FYI

In case you haven't heard through the grapevine, the hubs & I finally took the plunge and spent our honeymoon money on tickets to...

IRELAND!
We're going the last week of May just a few days after school gets out and a few days before he leaves for grad school. We got an awesome deal on airfare & car rental so now all we have to do is plan for things to do and places to stay. So, if you've been there, let us know! Unless you intervene, we're at the mercy of whatever Google tells us to do. 

In other news, I'm in the midst of the busiest/craziest time of the year. The confirmation retreat is this weekend, our friends Justin & Erin are getting married next Friday, then we're doing our first NYG meeting (YIKES!), then it's All Alaska, then Spring Break, then (basically) it's time for Good Friday & Easter. In addition to all of this, I have been chosen (coerced?) as the District Coordinator for the NYG which means a multitude of different things for my crew but it also means I get to go to "the Lou" in May. Hopefully I can schedule in an extra day or two to see my favorite people. 

School is... frustrating. I'm at a total loss as to how to channel my inner scholar when writing my papers. While I understand the content of the coursework (awesome stuff about leadership-- Mark would be proud) I'm not doing so hot grade-wise in the class. And I don't handle that very well. So, for you scholarly folk out there, hints are appreciated. 

So there's your non-video update.
