Time to brag, feel free to ignore.
A couple months ago I was already accepted into the W.P. Carey school of business at ASU for economics, but I decided I wanted to push myself a little harder. I collected a bunch of letters of recommendation, filled out an extensive application (took me about a week to complete) and applied to Barrett, the honors college at ASU.
They said there was a 6 - 8 week waiting period till I would know. So the weeks went on and I kept checking my ASU account just to see if I got accepted early. On Monday of this week I called to let them know that I had moved. The guy I talked to said his committee just finished processing the applications for the batch I was in. He transfered me to his secretary for the address change. I I gave her my change of address and I asked if she could look up if I got accepted. She said it hadn't hit the system yet, but it should soon.
So the days went by and I was checking my ASU account at least 6 times a day to see if I was accepted. By the time Wednesday rolled around and I still was listed under the standard Economics program I figured I was denied. However, bright and early Thursday (today) morning I though "what the hell" and checked my ASU account, and I was accepted. Yay!

Then I danced
Amanda was so excited she couldn't help herself and dressed up like little red riding hood.

Joining The Cool Crowd
Now that we're married and old, Amanda and I forgot how to stay hip and cool. Or is it sick now. Amanda and I are still sick, we're sicker than we've ever been. We're so sick that we will be posting our life updates in here, so you can all track us like NORAD's invasion of Santa privacy.
So we moved out of our amazing tiny apartment and moved in with Amanda's family. They are a fun family but I really miss the apartment. Amanda is on the hunt for work right now, its putting a toll on her but she trudges through it day after day. She's quite the woman, look at her, she's so purty.
There really isn't much to say after a cute picture like that. Later guys. I need to quit trying to find excuses not to do my homework.
