Hi Bunnies!!!!
Just wanted to pop in and say hi! So many lovely things happening right now in my life. Tonight I took my final exam in Spanish...it was an oral exam! My instructor was VERY generous and gave me a B+!!! This class was very tough...probably tougher than any other class I've taken. I was thinking I should write an essay about it because it has been a very interesting experience for me. I learned a few things about myself and gained some awareness about short term vs. long term memory. Oh and I'm TOTALLY thinking of buying the Rosetta Stone for Spanish! Has anyone had any experience with that?
Okay...so having said all of this, I've decided that I'm going to enroll in Spanish again next term. Several weeks ago I was feeling like I wanted to take a break but then all of a sudden, I had a break through and things are sticking a little better in my brain. Maybe I grew some more neurons or something. :-)
And now that I can stop thinking about school for a week or so, I can get on with a few other fun things in my life!
This past Tuesday, March 17 (St. Patrick's Day) was my 25th Wedding Anniversary. Twenty-five friggin' years! I'm still amazed at the longevity of my marriage...and it's still a good one! That's the part that gets me. Our first year or so was pretty rough but once we got through that, it's been smooth sailing. I think a big part of our success is that Glen and I both have hobbies we are super passionate about. We do lots of things together but we each have our own thing and we do lots of things apart. This way, when we are together, we have lots to share and lots to talk about. This works for us.
Also, Glen did a lot of traveling for several years and I feel like that did two things...1) it forced me to become a very strong, self-reliant, and independent woman and 2) it made me never, ever take him for granted and appreciate everything he does for me, our family, our house, and our life! He's a pretty special guy. :-)
So with that, I'll leave you with a song that Glen and I sang to each other on our day...just a couple of romantic kids, we are...
I'll be away for a few days. Since this week was busy with school, life and what not, Glen and I are just now getting away for a little romantic getaway. Hopefully when I return, I'll be rested and ready to take on the next semester of my life!
Very sweet, funny, and super sweet Michelle...this was a wonderful, inspiring blog. Happy 25th, hunnies.
