Can't believe it's been 40 years since Dan asked me to go steady with him. I miss Dan and the life we had - the good times - every day.

Well, it's been going on two weeks away from work and I'm just starting to feel like my old self. My eyes are looking better and not so swollen from too much or not enough sleep! I spent the money to have them done last July and I'm finally seeing the results! LOL!

School is going really well - I got all A's at midterm and I expect to get all A's at the end of this semester. I'm so bummed about the B+ in Stats last semester. I really wanted to graduate with a 4.0. I have four classes next semester, then four the following, then two the last semester, so I'm hoping I can finish out with A's.

Keith and I are desperately looking for some place to live. I really can't take living in this apartment much longer. I moved in August 2011 and enough is enough of apartment life. We are not going to buy, but instead try to rent until he retires. We want to buy something in Arizona, so we may do that before he retires because the house prices are creeping up. Things are going really, really well with us. I'm so hoping they work out. I think if we live together first it will be good to see just how well we do before we get married! But, I think it's all good. We do need a bigger kitchen, that's for sure. When we're cooking, it's the two of us, his dog Cocoa, who is a Chocolate Lab mix, and my Gideon, and there's just not enough room!

Well, finishing up some homework today (I always have homework - I've had homework almost every day for the last three years and I'm so sick of homework!), then I'm going to the driving range to hit some balls before my first group lesson tomorrow, then I'm going to make pizza meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner. Keith and Cocoa are coming over. I can't wait until he doesn't have to come over, and he doesn't have to leave!
