Back to School!

It was my first week back to school....I was initially quite excited. Maybe I should rephrase -- who loves to study (not me!) -- I was ready to get the show on the road though. The sooner the semester started, the closer I would be to my degree. I've only attended two classes since school started on Tues, 20 Jan and one of my classes is a Monday only class....I'll find out all the fun stuff on that one on Monday.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a Calculus (II) for Business Class and an Understanding Music class as well. I knew in advance that the Calc class was going to require a LOT of my attention. By no means am I an idiot in Math, I got As in both Algebra and Calc I, but I also know that I don't have a photographic memory and it requires lots of studying. Okay, I can live with that! After chatting with a friend who also got her degree from OU, I was looking forward to the ease of my Understanding Music class. It was an elective so I figured "How hard can it be?" Okay....well maybe you should scope out the professor before you sign up for the class. My professor is a PhD student and since she has to do tons of work for her dissertation, she thinks us undergrads need to do it too. Seriously, I have to attend 3 classical concerts and write papers on them.....*sigh*....I can't drop the class since it was the only one that fit into my schedule with work. I'll suck it up and do it but so much for the easy peasy class. I really shouldn't complain, it could be so much worse.....I could be working full time and a full time student....oh wait....never mind! LOL!

On a different note, wedding planning is coming along just fine. David and I were in a bit of a pickle about finding an officiant. We're getting married in MS, but don't know any pastors since neither of us are very religious and we don't live in MS. David's uncle has an old friend who is a retired minister who said he would be happy to do it! Yayy! We found our cake folks -- you can check her out here. We asked them to send samples and they sent us 3 six inch, two layer cakes in the flavors we selected! We just about died they were so good! I don't know that it was very diet friendly.....aaaah well....can't do it all right, can we? And we've found our musicians -- rather than hire a band/DJ -- we decided to go with a String Duet -- they will do all ceremony music and will be at the reception for 3 hours. We're happy....most things are wrapped up....we drive home on spring break to finalize items, menus, seating and get our engagement photos done. We'll post those on here (and send to family) since we opted to purchase the rights to the photos from our photographer. You can check our photographer here
We simply love her!
