Wow! It's been a long time since I've had time to blog but on this lovely Saturday morning, I get to splurge with my time. Nic and I had a great 7-Week break! We didn't get to do a lot of fun things and Nic was working every night but we still did a few great things here and there. I know that we can't wait for the holidays to come around because we finally get to go back to see our families!
It has been an insane few weeks though and the first week of the semester is officially over! We're Juniors, meaning we should have about 2 years left, but because of the fact that we both didn't know what we wanted to do until now, I'm pretty sure we've both been delayed a year. As frustrating as that is, BYU-I has a great program where you can go to school for the 3 semesters out of the year instead of the regular two. It would cost more money, more quickly, but I think that would be our best option because we could be out of here in our supposed to be 2 years. It feels like college is never going to end, but I can't help but be grateful for this time in our lives. Learning is one of my many passions so I enjoy it, but I think that teaching will be one of my passions too. Being married in college has allowed us to have fun and enjoy these years until we're out of here moving onto the next part of our lives.
We moved into our new apartment on August 30, and it was tough! I miss having my family here to help! Nic's friend Kris came over and helped move the big stuff but I think we still have two boxes waiting to be unpacked! Phew moving is not fun! We do love our new apartment! It has two rooms and this time we actually have room for a table. It's so nice to be living somewhere where you can actually breathe! Ha ha, but we're happy to be here.
On September 12 we passed the 6 month mark of being married! Time has flown by faster than I could have ever imagined. We're half-way to our anniversary! Life can get busy and every couple has to flash back to reality every now and then, I can only hope that as the years pass by, we will be able to be just as twitterpated - as the owl in Bambi would call it - as we were the day we were sealed in the temple for eternity. My love for him grows every day and hard times only bring us closer together. I married the perfect man for me. :)
So, we had an adventure to the emergency room last night. All because of something that's never happened before. My elementary art methods class is doing clay pot right now so my teacher gave each of us clay to take home and finish our projects. I started doing it on Thursday night and took a break until yesterday.
Yesterday morning, I found myself itching like crazy and I thought really nothing of it. As the day went on, I noticed welts starting to appear in my fingers, hands, and arms. Once again, I ignored it thinking I may have just bumped myself. I worked on my clay all day and later that night I felt more and more bumps start to appear on my right hand and about an hour after that, my fingers started to swell into a balloon! I started freaking out because I have never been allergic to anything before. Nic came home from work and took me to the hospital, luckily, my throat never closed up and the only thing I was left with was a huge right hand and welts and hives all over my arms and down to my toes. I was given a quick anti-inflammatory shot and a big dose of benadryl that definitely knocked me out for the night. The swelling in my hand went away just about an hour ago, and let me tell you what, I am never touching that clay, or any other clays, ever again. Ha ha.
Besides that adventure, we woke up to a great Saturday, made some homemade waffles (the only ones that Nic loves) and listened to some relaxing Mindy Gledhill. Growing up, Saturday's were always the best day (besides cleaning, of course) so I like to just have as much fun as I can on these days, and fun for me means blasting relaxing music, feeling the beautiful sunrise, eating a delicious breakfast, and dancing around with the man I love. We just soaked up the time that we found in this crazy week to spend together. This semester going to be a hard one but I think we will both do great the next 3 months! Here are a couple pictures from this morning and of course, the post below is a little bit of Mindy Gledhill. (By the way, mom, I love my new apron! Thanks so much! I used it today. I'll put up a picture so you can see it!)
