New Projects

When Joel and I were shopping for Christmas presents for his family (we had Christmas at his family's 12/19 because we are going to Texas for Christmas) he found a strange fascination with the cooking aisles. So while we were looking at jars I thought that I could use them and add vinyl lettering from my Cricut for Christmas gifts - at least for Mike and Nikki and Joel's mom. We picked out a cookie jar for Mom Wenerstrom and Oil & Vinegar dressing containers for Mike & Nikki. So here are pictures of my newest projects with my Cricut (which is almost all my projects since school has taken so much of my time this semester).

"Grandma's Cookie Jar"

Happy!

So I thought I'd post a happy blog today. I'm in a really good mood today even though I have a cold and I'm pretty tired. So I took four classes this semester, a pretty light load. If I had realized that if I took one more I wouldn't have to go to another semester I would have done that, but oh well. So yesterday marked the first day of finals and I gave them a running start. Because I am a senior most of my finals are scheduled. So I had a 7 am final and a 2 pm final yesterday, then a 7 am final today (my last final isn't until Friday, yuck). So anyways, at my 7 am final this morning my professor returned our research paper. While I'm normally decent at writing, lets just say this semester hasn't really reflected that. So I didn't have very high hopes for the paper. But I looked at it...and I got an A! Yay! It made my week! All the time I spent on that paper actually paid off! So I was really happy.
And another thing to be happy about...about a month and a half ago Joel and I found out that I'm pregnant. So there will be a little Wenerstrom coming to our family next year in June. After being unsure about how we felt for a while, we've decided that we're excited. We're officially due June 23 (just two days before my birthday, which was one of my many due dates). So we are thirteen weeks along today (well, really it's just me who's 13 weeks along, Joel's just along for the emotional ride).
