so much to be happy about

we just went through all of the closing papers for the house. it's a HUGE stack of papers! why can't buying a house be easy like buying a car??
oh well. i'm soooooooo suuuuuper excited! closing is in a few days. and then we will be homeowners.
*sigh*
it all sounds so grown up. i feel like a child. well, i'm 22. i AM a child. haha.
and dan is 25, but he's just a kitten.

other things to be excited about:
dan's sister kathleen is getting married on friday! i like her a lot. actually, i like dan's whole family a lot. i'm very blessed to have found such a great guy from such a great family.

in june we will be going to california, taiwan, and indonesia with my family! it'll be dan's first time out of the country, and his first time meeting a lot of my family.
*side story: when dan got his passport my mom took one look at the picture and said "you look like a terrorist". thanks mom :)
i'm looking forward to this vacation, it'll be nice to get away from all the craziness here for a few weeks and relax and spend time with family. and go shopping!!! and my parents are paying for us to go as a graduation gift to me. they are very nice to us.

after that, the next big thing is moving to mesa.

oh man, i'm getting excited.
i'm also getting pretty nervous about starting school.
i've been out of school for a year, and let's be honest here, my study habits weren't that great to begin with. i hope i do well in the classes. but i've also been in a lab full time for a year. i'm excited to start new labwork.
i hope i make a good scientist.

i'm pretty jealous of dan. he's got a GREAT setup. he gets to work from home full time, which means he doesn't have to get dressed in the morning (something i hate doing, along with showers. i'm gross, i know.) and he gets to be with the puppies all day. oh ya, we're taking our dogs D and tomi with us!
but he also said he's excited about having time to cook dinner every night. something i am also happy about :D


summary:

we have a great life together <3
