No more exams!!

I am officially through with exams! I still have one more semester of college left, but, because I'm an education major, I have no exams next semester! Actually, I've been through for a week now, but it's just taken me a while to post that exciting news.

This past week has been fun relaxing with my wonderful husband, and getting to know him more. Truthfully, this is our first break since our honeymoon. As soon as we got back from our honeymoon in May, he started his Organic Chemistry courses. When that was over, we started our fall semester at Furman. Now, we finally get a nice month-long break from school :)

Vincent took me hiking as a surprise date to Table Rock after he finished his exams on Wednesday. It was harder than we had anticipated, but it was definitely worth it. The view was breathtaking! I love hiking, and getting to enjoy God's creations.

In between relaxing, babysitting, and dressing like a reindeer or princess, I've been having fun organizing the house and making it more homey and inviting. It's fun trying to find inexpensive ways to make our little house more welcoming!

We enjoyed going to North Carolina on Sunday getting to see our dear friend from high school get married! I'm so happy for her, and I know she will be an amazing wife. Emily Levinson has such a strong passion for Christ in her heart! Congrats, girl :)
The ceremony was beautiful. Sadly, I didn't get to enjoy it all. I made the mistake of sitting next to my best friend, Lauren. Of course, during the vows, I got the giggles due to a Youtube video I'd seen over and over before my own wedding. Lawfully Wedded Wife
Well, Lauren also started laughing, and.... well, it was just awful. I was trying to contain my laughter and  not be loud, so it sounded like squeaking. I was pouring sweat from trying to hold it all in! I think I almost broke Vincent's hand from squeezing it so hard.
