New School Year

Jeff and I have successfully completed day 1 of our new semester. Classes seem great...but coming home and not being in class is so much nicer. I think all the time about how happy I am to be completely done with school. The downside to this is...what am I supposed to do in April? Will I have a job? Will my four years of college be in vain? I love the classes that I've taken but it seems like I'm just graduating at a time where the economy has other plans.
The other day I realized what my parents were talking about when they said they learned something in high school but didn't remember it any more. When I was in high school, I thought, How on EARTH can you forget this important stuff?? Well, I was trying to remember something I learned and I did not remember how to do it AT all. It was embarrassingly awful and I knew I was getting old. The worst part is that this happened less than a week ago and I can't even remember what I forgot!
As school is starting back up, here's to learning things that we will inevitably forget in just 4 years.

happy everything.

I have decided if i only make one resolution this year, it is to blog more. Hopefully it sticks since the last time I blotted was in May. 2011 was such an amazing year for our small Drew family. We moved, visited New York, Jeff started the accounting program, played intramurals (and jeffs team made it to the semifinals in football), went to St. George for Thanksgiving and Virginia for Christmas. We have been so blessed and are so grateful for the opportunities we have been presented with this last year.
On new years eve, Jeff and I caught the spontaneity bug. We knew we would hang out with Eddy and Miken but we just assumed we would stay home and play games...that afternoon they suggested we go to Salt Lake, eat dinner and stay in a hotel. Before we left we had to decide which hotel to go to. Jeff and Eddy remembered seeing a hotel with a waterslide on the way to the airport so of course that's where we stayed...I mean justifiably Jeff is still only 5 and 3/4 years old!!! We checked in, went swimming, then had to get ready for dinner. Happy sumo and then we headed back to the hotel for games and watching the ball drop.
School starts tomorrow and I am so ready for my final semester as a college student to be over.
