Where did summer go?!

So here is what happens to your front yard while you are in Graduate school. Kind of ironic that I am going for landscape architecture and my landscaping looks like this! If you look real close to just right of center of the picture you might see Goofy's head trying to pop out from behind the weeds. I am shocked that we have not received any nasty letters from neighbors of the home owner's association regarding our lack of flower bed maintenance. I guess it is all green and maybe hard to tell that is has all gone to weeds, choking out all evidence of my hard work planning and planting flowers in past years.

Shawn and I survived my two months of summer session hell, he had to take on a second job to support his now non-working, broke college student of a wife. Right now I have a weeks vacation between my summer classes and my first fall semester. I was surprised and honored to receive a $1,000 Zuckerman Family Scholarship, it is awarded to students by faculty member(s), there is not application process. Awesome! I am hoping to land a Graduate Assistant job that will actually waive my tuition AND give me a stipend! Interview is Thursday, fingers crossed! Today was Shawn's fist day back to school, he has a week of nonsense in-service days and meetings before the students arrive in a week. Summer is gone........bummer.

Hopefully I will be able to updare more now that I am headed into a "normal" school semester!!
