Wreaths, Dragon Boat Races, and not studying......

I remember very well when I was back in college that I would pretty much use any excuse there was to not study. "I need to deep clean my dorm room and rearrange it,  go to lunch with some friends, because that really took a lot out of me, and then I would probably have an afternoon nap so I could really focus on studying later. :)"

5 or so years later, I am still trying to do that but instead of cleaning, or napping, I am blogging. :) Sheesh. (Marah, please do not call me and tell me to delete my blog because it is taking my focus away from studying. You need this so you can see what we are up to! :)) The good news is that I have a little more self control than my 19 year old self.

Lately I have been doing pretty well- I have kept myself on track for the most part, and have been learning a concept I should have learned while I was at Texas A&M, do school like its your job, 8-5 Monday- Friday so you don't get burned out, and you can still have fun. (Thanks to my Sugar Daddy, Dallas, I can do this without worrying about a real job.) I still do stuff on the weekends, but don't feel obligated to do it.

Speaking of age, my birthday is coming, and I am going to be 25 years old.
It's funny when you think back to High School, and my "life plans."  Now, obviously (And thankfully) my plans did not work out, and I am somewhere I never thought I would be. Married to a wonderful man in the Air Force, a pilot's wife, once again- a new college student, and living in Louisiana. I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next!

On to our weekend!

It was great! Saturday, we went to watch Amy and Derrick at the Dragon Boat Festival on the Red River! Little did we know, we would get drafted to race in their final race  since they lost members of the team to afternoon activities.

Lots of fun! If we are not preparing to endure a harsh winter in Minot, ND next year, we decided we will get our very own team together to race. On top of the great fun, it was just such a beautiful day which made it even more enjoyable!

After the races, we went home, and got supplies for the Fall Wreath CRAFTernoon! All of the supplies for this wreath came to a whopping $10 bucks! And I think it's super cute! And its always great fun hanging with Amy and Der. (Note- Dallas and Der did manly things, and started a bonfire- later realizing there is definitely a burn ban here- Good Job, guys!)

Here is the wreath!

Also, as promised, here is my completed dining room! :)

I just love our new furniture and I also love entertaining here! :)

Also, better late than never, here is a picture of our new home here in Bossier City!

Dallas just put up our flag in honor of 9-11. Also note our Texas Iron Star! 

Thanks to the Riley's for this AWESOME anniversary present! We just love it and it adds the perfect Texas Touch to our home!

This week is going to be hectic. I have my first test in Microbiology, and in Psychology, as well as a test in math (woof) in a week, which I will need all of the time in the world to study for in order to do well. Dallas has his very last academic test this week and will soon be hitting the flight line at the end of the month! He is ready to start flying again and is pretty excited about it! Now I must get back to studying!

Cheers,

Megan and Dallas

Have a great week!
