I'm a tile laying machine!

So, this past week I have been helping Jacob clean, paint, and lay flooring in his new house. Yesterday we learned to lay tile. Yes people, tile. And it wasn't the kind with the sticky papers on the back that you peel off and lay down.. this was real tile with real mortar that had to be layed first and then straightened out. Can you say exhaustion? We worked for three hours and almost finished the livingroom. My knees and back were so sore from kneeling and bending over. We still have to get the edges and cut pieces, but we are still off to a good start, I think. The last hour of working we had come up with a system and it worked very nicely: I smeared the mortar and Jacob layed the tile. I didn't get home til almost 1 a.m.
I really enjoyed getting to learn though and I can now say that I know how to lay tile! :)

Yesterday I got to have lunch with my wonderful friend, Jennifer. We went to Lenny's Sub Shop... sooo yummy! We hadn't seen eachother in a while so it was nice to be able to sit down and chat.
Spring Break is this week and it's been sooo nice not to have to sit in a class room at night. I am NOT ready to start back up Monday, but I suppose the quicker I begin, the quicker I can end. This year will most likely be my last semester, I think. I would like to dive into my photography and challenge myself. I am learning that it's not very easy... sometimes the pictures that I take don't turn out the way I envisioned them and it can be a little discouraging. But, if Thomas Edison had given up on the first, second, or even third try, we might not have the light bulb today! Right?! So, yes, that's what I keep telling myself.

This weekend my bestie is running off to Atlanta and leaving me... her and Will are going to Market with Will's parents. I am going to miss her soooooooo much!! I haven't been able to see her hardly at all this week because things have been so crazy... sadness. But the good thing is I know that we can go a week without seeing each other and I know that she still loves me bunches :) --but, I would rather NOT go a week without seeing Grace. Haha. I think I will just work and help Jacob with his house since I will have nothing else to do. And, I believe I am going to stop typing now because my writing is becoming a little random and... boring. :)
