My favorite time of year!

So I haven't blogged for a while but I have a few minutes before my next class so I think I will. Normally, with a few minutes here and there between classes I like to catch up on reading for school or any homework I have; however, the textbook I need to read right now is extremely graphic and I'm too embarrassed to read it in public. Seriously! What professor assigns you to read such a graphic book, lol. The class is called Human Sexuality (required for my FCHD minor) and it's pretty weird, but...educational? Hahaha who knows..

So right now life is good. Unfortunately I've just failed two exams, so that REALLY sucks but I can't complain. I'm married to my best friend and we're finally on our own and living our own life. I love our apartment (even though we live by some creepy people and there are unexplained odd smells that possess it sometimes) and it's pretty nice for our first place. We still haven't put all of our wedding gifts away because I feel like I need to write my thank-yous first... I'm a little OCD sometimes I think. Peter has to keep me from being a crazy person all the time, lol.

The wedding was amazing :) I don't think if I could I would change one thing about it. Our families were so supportive and helpful and we had almost everything done and ready so we just got to enjoy our day. I'm not only lucky to be married to such a great guy, I'm lucky he has such an awesome family! The honeymoon was great, also. Unfortunately we had to cut it short and change our plans because of school (which started on the 29th) but we still had a great time. With only 3 days we managed to stay in a nice hotel in Salt Lake, visit Zion National Park, zipline, 4-wheel, go horseback-riding, swim, and mini golf. Peter planned the trip and it was just perfect :)

Along with the wedding and school, things have been really really good. My grandma is just getting out of the hospital and her surgery went well and she seems like she's recovering without too much pain. Which makes me sooo happy! I'm going to pick her up today. Work is also going well! I hate starting a new job but I really like the work I do. I'm working at Lincoln Elementary School at an after-school tutoring program. I work mainly with 1st and 2nd graders and they are adorable. I love helping them read and seeing them improve :) just makes me happy!

For the next few months I'll just be trying to catch up in school, adjust to being a newlywed and all of that fun stuff, and working. I'm excited for what's to come and...

OCTOBER! My most favorite time of year! I feel like, even though it's not very close to Halloween, it's right around the corner! I can't wait for it. The only thing that would make things better would be if I were back at the Club making glue ghosts, haunted houses, and reading scary stories. I sure do miss those kids! But I'm really starting to love the kids I work with now as well.

Well that's about it in my life. I'm sure I'm missing some shtuff but that's the gist of it :) I'm happy and things are really going well. I'm so thankful and so blessed :)
