Nick's Birthday

We did a lot for Nick's birthday this year.  The week before his birthday we saw Spamalot at Emens Auditorium at Ball State University.  It was amazing!  We laughed so much.  Nick had heard the music before, but seeing it was so much better.  We loved Monty Python and The Holy Grail, so we knew this would be great.

We also ate at Olive Garden with Nick's parents and sister and her husband on his actually birthday (12/11).  This week, we are continuing the celebration by seeing Tron Legacy on Friday!

Happy Birthday Nick!

Coming to an End

College is almost over.  In fact, today is my last day of classes at BSU EVER!  I'm excited and scared and proud.  

Graduation is on Dec. 18!  I will be graduating with a degree in hospitality and food management with a minor in travel and tourism.  I picked up my cords and medal the other day too.  

My mom and step-dad sent me flowers to congratulate me on my Summa Cum Laude medal.  They are beautiful.

Christmas Decorations

We love Christmas, especially now that we are married.  I don't know why, but it seems to bring a new element to the holiday.  

On Dec. 1, we decorated our apartment.  We planned on decorating earlier, but I am really happy we waited because it snowed while we were putting up the tree.

Hiatus

It is been almost a month since my last post.  I feel bad for my avid followers (Thanks to Jordan and Katie).

The month of November is always crazy at school.  Over the past week alone I have turned in a rough draft for a 30 page thesis, a 5 page paper, read 3 books, a 7 page paper and an oral presentation.  On top of that, I am presenting at a Symposium tomorrow and have been working 10 hours a week.

So here is a recap of everything Nick and I have been doing in my time off of blogging.

 For Halloween, Nick and I went to the Muncie Symphony Orchestra performance in a mortuary.  Here is a picture of us before the concert.  Let's just say it was an interesting experience.

Nick and I also had an evening with Chaney and Tucker (Nick and now my cousins).  We have spent time with Chaney before, but this was our first go at tackling both the toddlers.  We started the evening making cupcakes.  They were allowed to dye the batter and put sprinkles on before and after baking.  Apparently sprinkles kind of explode in the oven, but they still loved them.

They also got to make their own pizzas with English muffins.  Chaney made pizzas with us last time we had her, and she loved it so much we decided to do it again.  For the record, Chaney LOVES black olives.

 Tucker loved his cupcake!
