Sun Devil


I'm officially a Sun Devil. That's right, sweet chicas; I'm going back to school on 1-19-10. Can you even believe it?

I'm nervous. Nervous like when I had my first real kiss or when I had to sing the National Anthem at my high school's track meet. Nervous like the first time I got pulled over for speeding. "My dad is going to K-I-L-L me!" I cried to the cop. My dad didn't kill me. I think it was because my eyes were swelled-shut from blubbering all the way home.

Tonight, as I loaded the dishwasher, I turned to mi Amor and said, tears starting to brim, "Do you think I can do it? Get my master's degree? Be real with me. Seriously. I don't want to fail, and then waste all our money in the process."

You know what he said? He said, "There's no doubt in my mind that you can do it."

I'm taking his word for it; and he'd better be right.

Now the question I have for you right now is: Do you think I should show my ASU Sun Devil spirit by redecorating our bedroom like the above posted picture. Too extreme?

  7. Ok, chicas! I'm going with Dacia's suggestion. A shirt should do the trick, but I still need the scarf, Mendy.

  11. 'm doing ASU's MAC program. When I'm through, I'll have a Master's of Education and a teaching certificate, English teaching. I'm only taking two classes right now. Originally I was taking four and then Bryce said, "You'd better slow down." He's so right. I get so excited about starting new things. Then I burnout and begin dreading every minute of whatever I've started. I start next Mon. and I cant wait:)

  15. Katy! You are so awesome! You never cease to amaze! Why would there be any question about " if you can do it!" Of course you can! I personally would go for the shirt! Leave the bedroom alone. I have even seen Sun Devil "pink" shirts at Dillards one day! You have your options you know!

  16. Are you in Arizona? I thought you were in Utah... when are you gonna get me your address or email? EMAIL ME por favor... trostlund@gmail.com.

    My husband's family live in Tempe... his mom taught health and wellness at ASU for years. I love that place... it was where I was going to get my archaeology degree...but went to BYU instead (cheaper). I still have my ASU sweatshirt though and I love it... GO ASU and GO KATIE!
