New Background

I am so pleased with myself about finding a new background, that I like. It took some figuring out, but my blog now looks much better.

Today was interesting. I woke up at the normal time, feeling kind of sick, and debated calling in sick. I figured I could tough it out, after all, how hard is it to sit at a desk? So I got to work, and saw that the parking lot was empty. Maybe 10 cars, at most. That made me start wondering if maybe I missed a memo about a meeting or something. I got in to work, and opened my e-mail, and saw that school/work was 2 hours late! If only we'd had internet at our apartment maybe I'd have thought to check and see. Although, there was less than an inch of snow on the ground, and it was pretty much just slush anyway, so why they delayed it is beyond me. I guess it was probably inevitable.

Either way, I went back home, had some food, and laid down for an hour nap. I fell asleep watching Magic Schoolbus, and woke up feeling much better than I did when I left the house this morning. It has been a pretty regular wednesday other than that, and I'm happy to be going home in 6 minutes!

Hello World

I started this blog about a year ago, for posting pictures for a photography class. I didn't love the class for several reasons, but this blog has survived with little to no attention. I've gotten into other people's blogs, but hadn't put any effort into my own. Here I am, a year later somewhat bored at work, and ready to try and blog something more meaningful than a few pictures I scrambled to take to meet an assignment.

Over the past year, I pushed my sanity to the edge, and amazingly enough graduated college early still emotionally intact. I took mad amounts of credits and put my junior and senior years into three semesters, so Daniel and I could move back to Washington. We appreciated Rexburg, but were ready for a change. So with that goal in mind, we went into countdown mode, and waited anxiously for July 18th to roll around. It did...eventually...and we packed our little apartment up into a U-Haul, and made the drive back to the beautiful Northwest. We are now situated in a cute apartment in Olympia, with a washer, dryer, and dishwasher...What more could I ask for from life??

I'm working in the Financial Aid Office at Saint Martin's University and loving it. We're heading out of the slow season, and will be gearing up for the new school year soon, so I may not be bored at work for too long. Daniel will attend school here next January, taking full advantage of tuition remission, and is currently looking for work until then.

We're still happily married, enjoying life together with our Kitty, ready for each new adventure.
