Nothing too exciting going on here, but I figured since some poeple do like to hear about what is going on with our life- I better think of something to put on here... so here goes:
Brad and I started our
last semester of undergraduate schooling on January 7. So far, the semester isn't treating us too bad. I don't know if it is because our course load is a little lighter, or if we are just more motivated to push to the end and get done! Maybe a little of both? Brad's classes require a lot of reading this semester, which is different that the past couple of years in the Business school, which generally focus on group projects. So Brad is trying to get used to that. I am taking 4 Nutrition classes- finally! I feel like I have taken every science, physics, chemistry, etc. class possible and now I'm finally getting the nutrition. One of my classes is called "Nutrition through the Life Cycle" and we learn about nutritional requirements for women during pregnancy, for small children, for elderly, you get the idea. It has been quite interesting so far and I am really enjoying all that we are learning.
With this semester, comes later classes. This has allowed me to go the the gym every morning. And with three weeks under my belt, I have only missed going on one day! That's pretty good! I'm sure most people in the gym wonder why I even go, because since my back surgery I am pretty limited in what I can do. I walk on the treadmill, lift *light* weights, and do some core strengthening stretches, along with the occassional bike. Even though I'm not the sweatiest girl when I'm finished, I feel a lot better now that I'm going and getting into better shape.
One bit of exciting news is that Brad got his OFFICIAL starting date for his new job last night. July 22 is the big day!!!! We are constantly looking at housing online to try and get as good of a picture of what there is and what we want before we actually go to visit. Besides the ridiculous amount of money rent costs, we are really excited for for the adventure that awaits us in San Fran. I mailed in my dental hygiene application last week. I won't hear until about April if I've been accepted, and they may not even accept my application because of a 3 credit course I took, instead of their required 4 credit course. I'm crossing my fingers that all will go well, but I know that whatever happens is what the Lord wants for me. It's just hard not knowing yet!
Well, with this weekend comes a Jazz basketball game, a BYU men's volleyball game, Brad's intramural basketball game, and a Sunday visit up to Brad's family... with a lot of homework intermixed.
We are lucky to be healthy, happy, and blessed with such great family and friends. Thank you for all of your love and support as we get ready for this next stage in our life!
