Nick just finished his final semester of course work with a 4.0! All As. I am such a PROUD wife. I love to see him so dedicated to his career in Agronomy. Which I tell people, that is the study of soil and plants. We are in the home stretch. We just need this summer and next summer research to be complete, write a small book report called a dissertation, and then he will be a Doctor of Dirt!
I can't wait for December 2013 where I will be in the front row with Allie cheering on her Dad as he walks across that stage getting his PhD diploma. T minus 1.5 years!
CONGRATS NICK!!!

Just a soda
Special story...
So I was at my usually lunch venue, Brown Baggers. Yes, having a child to get off to school in the morning makes it difficult to pack a lunch and be on time. So I have found a lunch place for $3.82, I receive a sandwich, chips, small cookie, and bottle water. I am telling myself I can't make my lunch for that amount...
Anyways, so I am line. About 3 people back and this woman comes up behind me. Description of the woman: Octo-mom looking, cut off sweatpants, greasey hair, do you have a mental picture? She starts talking of course to me, about how all she wants is a soda and can't believe how long the line is. In my head, I am like when I get up there I will let her go in front of me. So still waiting, she is asking what I am going to order, I say the Murphy Melt (turkey/provolone sandwich). She then continues to say, oh that sounds good, but I am only getting a soda. She continues to ask questions about the sandwich, how much? what do I get on it? etc, etc. But always reemphasizes the only getting a soda. Anyways, it is my turn.
Brooke to woman behind me "So are you just getting a soda?"
Woman "Yes, just getting a soda"
Brooke "You can go ahead of me"
Woman does not say thanks or anything to me, goes right in front of me "I will have the Murphy Melt"
SERIOUSLY? You just talked with me for 5 minutes about how you weren't getting anything but a soda.
Kicker of the story...she left without getting a soda
