I haven't posted for a while- besides showing off my new crafts- so {for journaling purposes} I think it's time for a re-cap.
This last month has been a blur. I can't believe that it's almost February. {hold up} I'm not ready! lol
I started Spring Semester in January. Although I planned to take two courses- Bus 3550-Marketing and Acct 2010- Fundamentals of acct. My business class didn't work out so all I'm taking is Accounting.
This worked out because I've never taken an accounting class before and was pretty nervous that I would be overwhelmed. Thus far it has been pretty easy and I have actually enjoyed it. I can now look at my quickbooks tax reports and understand most of what those numbers mean and where they came from, lol.
Although, upon a recent peek into what my first exam will be like....I have a lot of work to do.
Justin and I have been playing co-ed volleyball on Wednesday nights at the rec. center on a team with my Friend Nichole and her family. So far we have won one/lost one every night. {we play 2 games a night} We've been doing pretty well. Last week- I was about ready to scream/stomp off/run away/cry/quit But....I pulled through, lol.
I hate it when your mind says one thing and your body does another then you and everyone else are going "WHERE THE HECK DID THAT COME FROM CHELSIE!"
Quite embarrassing.
Justin has really enjoyed being able to play volleyball again. He hasn't gotten to play since he lived in St. George. He loves being active and being out so this has been really good for him. Plus I missed both of us playing a sport together. I'm getting excited for softball now :D
We've been making slow slow slow progress on the basement. Once we {as in Eric and Justin} got the electrical done we just kind of--slowed...well stopped. Actually it's like we ran into a friggin brick wall- but! Last night we went down and started clearing a path in his gun room so we can finish the electrical in there. Hopefully after that is finished we can get some insulation in the ceiling and start on sheet rock.
I can't wait!
I have to admit that these last few weeks I've been so impatient in getting the basement done that I'm probably driving Justin/everyone I know crazy. It's all I think about and probably all I talk about. But here's why {I am justified}
In my head it goes like this: Finish basement- while it's cold, fix up yard- while it's warm. Then we start stockpiling $ into savings and paying off my car so that when Next October comes we can turn the current guest room into a nursery and...try to have a Baby!!
I am excited. And I feel like if we hurry and get our "To Do" list done- time will go faster.
Not logical, but hey-- It's how my brain is working right now so I'm just going to let this one go.
:D
Anyway.
Life is good. Work is good. We're happy and healthy {knock on wood}.
I made it through church- half a nap- cleaning up the house-cooking dinner for the missionaries- and now I just get to sit and relax.
Success!
{I should actually study my accounting or get my butt on the elliptical}
Things I'm looking forward to in February:
- It will hopefully continue to get warm.
- We can keep making progress in the basement.
- Valentines Day!!
- Hopefully Liddy will cycle so we can get some puppies on the way
- My Semester will be almost half over
- Dan and Wendy coming out to visit! YAY!
- My Birthday-- I'll be 22. {still struggling with this one}
- I'll get to wrap the skirting on the bar in our Kitchen with Bead board!
- One step closer to getting our taxes done
- One month closer to Bonus time!
I laid them out how I wanted and started screwing together the base.
Then we glued/finish nailed the top on and
Now I was having a conversation with my dad the other day about this table I was contemplating building and I told him I thought I was going to use this old barn wood. I love the coloring and character of it and think it's just plain awesome. My little brother was sitting in on the conversation and goes "Why would you want to build something 'new' out of something 'old'"
