...it's been awhile

... So, I haven't been great at keeping up my blogging. I have been busy getting ready for the credential program, and finishing my intersession course. So here is what has been going on...

First.

Mady got spayed on Thursday. I felt really bad for her because it is a pretty invasive procedure. They say that being spayed is much worse than being neutered. I must admit though, it was pretty hilarious seeing her all drugged up. She looked so funny because she was floppy and her tongue kept sticking out.

Second.

I found out that I made the Deans List at school. I was so excited when I found out. I never really knew the requirements, but when I was studying on Thursday a friends saw my grades on the screen (because our school homepages shows your grades when you pull it up) and told me she thought that my grades looked good and that I "probably made the Deans List." Sure enough, we calculated my grade and I DID! So apparently, according to her, I will get a certificate and a chord to wear at graduation. (She said she knew because she got the same award last semester) COOL! ...I made sure to confirm it... She was right!

Third. (and my personal highlight)

For those of you who don't know, David started a new job in October. Right before then, he started studying for an Actuarial test that consisted of an EXTREMELY hard curriculum. It took him three months of intense studying that took up a lot of his nights, and consisted of reading two mathematical textbooks (yuck!). He took the test in the beginning of November and had to wait until Friday to find out... HE PASSED!!!! I am so proud of him. He really worked hard, and he really was worried because he said it was a tough test.

Fourth. (and last)

David and I have been working diligently to find a new place to live. We finally made a break through. We are most likely moving to Irvine, California. It is about 45 minutes from where we live now. David is SUPER excited, especially because we will only be about 10-15 min away from the beach. It's a very nice city (probably nicer than where we are now) and we get to pay less...so that's a plus.

Here are some pictures of the city. We learned this weekend that it is a master planned city. It is BEAUTIFUL! David was even commenting of how beautiful the sidewalks were (haha)!
