Here's my life

Ugh. SO far behind at catching up on here.  Time to resort to bullet-style to keep thoughts straight.

• Rockhurst had three (3!!!) snow days. Which contributed much to the festive feeling that comes right before spring break, but also produced a lot of cabin fever.  On these snow days I: did homework...a lot of homework; shoveled out my car one day for a total of five hours (at one point I had 8 guys helping, some sitting on the hood of my car to give it traction others using a cardboard pizza box to guide it off the ice.  Oy vey...); had snowcones and snow ice cream; and built a snow replica of the bell tower on campus.  

Snow Bell Tower!

So much snoooooow.

• And then there was spring break!  Matt and I traveled to Denver for a few days to visit his wonderful sister and her family (if you're reading this, thank you again!).  After we were back in Wichita my mom and I made homemade cinnamon rolls (the last time my mom attempted homemade bread was in high school, and it turned out the consistency of a brick, so we were a little nervous of this experiment, but they were fabulous!), was slaughtered at played Monopoly with Matt, went to a fishfry, and bummed around the house.  Perfect.

A pic that my mom took of a tree back home. Purdy.

Mmm. The icing was coffee flavored to boot. So INCREDIBLY delicious.  We made the rounds around our neighborhood sharing some of them afterwards.

• I am discerning a couple of job opportunities and still waiting for my last two grad schools to contact me.  Anybody out there know if it would be appropriate to contact a grad school to see if/when they send out letters?  I just would like some certainty, even if it's a no answer.  It's been two months since both the deadlines.
• Came back from break early to work.  I only have 3 work days left at the Little Sisters.  Pretty surreal.  I will miss them, they're wonderful employers, but I'm ready for what lies beyond.
• This next weekend I'll be heading back home to give a talk at the high school girls' retreat at my parish.  Please pray that I can speak what the Holy Spirit is wanting to say and that He also opens the hearts of these young women.
• The first weekend in April I'll be singing for a cousin's wedding!  I've had so many different parts in weddings now: pianist, lector, bridesmaid, and now cantor.  What's next?!
• The car is still in the shop.  No news there.  We're starting to get into the market for a different used car for me. Letting my dad take care of this...my only request is carpeted seats.  I just can't handle leather.
