overtaken...yet again

So, needless to say, our friend Valerie doesn't have the time to update this, so me, being a great bestfriend, decided the masses neede an update.

Valerie finished her 10th semester with flying colors! Top scores in her hardest classes and she even pulled an A in her Tuesday/Thursday 8am-her most boring and dull class this semester!
make sure you congratulate her on a job well done!

In the work arena, she's finishing up the Quad and what i've seen of it has been quite phenomenal-she really has a knack for this graphic design stuff! go order one-www.corpsofcadets.org

We now finally completed the move-in and have settled in our duplex, the last of our stuff was delivered last week and we're finally getting the last of the decor hung. come see our new place, and hey-we may even feed you, call to set up a time & give directions!

props go to my roomate for cooking an amazing dish last week for dinner-turkey meatballs with (my homemade) smashed potatoes. it was so yummy. she has become quite the chef these days-earlier this week she whipped out a from-scratch tiramasu...and it was Deelissh! We try to stay on a budget and eat healthy, so we're all about the meal plans & menus; my subscription to Everyday, Rachel Ray's mag & frequenting thepioneerwoman.com really help us in coming up with yummy meals for lunch and dinner, just email us for recipes, we'd gladly share!

i think our, or rather, Valerie's, next project is to overhual my mountain bike into a single-speed roadbike...in light of the increasing gas prices & the general desire for us to be more active, we're gonna try the Clifbar "2milechallenge"-which is riding your bike to places that are within a 2-mile radius of your home.

I think Valerie is also looking forward to "Summer Fun Extravaganza" which is what some families from church are putting together: once or twice a week we'll get togehter at the park or pool to hang out, play and fellowship together to meet new peeps and get to know others better!

so theres what's going on in Valerie's neck of the woods!

maybe sometime this year she'll actually post!

peace out friends,
