Just an update on my life.

I finished my first semester at BYU. I got a B- in my mythology class, so at least I didn't fail it. I was actually pretty happy about it, considering how much work I put in. Oops.

Ben has me eating things that I just didn't eat before. Like bacon. And jerky.

We got a bread machine and a Blendtec. We are doing a lot better with eating healthy. We eat wheat pancakes (no sugar), German pancakes (wheat flour, no sugar) with real maple syrup (no sugar), eggs, or a green smoothie for breakfast. Ben's big on breakfast. Especially eggs, for the protein. I made my first loaf of bread with our bread machine two days ago. It was so good (also wheat flour, no sugar). It's already gone. Now that we're starting to get settled, we're doing a lot better at eating better than we were when we were first married.

I applied to Wells Fargo, as a teller. Ben's working on getting me an interview, and then hopefully I can start working. Right now, without school or work, I'm basically doing nothing. Now with dance done, that's literally true. I'm going to go insane soon.

Also, I changed my major from Psychology to Family and Consumer Science Education. This is why. A bachelor's degree in Psych is basically useless unless you use it as a stepping stone to more education. Ben and I both want to have kids now. SO badly. But, we're waiting, because now is not the right time. We want to finish school first (especially me) and I want to be on BYU's folk dance team, not to mention dance. Also, we want to be able to save up a 20% down payment on our home (which we want to buy when Ben finishes school) and kids are so expensive. With school and me not working (which if we had a child right now, that's what would happen) on top of that expense, there's no way we would be able to do that. So. Here's our plan.

We'll both work part time, go to school full time and finish as fast as we can. We'll save as much as we can and when we're finished, we'll buy a house. Then, we'll have kids :) and all the rest of the stuff that happens with a family will follow.

Here's the other thing about my major. The classes that I need to take for the major are so me. Things like meal planning in the home, or nutrition. There are some classes (like organic chemistry or sewing) that I'm not really looking forward to, but that's how it is with every major. I am so excited about this major. So excited.

Well. That's it. Ben and I are still in love and happy, of course. We love our apartment and are figuring things our for the future. In the meantime, we love where we are.
