Lent & Other Random Things...

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever. This week has been super busy! It was Spring "Break". However, unlike undergrad. and pre-being married, there are a ton of things to do and to be accomplished  during this week long "break".

This past week I had a friend visit for several days. We went shopping, got coffee, and caught up on life. Then Tuesday I drove to my parents house for 2 days. I wanted to visit my grandparents, my parents, and of course Kolby Jack.

Who wouldn't want to see this handsome little  fellow

Then today was the READING PRAXIS (sound creepy horror tune)

It was AWFUL. I don't even know if awful describes how bad it was. Honestly, everything on that test I basically have not learned. I am not normally one to complain but this test is something that is definitely worth complaining about!!!! If I read one more question about which is the best answer meaning they are all mostly all correct. So is it the best answer in my opinion or of the evil test writers?!? I'm sure hoping I pass so I don't have to take that awful thing again.



On another note... this week marked the beginning of lent. While I'm not Catholic, I wanted to give up something. I thought about candy and quickly changed my mind as I envisioned sitting in 3 hour classes bored out of my mind without it. So I continued thinking, and you may think I am crazy, you know what I decided to give up.......

the grocery store 

I know, sounds quite random, and maybe even a little odd. But honestly, I am curious to see how much money we will save without a trip to the grocery store for 40 days. (And we have enough food to last WAYYY longer). Of course if Brent needs milk, Riteaid and CVS carry it so the poor boy won't be deprived! I promise :) I figure it is one way to save money and another to force us to start eating from our over stocked cabinets. (Our house is like the grocery store!!)

So to my local Giant Grocery store, see you after Easter!
