So Doug and I are both in school this semester. We've been married for two years and this is something we've never experienced yet! So we'll see how much we want to kill each other by the end of it all. :) School is a bit crazy this time around. Doug is taking 12 credits and I'm taking 16. We're both working. Doug even just got offered a new job on campus as a Lab assistant in the Spori computer lab. He was sitting in class after it had gotten out and his teacher came back in the room and asked, "hey, do you need a job?" and it just so happened that the very day before, Doug had decided to look for a second job. For some reason, God loves to bless us.
Doug's birthday was last week and we had a few friends and his sisters come over to celebrate. Alyssa (Doug's sister) hung balloons up all over the ceiling and crepe paper on our ceiling fans. I haven't taken them down yet, because they just make everything feel so happy and festive. I think I'll keep them up till the balloons start getting gimpy.
I'm taking a religion class this semester, the New Testament. My teacher challenged us to read the scriptures everyday for an hour and preferably in the morning. In order to do that I have to wake up at 5am everyday before getting ready for school. But it's been so worth it. I have started really looking forward to it. I keep a journal with me to write down insights and thoughts. I highly recommend studying this way. It has made such a huge difference in my life already. I'm hoping to really make it a life-long habit.
My friends Stephanie and Emil just got married on January 30th. I'm so happy for them! They're up here in Rexburg and they are just about the cutest couple ever. :) It's nice to have some more married friends.
Well that's about all the latest news. I'll let you know how school turns out.
