Expect the Unexpected

My first week, or so, in the AZ has been filled with many unexpected surprises....

• I did not expect to watch so many shows on Hulu
• I did not expect to drink so much water
• I did not expect to sweat so much
• I did not expect to listen to so many Christian Rock radio stations
  
• I did not expect all of the adds on my fb page immediately change to Phoenix adds
• I did expect it to get dark so early at night
• I did not expect a cat to hiss at me
• I did not expect to spend so much money
• I did not expect my geraniums to still be alive
• I did not expect to drive all over the area without any problems only to get lost in my own neighborhood
• I did not expect there to be so many sweaters and boots for sale
  
• I did not expect my classes to start this week
  
• I did not expect multiple people to invite me to go to the temple with them in one day
• I did not expect a bug to make a loud buzzing sound all of the time
  
• I did not expect there to be so many bright pink and orange flowers
  
• I did not expect a 55 gallon container of soy sauce to be in the garage
• I did not expect to meet so many people and to feel so welcomed in such a short period of time
  

Done and Done

Well it is official, I am a college graduate AGAIN! I recently got my diploma in the mail. After three long years of online classes it is nice to have something to show for all of that hard work. So, here's to no more online classes and no more bachelor's degrees, from here on out I will be sitting in a classroom and earning a graduate degree!

I also recently finished my first project with my new (or not so new, anymore) sewing machine. I made a rag quilt for baby Aubrey. I cut out the fabric before she was born, 16 months later it is finally finished. I think it looks great and I learned lots while working on it.


When I spread the quilt out to take a picture of it Aubrey immediately sat down on it. I will take that as a good sign.
