunch. (Courtney's absolute favorite) Later that evening, her friends came over for a night of singing, fun, and Nintendo DS. They pulled an all nighter and I felt kinda bad sending so many little girls off with bags under their eyes. Half of the girls ended up sick with some kind of virus that week. A lot of them went home from the party with fevers and headaches. Courtney ended up with the virus in the middle of the week along with a good percentage of her class. JOY!

Finals went ok. I got B's on my pharmacology and psychology finals and I failed med surg. Apparently the whole class failed. Out of 60 people, only 3 passed the final. Hopefully the professor will go back in and adjust the grades because he pulled this same stunt on our first test, the class went nuts and grades were adjusted. There has to be a problem with the exam if 95% of the class fails. There are many straight A students in our class and they failed as well. This professor is new and has had several issues throughout the term. He is used to teaching RN classes, and we are still new to the LPN course work, so he needs to understand that we are new to this. Ugh! I am not going to worry, I am passing all my classes and that is all that matters.

Cookies are over and done! Praise the Lord! I am so sick of looking at, counting, and dealing with cookies! I am glad that I don't like the cookies. I only had about 3 cookies this year, the Dulce de Leche are delicious) My troop sold an amazing 3,273 boxes of cookies this year. We are going to be able to go on some fun outings and still go into next year with some extra money in the account.

Today was fun and relaxing. Our GS Troop went to a yoga studio to work on our Stress Less patch. It was so cute to see some of my girls in their yoga poses. It was definitely a unique and interesting experience, but not something that I see myself doing on a regular basis. I am so bony that any time we had to be on our knees or our elbows, I hurt. I either need a thicker mat or no yoga for me. I did learn a few things to help me relax and reduce my stress levels if I ever feel stressed, which would be NEVER. :o) After yoga, Courtney and I met up with Andy, Aidan, Andy's mom (Sandy), Andy's sister (Amy) and her boys to go see Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D. We really enjoyed it. I don't care for wearing the big glasses and they give me a headache, but the movie was very cute. Now... I get to finally kick back and read a book for fun. No textbooks for a week!
