looking.up.randomly



things are definitely starting to look up. and this is just a list of random events. my apologies.

i took the science praxis this morning. i hate how standardized tests can make a person want to THROW up all over herself. 90 multiple choice questions. 3 essay questions. 120 minutes. earth science. physics. chem. biology. on your mark get set go. i know every.single question i got wrong because i googled them ALL when i got home. (i hate physics!!!) i just got this wild hair and wanted to do it. it was scary and expensive and now let's just pray i passed it so i don't have to do it all over again! lol.

jd and the boys went with me. we left at 5am!!! i can't even remember the last time i was up that early (well, up that early and outside). jd and i chitted and chatted the entire way, what with all my nervous energy and all. poor guy had to listen to me explain how hydraulics and meiosis work the whole way up. lol.

i felt like i was 20 again, hopping out of his truck with my two No.2 pencils heading for badgley hall. i threw up on my first day of animal behavior in badgley hall. i ate an ice cream cone for lunch and totally ralphed after roll call. it was SO embarassing. i dropped the class ;)

anyway, it's over. sigh. now i wait.

we stopped at the grande rhonde to let the boys throw rocks into the river on the way home and gage TOTALLY fell in!!! he tossed a doosy of a rock, lost his balance, and was soaked from the neck down. he landed on a rock and scraped his neck too- poor baby. has to happen at least once. thankfully though, jd was right there to nab him up :) (and the water was only, like, a foot or so deep).

it was neat checking out our old house in lagrande - and passing by all our old hang-outs. gosh, we sure felt old. jd even grabbed a real estate guide! he must miss lagrande :)

i'm just glad the whole testing bit is over.

can i get a "yee haw" for testing day being over???

YEE-HAW!!!!!!

Yee Haw!!! So, so glad you got to spend some time in a favorite place (even if it was for a test !!!) I LOVE LaGrande too..there's just something about spending those "after your parents home" years there....and for me..of course, meeting the man of my dreams! I just told Pat as we pulled into LaGrande again last night..that it was one of the BEST parts of my life : D Hope you have a GREAT Sunday...and no worries about the test...I'll be praying about it :D Sweet blessings!

Another YeeHaww here!!! I do miss LG sometimes... what wonderful (and some not so good)memories.

Nells was still there when I was there in March. I wanted to go there so bad, but I HAD to go to the Sub Shop of course.
