[does anyone else think it's awkward when I tell you what I'm going to tell you before I tell you?]
Clint and I really like cucumbers on our sandwiches. I've found some good deals on them, so I've been buying them. The problem is, once you slice enough for two sandwiches, you still have apx 73% of the cucmber left. To use up the leftovers, yesterday I sliced up the remaining cucumber and put it in a tupperware container. Then I put in a shake of salt, and a squeeze of lime juice. Then I put the lid on. Then I shook it all up. Then I waited a few hours for my belly to get hungry. Then I opened it and ate it. Then my taste buds were really happy. Then I was really happy because I have a close knit relationship with muh "buds".
Marghartia cucumber party in my mouth! Seriously though, it was delicious and I think you should try it. They were like healthy, delicious, flavorful chips.
Okay, now for the exciting news!
I get two gou too skewl!
Obviously I need it! Honestly though! I am SOOOO happy/relieved/excited/blessed/thankful/excstatic/awesome/pretty. Maybe I just threw in the last two for good measure. But financial aid got back to us and we got GRANTS! I LOVE THE GOVERNMENT! Between our grants, our scholarships, and our bank account, we have enough to pay for school!! Our conversation over googlechat went something like this.
Me: OH MY CRAP. CHECK YOUR ASU NOW! WE GOT GRANTS!!!!
Him: Oh my gosh!!! Wanna go to disneyland [I bug him about going to disneyland ALL. THE. TIME!]
Me: YESSSS! Let's go now!
Him: Oh my gosh I can't even concentrate on work.
Me: You don't have to! Let's quit our jobs!
So there you have it folks. Aren't you impressed with our maturity? We're adults, let's be serious. I cannot even say how grateful I am. Heavenly Father has blessed us so much lately, I'm in awe. I see His hand in my life everyday. Only now I'm going to cry because this means I have to go to the dentist. I've been avoiding it up until now because "we can't afford it". Well, that excuse is gone, and so is my sanity.
To stay on the topic of gratitude, my friend Breann wrote this post this week that really touched me. Watch that video. It could possible be the best 3 minutes and 26 seconds you spend today. You won't be sorry. You might shed a tear though. I did.

Congratulations! Being married and paying for school is so stressful. We felt the same way when we saw everything get deposited....which is great. Because of Devin's scholarships we used the pell grant money to pay off my four graduate school classes.
I was so happy when you said something about your scholarships on Facebook- that is beyond amazing. I bet so much stress is gone!
YAYAYAYA! Congrats! Stress over money worries is NOT fun. Glad things with school are working out!
