Spring semester!!

Do you all see how many links are left on our chain?

That's right 8 that means 8 more Sundays till Riley is done with school. That means 8 more weeks till we go as a family on our surprise vacation for our 5 year anniversary. That also means we are half way through this semester. 

Yes half way through this semester... Can you believe it!!! We have been doing awesome this semester compared to last (I think it's because we are able to go outside more and not be so stir crazy) Riley has been struggling with more with this semester and I think it's just cause he had to take an extra class to get I out of the way and this class demands a lot of homework sadly!! But after this semester I told him he is not allowed to take more then 2 classes unless one is online. That way it's not to hard on him and he can enjoy his electrical classes more.

Also we are super excited to have riley a whole week between spring and summer semester (yephe is  doing summer semesters). That is also when we are celebrating our 5 year anniversary which isn't till June 24 but he will be in school and June means my work is super busy so we are doing our trip in may with the kids. We are excited to take the kids cause we have only done a couple vacations with the kids and its either disneyland or out to his grandmas so we are excited to just go on a lazy vacation with them. Now with this vacation I told riley 3 places we could go, either st George and go hiking, or Vegas and do the fun kid things there or Oceanside and do the zoo and sea world... So we will get to see where we are going when we get there. Ha ha the only HINT he gave me was I needed to pack a swimsuit. Bahaha he's funny!!

Anyways if you can't tell we are excited to be half way through.. Riley is taking his mid terms this week!! Prayers his way!! And I love being able to watch Anna's excitement every time she cuts a link off her chain she just loves it and I plan to do this for the next 10 semesters!! ( yes that's right 10 blah.. It's all worth it in the end RIGHT????)

(Also anyone who wants to do this idea we cut ours off Sunday mornings after bath when dad is here so he can talk about it with her and see everyone's excitement)
