A New Start...

So until recently I've never really had a huge desire to blog. Shortly after Philip and I got married he though it would be fun to have a blog. My response was, "Why? We aren't that interesting. Maybe I'll start blogging when we have a baby." No, there is no baby on the way but I guess over the past year I have realized that we are more interesting than I originally thought :) Phil created the blog and started adding posts, but now I'll try my best to take over.

Phil and I have been staying super busy with school, work, and managing to spend time with each other, family, and friends. So...quick update...Phil is studying biology at UVU and then wants to become a Physician's assistant and I'm at BYU and recently changed my major to school health education with an English teaching minor. Due to this change, I'm quite behind where I'd like to be with school. What can you do though? I figure it's better that I'm excited about my new career path even if it takes a little longer. I met with my advisor today and received good news and bad news. The good new is I'm closer to graduation than I thought...the bad, graduation is still far away. We mapped it out and figure that if I take 18-20 credits each fall/winter semester and 4-5 each spring/summer term, I'll be set to do my student teaching in the fall of 2012. Ok, that many credits sounds like bad news too. But actually I'm really excited about it because it gives me an end to look forward to. It will be hard, but worth it in the end.

Phil has been enjoying intermurals. He plays on our ward flag football team and a soccer team with some of his friends. This is his second semester as a TA for anatomy and he loves it. I am so impressed with his amazing knowledge of the human body and how great he is at helping others learn as well. He is also a great provider and stays very busy at work. I love him!

Well that's the end of my first blog post. Hopefully I can keep this blogging thing up and we don't get too boring!
