Here she is and I love her:
Before
All sanded down
Yellow Top
Top Done
All Done
Back in the House!
Now if only I could get my ambition back up and finish my chairs.

Summer Project
This summer I took on my first DIY project this summer and refinished my table... Now to be clear, I'm neither crafty nor very handy so it was very interesting and extremely educational experience.
Now if only I could get my ambition back up and finish my chairs.

My New Nemesis
Right Now:Let me introduce my new nemesis: "The quotient derivative": f '(x) = v(x) • u'(x) - u(x) • v'(x)/ v(x) • v(x). yata yata yata you may say this sounds like nonsense...well to be quite honest it sounds like nonsense to me too. I have one class to take before grad school and it's calculus and the only way I could take it was online. Well I'm sitting here this fine Sunday afternoon (actually it's cloudy ergo not so fine day) And I can't seem to get through this (bad word) problem which might I add I've done about 15 times. The hubby is currently at work so I figured I'd take a minute and rant on the internet.
The news: It's been a while since I've updated the blog, mostly because I'll sit down to do it and the words just won't come out. But here's the news: I GOT INTO PA SCHOOL!!! Which I couldn't be more thrilled (or shocked) about. I applied to two schools: Rocky Mountain College (Billings MT) and University of Utah (SLC UT). I was offered one interview and it just so happened I got in.
The Interview: Walker and I drove up to Montana on Thurs Sept 27. We payed the $25 fee and drove through Yellowstone park. I've never been, and was blown away at how gorgeous it was. I highly recommend going for those who have never been. The trip took about 11 hours at a mosey pace. We spent the first night in Billings and my interview was Friday. The interview went "well". There was an individual interview, a group interview, lunch with the current students and a campus tour. I also got a chance to sit in on their current classes lecture and see how things were run. I felt it went "well" but not great. There were some very competitive interviewees with me and I was quite intimidated, but on the other hand I didnt' think I completely bombed it. I really enjoyed the school. It's very small, the campus is old with only a few buildings, but the architecture was amazing. I was told I would hear back by the following Wednesday and recieved an e-mail on Tuesday. I held my breath as it opened and then held it some more as I waited for the attachment to download. "Congratulations you've been accepted into the class of 2015" I then had to do some math and have a coworker re-read it to make sure I'd read it right. I'm so excited for so many reasons. I'm glad I got in and don't have to worry about it any more. I'm glad to moving on to somewhere different, I'm glad that I've accomplished a goal and built new ones on top of that.
The Montana Trip: Other than the interview we got to spend a weekend with Colton (Walker's brother) He drove us around the country side. I was amazed at how pretty everything was (on the ugly side of Montana) and how big it was. You can look out forever it seems.
I can't wait for this new chapter of our lives and to be advancing my career. Now if only I could pass this (bad word) calculus class.
