LRCE, Obama, Kali, slumber parties, etc..

So, president Obama was sworn in yesterday. It was quite moving. I think it would be something special to have been there to see all of those people. I am really excited about what he will bring to the table. It is great to see such hope from people who never cared before. Poor guy has a lot to live up to though!

I am still waiting to here from the LRCE program to see if I got in. I hope I do!!!

Nick and I went and looked at the apartment he will be living in when he moves back here in May. Can I say... it is BAD ASS. It is only $50 more per month than our apartment now and wwaaayy nicer. I feel like we are getting gypped! I am excited to visit him there. The only problem is that the guy who lives there is sooo old. The furniture is all new but it is all old people furniture. He really liked me and Nick. He seemed lonely which made me sad. We sat and visited with him for a while. e gave me such a big hug when we left it made me sad. I told Nick to call him to go play golf since he lives on the course. He may!

Last weekend was a lot of fun. Nick and I went out to Wasabi for sushi for Shannon's birthday and then we went out downtown. I work with some pretty great people. I will miss them so much! This weekend we are having a "reunion" at a friends house and there should be a huge turnout. I think it will be fun and worth the drive to Jacksonville!

I cant wait to get my hair done tomorrow!!! I am desperate for a cut and color... i am out of line at this point! I will post a picture although it may not look too different!

Mom also got new counter tops this week. This brown granite color. She sent me a million pics and I can t wait to see it in person! I was also on the phone with Kali forever yesterday. I told her a long time ago that when I move home that we will have a slumber party. She is still so excited about it! She said that she is going to make a map of the house. She wants her uncle Nick to "build her a stage for karaoke!" I almost died and tried to explain to her that uncle Nick doesn't know how to build anything. She also said that we need to make invitations and cookies and have a tea party. She said all the girls can "wear their Easter dresses...I have mine and its pink with white dots". She asked is Nick was allowed and I said no boys. She then went on to ask why boys don't have slumber parties. I explained to her that they usually call them sleep overs. She said all the girls MUST bring: pajamas, Easter dresses, and sleeping bags. She said we could all do each others hair and nails. She is pumped and so am I. Every time I talk to that child I think of how much fun I will have with her when I move home. I think I love her more than anybody I have ever met. I don't know if I will be able to love my own more? I hope so. :)

Anyways...Hope everyone has a good rest of the week. I am trying not to work too much even though I worked about 11 hours today! BOO... I cant wait to teach! Everyone say a little prayer that I get in... I think I will need it :)
