Busy Busy Busy

It seems like this semester has been so busy already, and we are only a few weeks in. I have decided to take 2 classes this semester in an effort to finish my Ph.D a bit faster.  Since I work for Auburn, they pay for up to 5 hours per semester for classes, so I only have to pay for one credit hour  since I am taking 6 hours. It really works out to be a super cheap way to get your Ph.D! 

Will is doing well in his classes too, and it almost done with all his course work. He will begin working on his dissertation next Spring 2011....I cant believe it...that means that we are closer to beginning our family!  Will and I decided that we will start our family after he has finished and graduated with his Ph.D and has a job.  So we are moving closer to that and I am very excited about that! But for now we have Lulu, who substitutes for our child! 

We also are getting ready for Mardi Gras, we are one week out from the annual Crewe of Columbus ball in Mobile. Will and my Dad, as well as other members of our family are members of the organization and I have been going to the ball now for about 10 years. It is really like a family reunion every year...I love it! Its really fun now that Will is in the organization....I can not wait until he is promoted to an active member and can actually begin parading...that will be so fun!


Here are some pictures from the ball last year.....
