I have a really big test this week in Anatomy. It is over the lecture material from the first five chapters...which is everything we have covered so far. So, the bulk of my "free" time tonight has been spent studying. I have flash cards that I use, but I have taken those flash cards, and rewritten all of the information on them. Repetition is important for retaining information. I have written eight pages of notes tonight in my studying...and that is only about half of the information covered in Wednesday's test. My fingers hurt and my brain is tired. So I decided to take a break, watch some t.v. with my DH and let my brain veg out with some useless, mindless entertainment for the rest of the night.
I finally finished my record of three days worth of food for my nutrition class. All of my assignments for the first section of this class are due on Friday. I have a very busy week for school. I still have to finish some of the nutrition homework as well.
Yesterday, as I blogged, was James' and my anniversary. Everyone has asked if we did anything special, and sadly, the answer to that is no. We went to church. For lunch, James had a frozen corn dog and I had ramen noodles. I did my anatomy homework and my Bible study lesson in the afternoon while the kids napped. We went back to church last night and for dinner, we had Burger King! I know, I have taken some flack for not doing anything special, but we have a very special trip coming up, so we are looking forward to celebrating our marriage then.
I made James' anniversary card...as I do all cards that I give. You wanna see my version of elegant and masculine?
We didn't exchange gifts this year. I asked simply for a "love letter" from my husband, which is kind of becoming our anniversary tradition and I made him his card. The love letter tradition started last year when we didn't want to spend a lot of money. I told James that I just wanted him to write me a letter pouring out his feelings to me. He is not a very verbal person, so I thought this would be a great thing for me to have. I can read it anytime I want and be reminded how my husband feels about me and why he fell in love with me to begin with. I loved last year's letter so much, that I asked for another one this year. It brought tears to my eyes when I read it. I just love to hear those loving words. I think I definately want this to be our new anniversary tradition. Why spend money when you can celebrate your love in a really meaningful way?

A love letter. What a beautiful thought. A gift not easily forgotten and treasured. The most touching gift I ever received was this. After your grandfather passed away and we were moving his desk, a greeting card fell out. I picked it up and it was a Mother's Day card he had gotten for me and put in the desk drawer. Mother's day was the next day after he went home to be with Jesus. It is my favorite card.
