It's time to brag or as we Relief Society sisters call it-- Good News Minute.
-Joseph was a #1 collector last month! I am so proud of him! We are looking forward to that fat bonus check on the 20th.
-I was nervous to take my BusLaw test because everyone said how hard it was and I'm having a hard time taking a real interest in that class. It was a torturous test but after only 75 minutes I came out with a 86.7% I only missed 4 questions! Yay! That's pretty good when the class averages are between 70-75%

-We have had an extremely long week! Joseph has taken 3 tests and written a paper while I had a test and presentation followed by 2 more tests next week. (I bet all you brothers and sisters are so glad you are done with school as you are reading this.) But we only have 4 more weeks until Fall Break! Until then, "Carry On! Carry On! Carry On!"

We FINALLY finished the last portion to the epic tale of Harry Potter. I was really happy to finish the book so I could read my textbooks instead but I am sad that it is over. :( Joseph and I agreed that we liked the ending. I did however go to Wikipedia

Mint Brownie, YUM!

I was excited to get our new bedspread (Jen got us a smoking deal) but obviously forgot exactly what it looked like. I thought it was going to be all brown, cream, and mint green. But when I got the package, the only mint green thing was an accent pillow. This past week I found some mint green sheets on sale and they complete the bed! I am so excited about how cute they are that I'm posting these pictures!

"We're going back, back, back to school!" -Grease 2

Joseph and I have made it through 2 full weeks of school. It has made our days long when we sit through 2 hour-long classes until 8 p.m. Joseph was worried about going back to school with such a long break but he has been doing really, really well. He is taking an English, Math, Health and Geology. I really like my classes and love that they relate to what I'm interested in. I am taking Business Communications, Business Law, Personal Finance, and the Business Marketing Education Intro class. My Business Law class should be the only difficult one because of my shallow knowledge of the government and court system but I guess that's why I'm in the class!
