2011

It's a brand new year, full of possibilities. There is so much that David and I are looking forward to this year. The first is a new semester. This holiday vacation has been great, but at times can be monotonous. I am looking forward to taking four classes and keeping busy, all the while learning something new everyday.
On that topic, David and I are planning on graduating this year. We don't have an exact date set, mostly due to the fact that we can't rush ourselves. With two boys, work, and two full time school schedules, our time needs to be carefully managed. There are a couple classes we need to take online, but that should be a cinch since we will do it together. I am absolutely thrilled to finally be graduating after so many years of trying to figure out what I want to do with my future. A year and a half ago I discovered my passion: Psychology. I immediately took it and ran; haven't looked back yet. We will start making plans for where we want to get our bachelors, after we graduate. I am hoping to get a good turn out of family, and I want it to make a big impression on our boys. Gage starts Kindergarten next year, and we will eventually be moving so he won't have to endure TISD for very long. I will be looking for a job right after graduation, and Missouri will be the first place I look. If David and I can both get decent jobs in our field, then we will make arrangements to move.
Christmas was overall a success. It was very tiring for me, even though I couldn't sleep all that night. My house was trashed, but when I finally got it cleaned it was such a relief. I am still thoroughly enjoying the books my mom sent. They are outstanding. My boys have been rotting their brains with video games, as much as I will let them. David and I are doing fantastic, better than ever. Our boys are sprouting up like crazy. Everything is just great.
I think that this year will be full of changes and adventures. I am anxious to leap forward and grab the bull by its horns. :)
