Post-Turkey Day Update!
So we returned home from a visit home to celebrate Thanksgiving with our families and now are on the last stretch of school before we are college graduates!
We headed back to Wisconsin on Wednesday night and enjoyed an nice dinner with my dad at good old Cranky Pats since mom was working at Macy's then Greg went down to Milwaukee to spend some time with his mom and dad. I enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving with the whole gang at grandma and grandpa Schmidts' including all three dogs! It was very nice to see everyone and we actually ended up having a family picture taken of all of us on Friday, since the last one that was taken was nearly eighteen years ago (I think)! Wow I didn't realize it had been that long but I was the only kinder in it and I was only 4 or 5! So I think that was nice to have a picture of us all. As well, mom and I went shopping on Friday before she had to work and dad and I went after I dropped her off so I had quite the busy day. After my came home, we went to Fartello's in Appleton for dinner with grandma and grandpa Metzig. The next day Greg came up and we headed home.
After we got home, we enjoyed a little time to relax, but just a little. We went to the shelter and I started one studying for all my exams and papers I have to do, as well as going to work! But I am happy to say, as of today I have six papers done and only two more to go! YEAH!
Now I am getting prepared for graduation in a couple of weeks. Mom and Dad, and all the grandparents will be come to celebrate so I am really looking forward to that! We are going to have a party and everyone is going to come watch me walk at commencement!

It's been too long!
Goodness it has been a while since I updated! Sorry about that but the semester has been crazy! We celebrated Becca and David's birthdays and Matt came to visit. Also, the hockey season started so we have been going to the games on Fridays and of course volunteering at Feline Rescue Shelter at least once a week.
Becca and Lesley celebrating at Applebee's on campus.
But speaking of the shelter...there is a new kitty that Greg has become very attached to named Mr. MacGregor! He is quite the cutie and very friendly. He loves to cuddle and be pet. He is a medium haired kitty like Grace but a bit bigger and darker gray. We think Grace needs a boyfriend! lol We will have to see about that!
Coming up, my parents will be visiting next weekend to go to the Wisconsin/Gopher football game so it will be nice to see them. Hopefully we can do some shopping to considering mom's new adventure into the retail sales at Macy's! I plan to enjoy that discount! Hopefully I can find a dress for graduation!
