I am so relieved and nervous to finally have a meeting scheduled with the woman that holds my fate in her hands tomorrow.  Just to fill you in; I have a very good chance at graduating in May ‘09 but that is only if the people in charge are nice enough to accept the credits I deserve.  I know I have this horrible attitude of entitlement about this; I should be willing to follow their college’s course study and guidelines but if I did it without any leeway I would not be able to graduate until 2010 at least from BSU.  We would move yet again and I would transfer yet again and blah blah.  But I just want to finally accomplish this.  I want to be awarded for the good work I have put in and I just hope they will trust that I will put in a great deal of hard work the one year I am there.  I am just glad to be having a meeting and hoping that I will get some idea of how things could work out. You never know though.  They could say yes yes to everything I want and then the classes could fill up and you are just out of luck.  Anyway, just have me in your prayers please.  My heart stops a little everytime I think of all the things that could go wrong.  But I know this is a righteous desire and that I need to have faith that it will work out oh and I must not forget about patience.  I feel like I have been patient up to this point.

Many times after patients find out I am married they ask if I have any children. I let them know that we have only been married for about 15 months and that we would like to wait for another year or so. They always say, “oh what a good idea; enjoy the time you have now!” Ry and I do have lots of time to enjoy each other right now. So many of our friends who go to school and work never see each other and their lives are insanely busy. Right now it is such a blessing to not be in that situation. We work similar hours and have nights and weekends together. I guess we could make more money (like if he sold security systems or something) but life is not just about that. You have to enjoy it as well and we are getting to know each other at this time in our lives. Of course we do get bored sometimes but thats a normal part of life as well. I know when I get back to the Idaho Shakespeare Festvial this summer everyone will be like what have you been up too?! Not much I will reply and that is the honest truth. Here is what we did this winter! And it was so much fun and so worth it!!

Not the most attractive look for me I know but we were having fun! I could never figure out how to look cute snowboarding. Some girls do. Whatever!

Props to Ry for taking this great action shot. Right after he took this I feel really hard on my bum! I can’t do stuff if I think it is being recorded in some way. But at least you can see that I can actually stand up.

I know Ry looks like he actually gained weight since we were married…its an illusion.

So what have we been doing?!  PLAYING!  Thats pretty much it and I am grateful for this time and memories we have to do this.  Our life will get harder of course!  It always does and I am starting school again.  It will be somewhat hard going to school and working on homework when he has to do NOTHING.  But it will happen to him too when it’s time for grad school.  When that happens I will need these memories just to make it through!
