Alive

Say goodbye to yet another semester. Monday, April 28, I took my last final. After finishing that last test I realized I need to develop a "finals are over" tradition. I know Ty and his friends watched a movie following each semester, other friends go out to lunch, or golfing, or some other such fun event. I need to get on the ball and figure that out.

But, in the meantime, I'm just glad to be done. I spent Tuesday, all of Tuesday mind you, with Kristin and Patten. We visited my family's Millcreek cabin (only looked at it though due to snow), ate 3 (count 'em) meals together, and Patten and I changed the headlight on Maxi (our Nissan Maxima). He played more of a minor role in the actual light change but I greatly appreciated his moral support.

I hope other folks get to experience this feeling of freedom. I've decided semesters exist simply so they can be finished.

We are excited to visit Ty and Becca in Philly next week, followed by the start of my new job and a summer full of no school (other than counter-terrorism research for my professor). Should be a good few months.

Um, excuse me. But Dan never told me you guys were bloggers. Rude. I had to come across this all by myself and let me tell you, it takes an awful lot of blog stalking before you come across something of this caliber. So, anyway. Well done. That kid is adorable. I'm still ticked at Dan that we haven't seen Patten in person yet (somehow I'm sure it's Dan's fault. Let's blame him. Its easier).

And um, Becca that you are going to visit (I'm assuming she's your sister in law). Well apparently she knows ALL of my cousins and has links to their blogs. So she has really good taste in people. And your sister in law knowing my cousins must make us related in some capacity. Dave...are you my blogging uncle now? Sweet!

Congratulations on making it through another semester! How fun to go back to Philly!

Becca said...

yay! I don't know who megan's cousins are, but I'm glad that I'm cool. :)

NEXT WEEK! I am so Patten-hungry I could die. We are so excited to see you guys :)

so what?...our golfing wasn't fun enough to make a tradition, or even mention? i am personally offended.

Dave said...

Scott - forgive me. Although, I fear, the damage is already done. With your permission, our 6:30 Kristin Invitational will live on and become our finals tradition. Deal or no deal?

sounds good to me!

Davey -

So good to see you yesterday, albeit the circumstances! Have so much fun in Philly. I think you are on your way now...or maybe there already.

Anyway, I love love love you guys, get a water ice for me okay?
