Together at last- but only for the Weekend
Matthew & I were finally able to see each other and spend the weekend together, meeting up in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It had only been a little over a month since he had left but it felt like an eternity since we'd seen each other last. The weekend flew by all too quickly and I had to watch the love of my life drive off in the opposite direction once again. But...I cried much less this time- so that's good, right? Only a few tears trickled down my face and I've been doing okay since.
And although I talk about the sadness of leaving again I am so very thankful for the time we did get to be together. We stayed at the Chattanooga Choo Choo. We visited the Tennessee Aquarium, Friday- the first day we were there and spent Saturday during the day driving around and sight seeing, then went to dinner and a music show that evening. Sunday came and Matthew stuffed his bag with some of the Easter goodies I brought us for our first Easter together away from home, we had a quick lunch at Wendy's, and then headed off- him to Georgia and me to Ohio.

Ten Weeks & Im Done!!!
One last and final quarter to go of my graduate program-meaning 10 weeks and then it's graduation time and I'm finished!! :) Masters of Social Work here I come!! The quarter started March 30th- so at this point...1 week down...9 weeks to go!! I haven't broken it down into days yet but I'm sure I will get to that point soon.
I'm on the home stretch and could only be more excited if it was June 14th (graduation day)- haha! I will send out an email to family and friends soon letting you all know when my evening of recognition is and the details of graduation day. Any and all are welcome to attend, but surely don't feel obligated.
Let's just hope for those that do decide to attend this year that it's not quite as hot and miserable as last year's 90 degrees and the sunshine beating down heavily on everyone!! A big thank you to my family for braving that one :) And a thank you for those of you that attending my evening of recognition the first time around :) Lots of love to you all!!

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice...
...that's what my little nieces are made of. Matthew and I found out about a week or so ago that we will be the proud Aunt and Uncle of a little niece on each side of our family. His brother and sister in-law were excited to share their news of a little girl- due end of July/beginning of August. I guess that means Aunt Tara will have to start buying double of everything and stocking up on packaging to send lots of gifts to the little ones!
Home Again Home Again
Well the movers came and packed up most of our belongings- all of what we do not need (hopefully) between now and September. The rest came home (to my parent's house) with me. I will be living at home part time- Thursday night through Tuesday morning and staying with friends in Columbus Tuesday night through Thursday morning for the next 10 weeks. Then once I graduate in June I will be staying at home full time until moving to Colorado with my soon-to-be husband in September.
I have set up my schedule so that I only have to be in Columbus 3 days a week, minimizing my stay on assorted couches to only two nights a week- sometimes and hopefully at the most, three nights. I will have to leave at 6am on Tuesdays to make it in time for my 10-12 hour work day, will work another 10-12 hour day on Wednesday and then will attend all my remaining classes on Thursday- working in between- finishing with my last class of the week at 8:48pm on Thursday night and will then head home. It will be hectic and keep me busy but that's probably a good thing. Will help the months without Matthew pass by a little quicker.
In the meantime I will just be concentrating on finishing up grad school, spending time with family and friends, and working on wedding details. Not to mention all the moving around that's going on in the house- my room became Heather's, I took hers, Mom's office will be re-done to serve as Jessa's nursery, etc. I will also need to begin preparing (mentally) to move 24 hours away, I'll be looking for jobs- probably here (part-time) and there (full-time), and then doing whatever else comes up.
