Life

Yesterday at church two women announced they were prego in relief society, and i was like I want one!! But reality check: I am twenty years old, I have 3 and 1/2 years of school left, and we live in an one- bedroom, essentially three room apartment! Maybe its the stress of finals, but i want to be done with school, have kids, have a house, be working in speech therapy, and have ryan come home every day from doing what he loves. But I know that this is a special time in our marriage-- but i keep thinking about the future. Does anyone else ever feel this way? Well that is my ranting for now... merry christmas!!

Finals: The Saga

Well this is our first finals week together, and I must say, we are plodding through it. Ryan did great, of course :P-- he passed his state electrician exam, and got a 99% in his math class!! Yeah!! I'm super proud of him. My finals are going better than expected-- I am 4 for 6, except that I live off of a jump drive. For some reason our home computer has decided that it is just too pretty to work or something, and will take days to load ANYTHING. Except off of a flash drive. Can you tell i'm a little irked? I was trying to order something online while studying, but that just DID NOT work out, so at 8:30 Ryan and I went to the BYU Computer Lab, where of course everything worked fine. But I still haven't got enough studying in. It's funny how when you want to throw your computer out the window you can't really focus on language development. But I am determined!! The saga will go on!! So I will probably edit this on Friday, if I am still alive :P Adios!!

O Christmas Tree!

So I know we're a little behind, but we finally got our Christmas tree!! It is so cute-- it's like five feet tall. The guys at the lot were so nice-- they even tied it down to our car ( Ryan was super excited that he didn't have to-- it was SO cold!)It looked pretty small compared to the other trees on the lot, but once we got into our closet apartment it looked huge!! Right now all we have is a star on the top, cuz we couldn't find/ needed more lights. And it turns out that a twenty-foot garland will not wrap nicely around a five-foot tree. So decorating will commence later. But for now, enjoy the pics of our First Christmas Tree!!

Fun Sunday

So this is mostly for my own memory, but I thought I would write it on my blog. So yesterday in church, we were sitting behind a family with six kids, all pretty young. There were three boys, and the dad was making paper airplanes. Well he was making one for one boy, and fixing another to look like his brothers' ( cuz it was cooler) when suddenly the first boy got upset and elbowed his brother. The dad then crumpled up both planes, and took the boy to the foyer to scold him. Well the other ( innocent) boy was just devastated, and started to cry. The poor mom was across the pew, with a baby and a little girl on her lap, and two kids inbetween, unable to comfort him. I look over at Ryan, who is already folding his program into an airplane. He reached over the pew and gave it to the little boy, who looked at him, and then stopped crying. Ryan continued to play with the two boys, making another paper airplane for another brother and one of those fortune-teller things that were so popular in grade school. But after the song, Ryan told both boys to turn around and fold their arms and close their eyes, which they both did. Haha it was so awesome!! The mom was so thankful. Yeah team Cole!
