There you go. If you didn't want to read a list like that, I'm sorry. But, you already did, so ha. We're doing well. Eli's mom and grandma were down for the weekend and we had a really good time with them. They were our first guests, and it was a wonderful weekend. Eli had an organic chemistry test this week, we think he did well. Right now we're really busy with tests and end of the semester papers and projects. We only have two more weeks of school and then finals. I have to go register for graduation tomorrow (woohoo!). Annie and Chad and the kids are here, so that's fun, and we get to go to Sunday afternoon session of conference with Annie and Chad, apparetnly because we're the only ones she knows without kids, but we'll take it anyway. We heard that Grandma's surgery went well today, so that's really good. We hope she'll be able to recover with little pain. That's about all. have a good week everyone!
