A blog worthy week!

This week has definitely been blog worthy. After moving out of the Colony (apartments) to our condo we tried to apply for instate tuition and were denied.
Then we appealed (I totally went in front of a panel of people and everything)...and were denied. All because Ty was subbing and taking masters classes. He didn't have what they considered a "steady full-time job".
So now that he's teaching, we thought we'd give it another shot...and this week we got the letter!

Dear Ms Heid:

I am very pleased to inform you that you are considered a resident of the state of Pennsylvania for tuition purposes...

Yeah! This will save us sooo much money.


AND, I was reimbursed for a ticket for parking in a spot in Philly (behind the van) with a parking meter with this sign. They told me this was a tow zone, but I took a picture of a sign a block away with a towing sign on it. My sign clearly didn't have the No Parking, tow away stuff on it. At first the traffic judge didn't let me win my case, telling me I wouldn't until I mailed in the picture of the sign a block away. So I did. And now I don't have to pay the 40 bucks. I know, it's not much, Ty said I should have just paid it, but I just couldn't do it! I got my inspiration from Janell Gregerson. She's the best at getting out of stupid tickets!






And finally, we had an awesome weekend. On Fri. we went to our first professional indoor lacrosse game with some friends in our ward. I guess "The Philadelphia Wings" are really good. The game was at the Wachovia center. The game was a mixture of a hockey game and a rock concert, but they were using lacrosse sticks. There were fights and everything! We won (in case you don't keep up on the team like us). Oh, and our friend's two sons had a high school lacrosse scrimmage after the professional game (on the same field) so we were able to see them play too. I definitely will be going to more Lacrosse games in the future.














On Saturday we went to the Temple with the Carrs. It was really nice. And seriously, if you want your temple drive to seem like it is only 30 minutes, then go with Greg and Jenna. Ty and I have decided that going with friends to the temple has been so much more fun than going with just us. And the drive sure goes a lot quicker. We've had the chance to go with a lot of different friends to the temple and it's always really fun. The rest of the night we hung out at the good old Colony Arms apartment eating and playing games. Fun times. Oh yeah, and Tyler wanted to remind everyone that he dominated Ticket To Ride, twice. He's so humble.
