Memorial Weekend 2009

Jason & I have had a busy weekend filled with some fun & a lot of chores. On Saturday, we went to see the Tigers play the Rockies (unfortunately, they lost 3-4) and then stopped by Mary & Brian's going away party after the game. A nice man behind us offered to take a picture of us at the game. It's not the best pic, but we rarely get photos of us together.... so here it is :-)


On Sunday we got busy cleaning the house .... we have a lot of visitors coming over the next two weeks, so we wanted to get everything looking nice for their arrival. On Monday, we had lunch at Cracker Barrel, then stopped by a local green house and purchased some flowers for our deck. We spent the evening planting the flowers & sanding 2 rocking chairs and a table (and took a short break to grill some delicious kabobs!). Here are a few pics:

Anyone that knows me is aware of my love for calla lilies ... let's hope I don't kill them! :-)

Even have the flag ready for my Graduation Luau!!!

It's official - my MBA program is OVER!

I have OFFICIALLY finished my MBA program ..... I just logged on and saw my final grades for my last class. After countless hours of research, writing and revisions, I received a "97" on my final project, and an A in the class! Graduation is scheduled for Friday June 5th & the party will be the day after, Saturday June 6th. I am really looking forward to celebrating this accomplishment with Jason, my family and friends - the only thing that could make it better would be for everyone I care about to be here with me!

I'll keep everyone updated and be sure to post some pictures of the graduation ceremony & the party. For now, it feels GREAT to have NO MORE HOMEWORK .... the song "School's Out" is ringing in my ears! :-)

A quick update....

Things have been quite busy for us lately, which is why I have not updated the blog in a while. Jason is still working all of the time, plus he is taking a "Human Geography" class through Hawaii Pacific online. I am finishing up my LAST MBA class & am teaching 4 classes at the local college ( 3 math, 1 reading).

Once school ends for me next week (May 13th) I will be a lot better about posting updates. But for now, it's back to my homework! :-)

Hope everyone is doing well, we miss & love you all!
