Studying Hard and Hardly Studying

Steven has been studying SO hard for the GRE. (He's taking it the 7th of September, so send lots of prayers our way!) I have been totally amazed. He's planned out his 7 week break to become a 7 week study session, basically.
And he's doing so AWESOME.
It's been fun for me to keep myself busy and let him study. But when we have meals together or I know he's taking a break and relaxing I just spurt out all the ideas and things that I wanted to mention to him while he was studying.
It's been fun to have him learn all these huge words that you only ever hear in books that are ancient or old movies or something. He tries to insert them into our every day conversation. It's rather funny.


I, on the other hand, have been relaxing quite a bit. I got my wisdom teeth removed and have been watching shows and slurping up smoothies for a while. This summer has been so lovely.
Even though I haven't been studying, I have been focusing on my violin studio.
So fun.
My little students are such a joy.
I've created a little studio in my apartment. It's really just a corner in my apartment, but it's quaint and looks nice. Even though it's just out of my little apartment, I try and keep it as professional as possible. What do you think, readers? Would you frown upon a teacher in a little apartment? After all, I think it costs less because there are no studio fees!



The Tomato Plant:

For Mother's Day in our ward, we received a tomato plant each. I have to say, I was a bit jealous of those sisters who actually got chocolate and little cakes for Mother's Day!
But our plant has really gone above and beyond. Really.




Well, lengthwise, anyway.

We've really only gotten two tomatoes out of the whole plant, but it sure just grew. Our windows are quite tall and this plant grew up to our ceiling!
