sharpen your #2s...

howie is in his second exam of the week- three more to go after this. (including the dreaded accounting!) that means that after this week "classes" are over, and the next few weeks will be spent finishing up papers, preparing for their south africa trip, and some electives. howie will be traveling to mexico for a conference, because of his team's 2nd place finish in the video contest. even though he will have plenty to do, it will be great to be done with the 8 hour lecture days and move on to something new.

i can't believe june is here already and in just a couple of hours mom and dad are arriving! we've got some fun things planned, including a trip to prague to get a taste of the country where about 1/2 of my ancestors originated. hopefully we'll spend some time relaxing by the lake, too.

i've been recovering from last week's visit from erin and rob (& poppy)- we had a great time in the alps, lucerne, and lausanne. lots of cheese eating, wine drinking and good times with great friends! i am slowly catching up on my recent travels, so more coming soon :)

i've cooked a couple of great things recently- these meatball subs were amazing(!) and this cake is sitting in my kitchen and i'm trying not to eat it all...

(p.s. the swiss strawberries are so delicious right now!)
