Soakin' it up

On Friday I finished summer semester. I never have to do summer school again so that is happiness. Eric and I spent the weekend with friends shopping, trying out new restaurants, and celebrating the end of another semester. Only two more semesters to go. Isn't this so exciting? We can't wait for me to graduate and be done with school! I have a week in between summer and fall semester so I decided that I was going to soak it up and enjoy the freedom of no homework. This week has consisted of lying in bed and reading whatever I want to read. I haven't had to worry about assignments that I need to get done so that is a major plus of no school. I also had a day at the spa this week, big thanks to my incredible husband. A day of getting pampered is much needed sometimes. So glad that Eric understands! 

I have been looking forward to this night for two weeks now. My friend Melissa and I met while I was dancing in Utah. She and I moved to Houston around the same time and we finally got together last night. She introduced me to all of these girls and I am loving that I have new friends. All of us have moved to Houston within the past year for our husband's jobs. It is fun to have so much in common. Most of us are from Utah and are super new to the area. I have learned that my friends are really becoming my family here in Texas. When you are all in the same boat and are thousands of miles away from family, you rely on each other and spend so much time together. I am loving that I have some good friends here. 

Today is consisting of getting my hair done and packing my bags to go to UTAH! Eric has to work in Salt Lake this week and he knew that if he went without me I would be so sad. He came home with a ticket to Utah for me to go with him a couple months ago and I was so happy! It ended up working out that I had a break from school and he had to work at the same time so we are heading there in the morning for a long weekend. It is a quick trip and we get back to Houston on Monday but 5 days is better than nothing. We are so excited to go and see family. Eric and I are super close to my cousin Micah and he is getting married this weekend so it worked out perfect. I am going to keep soakin' it up before I start school again on Monday. UTAH HERE WE COME!!
