Happy Monday!

I cannot believe that it is already Monday again. It is crazy to me how the week goes by so slow sometimes and the weekend just flies by. I am back to work again this morning trying to get students completed for their Financial Check-In process and dealing with all of that craziness. A lot of the leadership came back this weekend and starts their training this week for another semester so the campus will start to get busier and busier. I really loved winter break because it was so quiet and tons of parking spaces. Come next Monday they will be few and far between:(

This weekend was very productive and we found a lot of great deals for the house in terms of decoration and necessities. Peter and I have been looking to do the 2nd bathroom upstairs in a deep red as previously blogged about. We went to Kohl's because they have great towels and usually they are always on sale. The towels this weekend were "Buy 1 Get 1 for $1"....who can beat that????? We, of course, bought the towels. We decided against the red and he chose a green color that is really cool. We are going to do all white rugs as he loves the cleanness of the white. For all of you reading, yes Peter and I share a bathroom, however he wanted to participate in the decorating as well so he wanted to decorate the 2nd bathroom, which I was definitely not opposed to. Peter has amazing taste and style and I trust him completely with his choices. They did not have all the rugs in stock so I am going to order them online today and have them shipped out while they have that great sale going on. We also ventured over to Lowe's and bought our Electrolux washer and dryer in white. We have looked and looked at those for weeks now and just kept putting it off and putting it off. We finally decided to 'bite the bullet' and get the washer and dryer since they had free delivery, hookup, and installation, $75 mail in rebate and they both were $100 off. As expensive they are you would think that $100 really would not put a dent in the price, which it really didn't but every little bit helps. I am so thankful we were able to get a nice washer and dryer. It is something I have wanted ever since we moved into our apartment, but unfortuntely there were no hookups. I am so excited!! They are going to be delivered the weekend we move in and hopefully all will go well. I am excited to do my first load of laundry in my OWN washer and dryer for once. Peter and I have been going to Liberty's Dorm 33 to do our laundry for the longest time or whenever we go to his parent's house in Greensboro we do it there. Talk about a hassle!!

Well good news! The gym opens back up today for longer than 8am-5pm. They are finally going to be open till 8pm now. Peter and I are headed back today and are so excited. It has been a long month of not being able to go to the gym and we are so thrilled we can go back now. We both have always loved being able to workout together and be each other's accountability partners. Peter has been my 'trainer' for as long as I can remember and he does a great job because he challenges me to do different things daily, which takes the routine out of working out. We, of course, have different goals in mind when going to the gym. He wants to get bigger and I want to get more toned. My goal is to have Kelly Ripa arms:) She has got such amazingly toned arms.

Well, I am going to start work now, but I hope you all have a great Monday!
