The feeling has finally sunk in. I took two out of my three finals yesterday and classes are over. I woke up this morning all ready to lounge around, do nothing and sit in my pajamas all day. Yeah, not happening. I’m too excited! I made myself a very nice breakfast (albeit healthy), folded clothes, ran a few more loads, played with the dogs and paid a couple bills. I’ve got some errands to run this afternoon, but I’m going to save that for after Tom is home for lunch.
I got some good news this week. We finally know where we will be moving and where I will be attending law school beginning in the fall. Unfortunately, I did not get into my top choice, but PLEASE do not comment and say “I am so sorry” because I am totally fine with it. My top choice was a private school and although it would have been so nice to live back at home near my friends and family, it would have cost us SO much more. With my school, I will be saving about $22,000 because of my scholarship. Also, Tom and I will be able to start our marriage completely fresh and on our own; not that I wouldn’t prefer to have his family and mine closer for us to lean on when we need them, but I really think it will help our marriage to be away. We’ve already told our families that our house will be the “vacation house” so they will have to come visit. I am so incredibly excited (and proud of myself) because I am actually doing it - really and truly going to law school!!!
With finals and all that, I have seriously been slacking with working out, and my good eating habits have gone out the window. This morning, I started up again. The gym is going to be my last “errand” of the day and when I get back from that, I will be shredding. I weighed myself this morning AND I GAINED A POUND FROM LAST WEEK. UGH. I was talking with a friend and she recommended that I should stop weighing myself and instead get a measuring tape to measure myself once a week. With all the strength training I’m doing, it makes more sense to pay attention to the inches but not the pounds.
And lastly, I was tagged by one of my favorite people to post a picture of myself that I JUST took. I took three and couldn’t choose, so I’ll just post all of them:



Um yeah. Still in my pajamas, hair unwashed, face unwashed, and … I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet. Why did you make me do this, Rachael?!
I am going to get a couple other people to do this, so consider yourself tagged Tiffany, Jessica, Katharina, and Lynn! Here are the rules:
-
Take a picture of yourself right now.
-
No primping or preparing.
-
Just snap a picture.
-
Load the picture onto your blog.
-
Tag some people to play along.
Have fun! :)
