Week 7: This is the bird that never ends.

I'm getting a little tired of trying to write in story form what I've been up to in the kitchen, so here's a little list action to keep you updated on my progress.

Awesome.
Staying with Kerrianne for a week.
Vampire Diaries marathons.
Rhiannon's baby shower.
Completing the chicken unit.
Making a huge batch of delicious soup, recipe free, that Kerri and I subsisted off all week.
Snuggling with Iggy (Kerri's spazzy, yet loveable pug).
Being around a friend who is awesome, inspiring and totally amazing.
Being halfway through my second class of my first term. T2 is coming fast!
Working as a team to make an awesome dish to end the week.
Making some rockin' lemon-y, hazelnutty brussel sprouts.
Having a curry mashing competition with the chef.
Finally being able to relax and laugh in the kitchen for the first time in a while.
Getting re-motivated.
Celebrating three years of hard work...I mean marriage! :)
Good, hard conversations with friends and family.
Feeling God's hand of grace on my life.

Not so awesome.
Having a few more "down" days in class, feeling like I wasn't doing well.
Not getting all of my proficiencies done by the end of the week, which was my goal.
Taylor being out of town for 8 days.
Having hard conversations with people I love (yet awesome at the same time).
Spending our third wedding anniversary without my other half.
Shedding a few tears.
Not getting nearly enough sleep.

As you can see, and as usual, the good outweighs the bad. What's new with you guys? Is there anyone still reading out there? Bueller?
