Time

I can hardly believe this week is midterms already! My last semester of college is halfway over! I guess I should be a little sad, but I'm not. I can't wait for the semester to be over, to walk across the Benson stage, finish loading the moving truck and be on my way back to the glorious state of Ohio. I have six boxes packed already! :) We have our moving truck completely paid for, thanks to my wonderful aunt who is paying half! We have a deposit down on our new apartment in Ohio and are on the waiting list - hoping one opens up in late November! All of my wonderful family will be here in just a little over two months - my mom, dad and brother, aunt, uncle and cousin, grandma, grandpa, and my amazing in-laws will all be here! I'm really looking forward to it!

I guess this has all become more of a reality since I was just measured for my cap and gown and I have my graduation announcements sitting on the kitchen counter. Its not that I haven't enjoyed college because, for the most part, I have (except for most of my freshman year). What it boils down to is that I am SO ready to be back in the state I love, close to the family I love. I'm ready to start the next chapter of my life... one that doesn't involve studying for tests and working on projects the night before they're due (oops!). As a side note, I must say that my husband is amazing... he is sacrificing a night of relaxation after a long day at work to help me work on my project that's due tomorrow. He's so wonderful (and super creative)!

The only thing I feel I'm lacking right now is friends. Life is so busy that Derek and I haven't had time to spend with people we care about it and it makes us sad, especially considering that we may not see them for a long time after the semester ends. Sigh.

Well, I guess I should get back to that project now...
