The past month!

See, I told you. Me+blogging=FAIL. But I'm back. And I'm pretty sure I know my problem. I've got to streamline my picture taking and uploading process. I've also got to learn how to not depend on Nick to take the pictures. (We got a fancy new Nikon for Christmas and I haven't taken the time yet to learn how to use it). So, since I wrote last, LOTS has happened. I've written about ten papers, taken a new job, had some extended family turmoil, survived tornadoes, you know, normal stuff :) One of the best things is that I finished the spring semester (you know, the semester when I had a BABY?!) and even though I'm taking two (easy) classes this summer, I am OUT of school for a month! Yippee!! I've been mulling over some summer goals in my head and here is what I've come up with so far...

1) learn how to use the Nikon (read the manual and practice)

2) start choosing music for my very first choir! (more on that later)

3) work on Nash's baby book

4) work off some more baby weight (so far it's coming off without much work, but the last ten pounds is probably gonna be toughest!)

5) blogging at least once a week

And I'm looking forward to these things... but here are some other things I'm REALLY looking forward to!

*U2, Nashville, 7-7-11 AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaah!!! So fun, can't wait.

*the beach! I don't know when but I want to go...we only live about 4 hours from the beach and I haven't been to an AL beach since I've lived here. 5 YEARS!! I've lived here for 5 YEARS! this is ridiculous, really.

*lots of trips to SnoBiz. one of our favorite summer dessert dates.

This weekend Nash and I are flying up to spend Mother's Day/Derby weekend in KY! Nash's first plane ride. I'm nervous. Dear Lord, please keep us safe and keep Nash from crying the whole time! I don't want him to be "that" baby on the airplane annoying everyone. But if he is, what can ya do? Have some grace, people! ughhh...see, I'm already freaking out ;) Til next time ya'll.

(heaven help, I typed "ya'll"....I HAVE lived in AL for 5 years!! I never used to say ya'll! ugghhh)

I'll leave you with a little video I captured this month!
