we just got back from Fargo and we had a wonderful time! we didn't shop all that much (shocking i know!) but i did score some shirts, a sweater, lots of bath and body works stuff, and darcy picked up lots of shirts, and a pair of shoes. other than that, we relaxed a lot. it was so nice to get away and focus on 'us' again. the weather was crazy nice (5 degrees celsius today) but it was so super windy on the way home. there were a few cars, and semi in the ditch and a bad tuck/ camper trailer accident on the way home due to the windy conditions. thankfully we had a safe drive home. just some pics of our getaway....

it was no c'mon inn, but still very nice.
it felt clean but still had the old gross

we got a 'spa package' with our room

I AM FREE!!!!!!

exams are done! i can't believe it! that was the longest two weeks of my life, and now, i can sit back, relax (sort of, there's a lot on my 'to do' list) and not open my books for a whole glorious week and a half. that feels nice! since i am pretty booked this week i started my baking spree yesterday. i made chocolate chip cookies, and today i am making a double recipe of ginger snaps and a frozen mocha cheesecake! i also decided i want to take on the task of baking break. we l-o-v-e Stella's fresh baked multi-grain bread, so i decided i am going to make my own bread! it can't be that hard can it? now all i need is a good multi-grain bread recipe, so if you have one let me know! i can't seem to find my camera cord to upload pictures of the first cookie baking experience...so this will have to do. i never knew what all the hype was about with having a kitchen aid, but now that we have one, i finally understand!

fontanels....

now that i have everyone's attention on such an interesting subject....
just thought i'd give a quick update about exam. they are going really well, i am half done now which is so exciting. thursday after noon at 2.00 i will be done! my week off is already filling up fast, but i am glad i won't be stuck at home and board everyday! darcy and i booked a few nights away in fargo in a jacuzzi suite at Americinn - i know that it's no Comon inn but i am still super excited to get away and have some much needed 'us' time! (sorry that this post was dull, it was mostly for am!)

school....

these next three weeks are going to be tough for me (and darcy for that matter!) i have exams coming up the next 2 weeks...so if you think about me in that time you can send up a prayer for me! my exams are the 12th, 15th, and 16th of next week and then the 19th, 21st and 22nd of the following week. i can't believe i am going to be 1/4 done after the 22nd. school has flown by so far, and hopefully continues to do so. i look forward to being done and starting to work, so i know this is what i want to do....it's just so tough to get there. i hear this next semester is easier, so hopfully there will be less tears shed and i can feel at least half sane again!
