OK, so I didn't update as soon as I thought I would.  Things are going well around here...Tally is finally sleeping through the night and we are getting closer on the housebreaking thing.  She rings the bell almost every time she needs to go out.  She still has accidents, but hey, who doesn't?  lol!  Unfortunately, I am gone for about five hours on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so I have to expect her to go during that time.  She used to use those puppy pads...until she realized that they were more fun to chew on than to pee on ;( !  

I love the new house and we are going to start doing things to it a little at a time.  I have paint colors picked out and I can't wait to paint!  I think this month we are going to plant a flower garden and work on the yard.  It is a lot of fun being a home owner!  I will put up a couple of pictures but they are older and things have changed a bit already. 

Over my spring break I went to visit my dad, my sisters, and my friend Alyssa who just lost her mother.  It was weird being back after 6 years but I enjoyed the time with them.  Hopefully, the girls will get to come down for a week during the summer and Alyssa may try to come at some point too!  I may put up a couple of those pictures too.  School is going well and I am getting ready to sign up for summer classes.  I really like all but one of my classes and I can't wait to graduate!  I am really thinking hard about grad school...thoughts?

Lukas still loves his job.  His half-marathon team is still training up and he is fund raising for team t-shirts now.  He is pretty sure that they are going to progress him here in the next couple of weeks and before we know it he will be doing maintenance test flights.  Been a while since he has flown so I know he is excited.  We also finally have a deployment date although those things always change.  Right now we are looking at August 2008.  I also just became a point of contact for his company's FRG group so getting involved a bit should be fun.  We will see!

So, I leave you with some pictures... 

So I've finally gone back to school...and the transition has been easier than I had imagined it would be.  It is strange sitting in a class room again.  But I am so glad to be busy and studying what I love.  Sitting at home all day alone until Lukas got home was getting old.  I am majoring in English and minoring in Political Science and all my classes this semester fall into one of those two subjects.  I have one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays and four on MWF.  I get home in plenty of time to do school work and keep up with the house.  The best part is that I am home when Lukas gets home everyday just as if I had been here all day.  I like being here when he gets here.  The school I go to is called Austin Peay State University...PEAY??!!!  Yeah, he was a TN governor...so I prefer to call the school APSU.  Thus far I like my classes and I am really enjoying smaller class sizes.  I should be able to graduate in May 2008!  Not half bad since I took over a year off....I am trying to graduate before Lukas goes to Iraq.  I really want him to see me walk!  Anyway there is actually one more tidbit of news but I want to save it until I'm a little more sure of it which will be at about 4....and no....I'm not pregnant...so no rumors!  :)  Anyway, till later!  Toodles! 

BTW...red, white, and black are APSU colors too...I'm supporting both my schools!

Please pray for me today as I am going in for a spinal tap at 2.  I am a little nervous and would greatly appreciate prayers!  Thanks!  Hope everyone has a great day!  I'll update and let you know how it went this evening!
