New Semester

I can't believe that we're into another semester! It's going well so far, but it keeps me extremely busy. And Ryan has it worked out that he has plenty of time to study his spanish lessons. He'll be fluent in no time, I'm sure. He's also signed up lifeguarding and gets a good workout twice a week.

I have seven classes and I am feeling slightly overwhelmed, which I'm not sure why because I have enough time to get everything done. I have four gym classes which are amazing for getting me in shape. The first is my weight training class. Today we worked with heavy squat bars, medicine balls, and finished class with Alpines. (Doing a million stairs it seemed like.) I then went straight to Aerobics and we did kickboxing. I had a hard time keeping up because she was going so fast, but I still had loads of fun. I felt exhausted afterward, but I couldn't stop there, I had to get to Archery. My teacher thinks I'm really good. I would have to agree with him because I rarely missed the bullseye. If I was going to be in school longer I would take the next two classes. Ryan says he wants to get me a bow. I would certainly be okay with that. :) When lunch was over I went to my beginning piano class, which I thoroughly enjoy. It gives me a reason to start practicing again. Now that I'm not being forced to play, I am finding it quite relaxing.

Tomorrow I have volleyball with my friend Chris. It's been awhile since we've had one together, so this is really nice. He's always helping me improve my technique. With volleyball being one of my favorite sports, I'd like to actually be good at it. I hope we can get a volleyball net someday soon. Also on the agenda is church history which is fascinating to me - we're dealing with the apostasy right now - and I'm never board in that class. And last on the list is food science. I took that because I wanted to. I love Fridays because we get to mess with food. Last week we had an oatmeal cookie receipe where each partnership had to change one thing about the receipe. Mine was to remove half the margarine. Needless to say, it didn't turn out very good. But then, that's the point of the procedure.

Trying to get my daily schedule figured out has been a nightmare, but I think I'm starting to fall into a routine finally. Yea! Hopefully this week we'll both get a little more sleep!

Utah

Wow! It's good to be home again! I love seeing my family and friends! It's nice to be able to catch up on sleep too. I miss Ryan a lot though. He's at home working hard at completing his certification to become a coach. I'm sure that will come in handy one day.

We're both enjoying our week off from school - I think both of our brains are dead. lol I'm scared to see what my brain will be like after graduation! lol I'm excited for school to overwith and my life to begin. I'll always look back on my BYU-I experience with fondness, but it's time to move on.

So I'm curious to know, when does everyone start their Christmas shopping? I usually start mine in July, but we'll see with graduation being the way it is. I'm just curious, that all. Let me know!

Migraines

I still can't believe I've had a migraine headache for about two weeks now! If anyone has any advice on how to get rid of one, I would love to hear about it. They ruin my day and I can't think properly when I have a headache this bad. For example, today at work I walked into the wrong building and I was there for 15 minutes before I realized it. And I'm having a hard time forming complete sentences. I must be pretty funny to talk to. It's a good thing finals will be over after tomorrow for both of us! Then it a few days of working, but mostly relaxing. Then, it's off to Utah for a mimi vaction for me. Hopefully Ryan won't starve.

Finals and Easter

I can't believe Finals and Easter are already upon us!!! Ryan and I are not too worried about our finals - ours all are on Tuesday and they're not a big deal. A little studying and we'll be fine.

I am so excited for Easter! I have plans for this weekend! Today I will be cleaning my house like a madwoman after I run all of my errands. I will also be boiling a couple dozen eggs. Tomorrow will be all about the Jello. I want to make Jello eggs and Jello beans with all of the molds I have. Also, I will be making a Jello cake. Easter is my Jello holiday. Plus, conference is this weekend, and I am excited to see what it has to offer for me. Saturday evening, I set up a blind date between my two friends Heidi and Chris. They are coming over to help me dye the boiled eggs.

Easter Sunday will be nice - I'll be baking a ham, making deviled eggs, and something with potatoes. Not too much, so I can sit back and enjoy conference with my husband and my friend Chris. I also want to start working on my sister-in-law's blanket. I can't wait for her to see it, and I hope I'm finished with by July when she comes up. (Well, at least, I hope she comes up.)

We're done with homework for the semester, so we're looking forward to just enjoying this weekend together.
