Come celebrate!

Hey all! I am graduating next Saturday!

You are all invited to the commencement ceremony and a luncheon to follow. Just let me know if you are planning to come!

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

Once upon a time, in a far away land called "Logan", there was a beautiful MacBook named Juliet. She was loved by all who knew her, especially her best friends David and Shantel. However, she was very lonely and she looked forward to the day that her prince charming would come and whisk her away to her very own happily ever after.

David and Shantel could see that Juliet was very lonely. She tried to hide her loneliness, but it was obvious that not only was she very lonely but very overworked as well.  David and Shantel wanted her to be happy, so they decided to set off on a quest to find the smartest, most handsome, most loving prince in the whole land to bring back to their dear Juliet.

After scouring the land for someone deserving of their dear Juliet, Shantel and David finally found him! Not only was Romeo very attractive with his 21.5" LED-backlit display, but he was very smart. (1 TB hard drive and 4GB memory in addition to the very enviable ATI Redeon HD graphics card.)

More than anything else, Romeo had a huge heart. After hearing about the beautiful Juliet, he agreed to go to her and try to win her affection.

It was love at first sight! 

Romeo and Juliet are now together and excited to begin their Happily Ever After. 

And David and I are SO excited to have Romeo in the family now. He fits perfectly on our desk in our back room, which is now going to be called the "Office".  I have pictures of us bringing him home from the bookstore (we love tax-free apple day!) but I don't have my camera with me right now. I will post them later. We decided that now was a great time for us to invest in an iMac, considering how much I use Juliet for my little business. We also bought CS5 and will be receiving it in the mail within the next couple of weeks! 

We are super excited! 

(p.s. Yes, our computers are really named Romeo and Juliet. We bought Juliet right as I was going through a phase where I loved these songs: Check Yes Juliet and Love Story. And Romeo was fitting, don't you think?)  

(p.p.s. I realize that Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet were not prince and princess. Our Romeo and Juliet, however, are.)

Pictures at last.

Have you noticed a severe lack of photos in my recent posts? I don't have any really good excuses for that except for the fact that I haven't been very good about taking pictures lately. However, I have a few pictures to post today. 

Here are some from the past little while :) 

I don't remember exactly what I was doing, (or why David took this picture for that matter) but it looks like I had just finished dinner and was in the middle of writing lesson plans for my classes. (Actually, I was probably playing Facebook Attack... but lets pretend that I was being really productive! Maybe pretend I was working on a wedding invitation or something.)

Last weekend, David and I decided to go out to dinner at Angie's. Their slogan is: "Where the Locals Eat." So now it's official! We are locals!

You can just imagine what David is thinking here. I'll paraphrase. "Why does this girl feel like she has to take pictures of us everywhere we go. As soon as I get my hands on that camera, i'm not giving it back!" So sorry David! But how else am I supposed to document our lives on our blog? 

 It's been so warm lately and so after our dinner at Angie's we went to Arctic Circle and got delicious ice cream cones! I love their cherry dipped cones. :)

I have to give some background our latest adventure so you will understand. 

I had just gotten home from student teaching, and had about a half hour break before I had to leave to go to work. I grabbed Juliet (our sweet little laptop computer) and flopped down on the bed to rest for a minute while I caught up on my facebook/blog stalking. I had only been there for a couple of minutes when I saw a black spot scurry across the sheet close to my leg. I jumped off the bed and grabbed something to smash the spider that had tried to eat me, but couldn't find out where the little creature had escaped to. I was creeped out so I went into the living room to finish my facebook/blog stalking. When I went back into the room a couple of minutes later, I saw the spider on the floor. I was ready this time and I tried to smash it, but it was too quick for me again! 

When I told David what had happened, I also told him that we would not be sleeping in our bed that night. And we didn't. 

We had a sleepover in our front room! It was so much fun. (And so much less creepy. There is no way that I would have been able to sleep knowing that I was sharing a bed with a spider!)

We pulled the couches together to make a little bed, and it was actually very comfortable. 

Isn't he cute? He looks happy for someone who has been kicked out of his bedroom by a little bug! He is so good to humor me when I get crazy ideas like these.
