Senior Stressin' Balls Man!

Well y'all, school is back in action and i am officially a full blown basket-case. I know that Senior year of college is the most difficult with upper division classes and all but I am off of my rocker. I have always had school by the balls, but this semester is a different story. I just feel like there are too many things I have to do and that there aren't enough hours in the day to do them.

Brian is (of course) my rock. He totally keeps me grounded and reminds me that the worst that can happen isn't so bad. In fact, I was telling him the other day that he is "refreshing." Of course, I had to explain this to him...It's like when a parent spends time with their child, they are reminded of all of the little things that can bring joy to your life. Brian is sooo refreshing in that way, he never takes life too seriously and always seems to get the greatest joy out of the smallest things. I really admire that.

Anyway, my classes are tough...I have back to back classes 7am to 7pm two days a week so that I can work the other three days a week. (I'm not a happy camper without money...so i gotta keep workin')

Brian really likes his job here, except for the waking up at 6am part! His old boss from the BLM called him last week to see if he'd be coming back next season. Brian said "no."
HHHAAAALLLLLEEEEELLLLUUUUJJJJJJJJAAAAAHHHHHH!

We are stuck together now. Best glue ever! ; )

Not Too Shabby for Our First House!

I took a crap load of pictures of our house before Christmas so that we could take some home and show em' to my aunts and uncles...here are a few that I took the week before Christmas!

The house is huge, it's 3 bedrooms 2 bath with a 2 car garage! The master bedroom is enourmous...we have a huge bed, 2 couches, a coffee table, a fridge and a big computer desk in our room!

My favorite part of the house is the kitchen...it has a center island in it and it's right next to the living room...so it's easy to entertain and chat while I cook.

Brian's fave part is probably the backyard...it's huge. We are saving up to get a pool in there by 2012! Come visit us...there is a ton of space for visiters!

Our casa with the lights Brian put up. He says he wants it to look like the Clark Griswalds house in that one movie called Christmas Vacation next year! Can't wait.
Our Tree! Pretty good for our first tree ever together! My mom gave us a few decorations...in fact she gave us the tree itself! She had three...so she figured she could part with at least one! ; )

Finally Got Our Halloween 2008 Pictures!

Ok, no joke... B and I were so adult this Halloween. We didn't go out like we did the past few years. We thought it would be fun to stay in and hand out candy to the tots in our neighborhood.

It was our first Halloween in our new casa so we had to do it right. So, we got pumkins and everything!

Here are the pics of the ones we carved and put out front.

P.S-The little kids in our neighborhood are like the cutest things ever! I can't wait to dress my baby up to trick-r-treat....actually I can wait! LOL that's at least 5 years away according to our plans!

I did the cat on the right and Brian did Dracula on the left! I know..they are freaking good aren't they?!

Oh...YES, I did dress up. It was seriously so freakin fun. We had like 13 bags of candy and it was gone by like 10. Probably because I couldn't resist giving each tot at least 5 pieces! LOL Brian kept telling me to stop...but I love spoiling kids. ; )

Handyman Extraordinaire!

Um...wow. I'm not sure what's got into Brian but he has been a handyman gangsta for the last three days. He's completed about 40 projects and I must say it's kinda exciting! Granted, he's been working on the "honey-do" list it took me 4 months to create so he's been working until midnight each night...so i'm not seeing too much of him! : (

Today he built a huge shelving unit(floor to seeling) in the garage! P.S- wood at home depot aint cheep people! But it gave him a chance to use a ton of the tools he got for christmas.

Me, i'v been working, cooking and cleaning. Standard. I actually have been writin' a story for this Cheerleading magazine about this amazing squad who does all this community service. Makes me wanna get more involved...ya know?!

Also, I got a raise today at work...I was totally excited when she sent me the email. No dramatic change... these days every little bit helps. Speaking of work, Brian starts working for Precision Media Systems or PMS as I like to call it...on Monday. He's had a fab 2 months off since the fire season ended...but the fun is over. Time to bring home the bacon again...LOL!

Classes start up for me on the 20th...not looking foward to it so much.
