peonies make me smile

Last week after a long day I went over to Spencer's house to spend some time with him. As I walked in his room I saw these:

My favorite flowers ever are peonies! Everytime we pass by them I always turn to say how much I love them, so I think that Spencer finally got the hint. It was the perfect surprise at the end of a long day and I got to put them in the new vase/pot I bought. They are on my nightstand and I can't think of anything better to wake up to every morning (besides Spencer but these will do for now). Thanks pokie bear I love them and I LOVE you!!

Yesterday I finished the book I've been reading, it's called "The Saving Graces" by Patricia Gaffney, and I definetely recommend it. It's sort of bittersweet finishing a good book,
on one hand you want to know how it ends but on the other hand, when it's over you wish it would just keep going. I have this thought everytime I finish a book and I'm always
worried that I won't find another book that I can get into..but I always do. Spencer and I headed down to Barnes and Noble today and I picked up a new one that hopefully can satisfy me, I'll keep you posted..Also along the same note do you remember having readathon's in elementary school? Maybe I'm just a nerd but those were the best! To bad I'm too old to get the free personal pan pizza's from pizza hut...

monster eye

Last monday Spencer and I went golfing, not just to the driving range actual golfing! Before we started our round we practiced putting and chipping which was fun and not to hard. Well actual golfing was a different story, I don't like doing activities that I'm not good at but I really am trying to not get frustrated with golfing. After hitting a few balls into the water, including the sweet jazz ball, we decided that on the holes that you have to drive over water Spencer would hit my ball for me :) I think we would've run out of balls otherwise..I ended up doing better than I thought I would and got some really good hits in! Well we finally got to the last hole when a bug flew into Spencer's eye. No big deal right?....WRONG! I thought he was just being a cry baby when he kept complaining but eventually it escalated and it turned into this:

You can't quite tell how awful it really was from this picture but it was scary. I have never seen an eye do what his eye did and so I made him go to instacare. On our way in there were a bunch of kids so I told him not to look at them cuz he'd probably make them cry haha and when the doctor saw him he apparently was thinking what I was thinking because he asked us if we had kids and said it was probably good we didn't because he would scare them. It ended up being just an allergic reaction but still took a few days to go away completely. I'm just glad he's ok and that we can laugh at it now.

First and foremost today is 3 months to wedding day!! I can't believe how slow and how fast time seems to be going by. But the good news is finals are OVER!!! Now we have basically a week to relax before we start summer session, but at least it will keep us busy and time will hopefully go by a little faster. Some other good news is we finally booked our honeymoon last night! This has been something that we've been trying to do for months and really is kind of stressful to plan, but now it's over and we can't wait to go! For 7 days and 6 nights we will be here:

Ahhhh look at that beach it is calling my name!!!
