Good Day for the Cook's

I am happy to announce that Rob is DONE with calculus. Today he took his final and feels like he did pretty good. We won't know his grade till later, but I am so proud of him. He really put A LOT of time into this class this summer. I also want to say thanks to my Dad. He was a great big help for Rob in this class and spend countless hours and nights staying up with Rob. THANKS DAD! Anyway, we are so happy that there will be no more homework. Oh ya, and I finished my class too, so that is fun as well, but I will admit that mine was a thousand times easier. In celebration of Rob's last day I made him some Awesome tissue paper flowers at work in arts and crafts and a card too. Tonight in celebration of our first week night with nothing to do we are going to go see Batman.... HAPPY DAY!

Fishy Fun!!

For the 4th of July, Rob and I went camping with my family and my aunt and her family up in the White Mountains. It was so nice to get away, especially from homework. We had so much fun and Rob was super excited that he finally got to use all the camping stuff that we got for our wedding, which worked great. It rained on us everyday, but it was still really nice. On the 4th we went into Showlow and watched the fireworks and had a picnic at a lake. Other then that, we had a lot of fun fishing, playing games, having races, hanging with the family, and trying to scare my sister who is deathly afraid of bears :). Saturday when we were fishing, Rob slipped on a rock and messed up his thumb pretty bad. It is all swollen and black and blue, but luckily shortly after that he caught a fish, so it was all worth it, I hope. We were glad that we got to get away and have a great time with the family. Here are some pics....

Sorry that it has been so long since I posted. Life has been busy for the last little while. The most exciting news is that Rob and I are DONE with this semester.... it is one of the best feelings ever. We are excited to be out, but now we are in Summer School :(. Oh well. Last weekend, before we started summer school, Rob and I got to go to Phoenix and stay in a resort. When we got married we stayed at this resort and Rob filled out one of those dumb survey things that they give you and we won 2 free night. He has good luck I guess, because I would have never won. It was a lot of fun. The weather was kinda cold, but it actually worked out great and we were able to do a lot of stuff outside in May without it being 105 degrees outside. Friday we went to the temple and went out to eat and then Rob took me on a Gondola ride and a guy sung an Italian love song to us. It was really cute and I was super impressed with Rob's planning.
Saturday, when we woke up we really wanted some bagels, so we tried to go and find a place. We had gone to a bagel place once when we were up there down by ASU, so we decided to try and find it. That was a bad idea though. We looked for like an hour and then when we finally found it was torn down. oh well. We then went shopping, which I always love. We went to the Tempe Market Place shopping area and that is a really cool place. I would not suggest it during summer since it is outside, but that was school. We went to shopping at some other places and then later we went to this really cool park and ate dinner and went on a paddle boat. Rob Loved it.
Anyway, in other news, we are super excited that my sister is getting married next week and can't wait to celebrate with her!! I love weddings and getting all dressed up for them. I will post some picture from the wedding next week!

Carrie Underwood!!

I LOVE Carrie Underwood. I remember watching her on American Idol and hoping that she would win. I thought she was so beautiful! She is one of my favorite artists and Friday night Rob and I got to see her in concert. I was so happy and her concert was sooooo good! She sung with Josh Tuner and he is really good too. He has such a deep voice it is crazy. They both are great performers and sound exactly like they do on the radio. I would even go as far as saying that they sound better then Tim and Faith live. Anyway, we had lots of fun. My little brother came with us and Shanna and Brian were at the concert too, but not next to us, so that was fun. Rob was a happy camper because she sung his favorite song, "American Girl," don't tell him I told you. :) We forgot to take pictures, so sorry I don't have much to show.

In other news, Rob and I are almost done with school. This is our last week of class and then just finals. We are so excited for it to be summer. We are both going to take summer school, but one class shouldn't be so bad. Other than that, nothing too special is going on. Our Cat-friend is still bothering us and Rob swears that if it doesn't go away soon he is going to march upstairs to the people's door that he thinks own the cat and tell them that their cat is annoying. I know he won't do it though.

Does anyone have a shot gun that we can borrow????

Rob and I have a furry friend that likes to come and visit us EVERY night. I would not consider him a friend, but for some reason he must think that we like seeing him because without fail he comes to visit each night. There is this cat that lives in our apartment complex. We are not sure if the cat belongs to someone, but I am ready to kill it (I would never really kill it..... but only because Rob won't let me). It is funny because the cat only shows up when Rob and I are studying. It used to only come around at night, but yesterday it arrived at 5. It sits outside our apartment on the curb below us and MEOWS uncontrollably. It is not your typical meow either, it sounds like it is dying. Rob felt bad for the cat when it first came around because we thought that is was really dying or something because of the horrific noise that it was making. So, Rob tired to go look at the cat, but that was a mistake because it wanted into our apartment. Now it just MEOWS non stop until we stop studying. It doesn't matter what time we go to bed, the cat is a faithful friend and stays up with us no matter how late. Last night it was hot in our apartment so we opened the sliding door and left the screen shut. The next thing I know the stupid cat was trying to claw through the screen and torturing us with that annoying MEOW. So, if anyone has a shot gun and likes to kill stuff, Rob and I have a good target awaiting you.

All we can say when we see this cat is GURRRRRRRR!!

I am so Happy...

I am so happy that I finally figured out how to make my own background. It took time but I had nothing else to do because I was trying not to bother Rob because he was supposedly studying (I should be too), but then look what I found.... Rob was studying so hard.... :)

I will give him credit though. He has been studying all day, so he is probably tired. Anyway, I am just happy I figured out how to make my own background.
