Our Catalog Kitty

Endrit went in the room to pet the kitty and he was sitting in his laying down all curled up position which Endrit refers to as his catalog pose. So he went and got our camera, Dexter is really good about holding comfortable poses long enough to get several great pictures of him. Any one know how we can make some money off of his symeterical face and stunning beauty just give me a call and tell me. We love our Dexter. He has been fun to love for the last couple of years. There is definately a personality in that little brain.

We had tons of people at our apartment on Saterday. Alex, Brydie, Maclain, Bridger, Rilynn, Phillip, Cooper, Allie, my Mom, Endrit and I. That is 11 people in a 1 bedroom apartment. I was hoping that Dexter would be a good kitty with 5 kids aged 6 and under. He stayed in the front room on a chair for a while giving little nips at kids that invaded his territory. He doesn't understand children yet. I took him into the bedroom to cool off and he hid there for just a couple of minutes then came back out to be with all the people and was a doll most of the time. I was proud of him. Those kids are a loud bunch and he just held his ground and was mostly happy.

All in all it was a good weekend. I have seen family every weekend for the last 3 weeks which has been different, but good! Family is nice to have around. It was the first time any of my siblings have seen where I live. It is tiny, but home. We have definately made it our own. That is about all I have to say. I hope that I have a good week.

Another Week Gone

I know that there are some people that don't like that there is no pictures in my posts, but I don't have too many pictures that I take. I learned that it isn't that great to take pictures all the time. But to appease some, I am putting up a picture of where I am writing this blog.
That is right. I am on frontrunner and it is really nice. I am on my way to go and visit Alex and Brydie. It is a nice little place to relax rather than try and fight the traffic.

I think that it will be a good weekend. I have homework to do, but Mom is coming down and will be watching Woman's conference with me. It is nice because I get it on my TV. With the HDTV, I get digital channels. Most people are able to get 5 or 13, I am able to get 5.3 which is where I get the live broadcast. I kind of feel spoiled with this.

I am starting to get better. I got a humidifier so I hope that it will help me to not get as many infections. I don't know what is wring with me. I think that this one has let up faster than most. at least I have not needed antibiotics for this one as of yet. We will see if it gets better.

That is about it for now.

First Day of Fall

I love Fall. It is my most favorite time of year. It has a little crispness to the air and everything starts to turn my favorite colors. I went to school in an orange tee shirt and brown pants. I feel fall in the air and I LOVE it. Soon it will start to snow, but for now it is beautiful. Sardine canyon is beautiful. I wish I had a picture of it, but I didn't think of it while going through.

My Picture

This is a bad picture of me, but it shows how large the picture is. I really love it!!

This is how it sets on our wall...

Here is a better picture of what the frame really looks like.

Working the System

There is one good thing to being in school for 5 years. You know how to get financial aid. This semester I have been able to qualify for many things of financial aid and great scholarships. Scholarships mostly pay for my tuition now. It is a great incentive to get good grades. Also I have learned to look at my financial aid about monthly and look it over for inaccuracies. This academic year, I was awarded work-study which I will not use. Work-study is just that. You get a job that is elligable for use of those funds and you work for free to them but still get money. I have chosen not to work because of my health maintenence. That is $5000 that is showing that I have financial aid, when I will not use it, puting other grants I am still elligable for at risk because I am about $200 away from overaward. If your are overawarded, it is less likely that you will get another grant that is need based. I canceled the work-study today so that I will be able to get the SMART grant for my senior year. I am proud of myself for seeing these and fixing them in order to really get the ability to have my schooling all paid for by grants and scholarships. I wish that more people knew what they were elligable for so that more people would go back to school and get degrees. There really is a LOT of money out there for people to get for free. Granted it is better if you are a resident in the state where you go to school. If you are not, tough luck getting any scholarships, but grants, you still get.
Being a resident also brought another grant to me that I didn't know about. It is really nice to even get a few hundred dollars more than you thought that you would. By the end of this month, I hope to get the grant that I should still qualify for.

The Frame.

I was able to go and pick out a frame for my wedding picture on Saturday. I think that it is extremely beautiful. Endrit wasn't able to be there to help me pick it out so I had to take a picture of it with my phone. That is why the picture isn't all that great. It is actually 2 frames that will be put together to make a thinker frame that is needed when the picture is 20x30 inches. The outer frame has a flowr pattern carved into it and the second frame has some random carvings on the inside by the picture. Also the mats that are pictured are the ones that will be surounding all of the picture. It should be done by Saturday. I hope so since Endrit doesn't have work on Saturday and we would be able to travel to Logan an pick it up. I am so excited that after almost 3.5 years of marriage I got the picture for my wall. I just wanted to share the wonderful frame.
