First Blog Ever!

Amy here, I've decided to finally make a blog. We all know how slow I am to switch to new technologies! lol

Ryan and I are both in school - I will be graduating next year, and Ryan hopefully will be graduating sometime in 2012. It's a slow process, but we know it's worth it. I think college is a true test of devotion to something you want to do.

I am majoring in Family and Consumer Sciences Education (or FCS Education; you will here me refer to that often). I don't think I want to teach, but I probably will for a few years to pay off student loans. Teaching has never been a dream of mine, but who knows how life will turn out, right?

Ryan is majoring in Communications with a Broadcasting Emphasis. He hopes to be on TV someday. I'll admit that would be pretty neat to see my husband on TV just about every night because then, even if he isn't home, he's still in our home. :) Then, our kids will be able to see their dad even when he isn't there.

A lot of people have been asking if we have kids yet. In this area, it's actually common for people to have a baby within the first two years of marriage. Just about all of our friends that are married do. We've been married three and a half years, and no, we don't have any children yet. For some reason, a lot of people think that we already have two because we've married this long. I just explain to them, no we don't have any kids, and as much as we wished it would happen to us, it probably won't in the near future. We still trying to figure out why it's not happening. We would like at least three children, but I would in reality enjoy having seven or more. A big family is something that is very important to us and we're willing to adopt is having biological kids don't work out within the next five years. We've decided that if it comes to that, we'll adopt kids that are not newborns. If you think about it, there are so many kids in the system that are stuck there because so many people want a baby to bring home. We want the kids to know that when they join our family, they are ours for the rest of Eternity! They will be just as important to us as a biologically child.

And here I thought this would be a short blog! lol I just love writing.

Random fact about one or both of us:
Amy's favorite food right now is Mentos. Yes, I know that they're a fruity mint, but when you have no appetite, you've got to eat something!
