Currently

I'm so terribly sorry little blog- I have ignored and abused thee. But here I am once more to report on the insanity that has been the past month or so.

Once again I bring you "Currently" with the Ottos

Eating- Since we are moving to MI for the summer we have ben eating anything and everything that is already in our tiny kitchen. This has led to some creative dinners. Black bean burgers (frozen) Veggie Mixes (Frozen) Assorted muffins (with Frozen berries) {I refuse to buy cereal is I can just keep making muffins...} Anyway, you get the idea. Frozen foods and canned goods to the rescue! Also we ate about a million cuppys and candies for Zoee Gail's birthday- heaven.

Loving-The fact that I have 5 MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL. Heavens people, the first year really is madness and I'm more than happy to leave it in the past after this week. It's fabulous don't get me wrong, but also terrifying, draining, stretching, maddening and all around rough. I'm also loving that I get my baby puppy in 7 days!!

side note- we've decided to name him Oliver :) Ollie for short!

Feeling- Relieved- Ben has FINALLY taken the MCAT! and though we won't know what he got for another month- it's over!! Halleluja I'm so proud of that man! The family predicts a 44 in his future and a ridiculously expensive medical school......Also relieved that school is almost over and that the dreaded Shakespeare Festival has finally ended.
Also feeling like a terrible person because a student's parent had to teach me a hard learned lesson this week that probably merits it's own blog post because it's so embarrassing. Like I said, rough.
Lastly- feeling a win. A student that I taught during my student teaching sent me a kind email and a graduation announcement! He said that my class had been one of the best and most fun learning experiences in his life. I about cried.


Wanting-School to end..oh have I said that already? We are wanting a lovely 2-3 bedroom apartment that is pet friendly to open up in Provo so we will have somewhere to live next Fall. Because as of now we are those cutey homeless people you see on the side of the road with a dog and a sign that says "will work for a room!"Lovely. I've also been wanting to see my baby sisters again and my baby nephew! Gosh dang is he cute!

Enjoying- The weather! It has been nice and cool and stormy these past couple days. And then gorgeous and sunny! We've taken advantage and gone on walks, went rock climbing up the canyon and I have personally been enjoying popping a monster horse pill for my allergies every day! Ben has been enjoying his MCAT studying and working out everyday because that's ALL HE DOES folks. It's grand. I've been enjoying this marvelous show called "call the Midwife" on PBS and I'm completely obsessed. I may or may not be convinced that I should have lived in the 50's. Or the 30's for Downtown Abbey. I have a PBS/BBC problem.

adieu and bon ete!
