Halloween is almost here!

Wow! Where did the time go? I can't wait for Halloween which is this Friday!!!! It is my favorite holiday of the year and not only just because my hubby proposed on Halloween. Mike will be home soon and I can't wait for that. Too bad he comes home right during finals stress time. Oh well, at least I will have my sanity back for a while.

I have learned some new things here at law school and the people here...

• People from Iowa supposedly are Iowegians, not Iowans
• People in the South are always "fixin' to" do something...I wonder if they ever really do it
• Winter jackets come out for 50 degree weather...it is not that cold!
• I thought Minnesota drivers were the worst in the world...I was wrong...they don't have anything on the ones in Oklahoma
• You have to dress up to go to the bars here...guess I am not going to any bars anytime soon since I don't own Hoochie-Mama clothes anymore
• Rumors are like poison oak in law school...the spread and infect everyone
• And the final thing I have learned is that no one is safe from the law school blues...not even the person you thought had it all together...

I miss everyone but I am really starting to find my place here. Now if we only knew where Mike would be going...everything would be perfect.

Take care all...Hope you enjoyed my ramblings

It is October?

It is October, already? It does not seem like it here. The weather has been in the 80s until the last two days when it was actually high 70s. Amazing though that I have been in school for over 2 months now and finals are only 64 days.

I think I have spread the news to most people, but Mike is coming home. The army denied his extension in Korea and they are now sending him to Texas! :( He is trying to re-up and see if that could help his chances, but right now we are still going to be apart. But it will only be 5 hours instead of different countries. The good news in the whole thing is that he will be on leave for the holidays so I am excited to get to spend that time with him.

I cannot believe my niece is 6 years old. It seems like just yesterday she was born. Wow, time does go fast. And her sister is growing so fast. She talks to me on the phone all the time now and I actually understand most of what she is saying. They are the reason I am so adamant that I will be going back to Iowa. I really miss my family!

Things are overall going well. I have settled in and I have made some really good friends. School is hard and challenging and hair-wrenching but I would not trade one minute of it! (Does that make me mentally off?)

Take care all! I love you and I will be seeing you soon!
