I don't know how everyone else keeps up on these things all the time. Maybe it's easier when you have kids and things are always changing. For Malone and I, things aren't too exciting! Since I wrote last, we have finally finished this semester of school. I think I can speak for both of us when I say it was a long semester! Last Friday, the 12th, was our last day. Malone will be off during the winter semester and I'll be right back in classes again. I think we both made it out with pretty decent grades. I am going to miss seeing my friends I made in my classes. I really haven't had much of a social life since we've been married, so having friends in class has been a highlight! (Sad isn't it?)
As far as classes for next semester, I will be looking forward to my first oil painting class. I've never really painted before. So this will be a big step for me! Unfortunately I'll have to buy all the supplies which can add up. Hopefully we won't go broke over it! I also get to look forward to my first Intro to Illustration class. Illustration is what I really want to do with this Art Degree ( in case anyone is wondering what I'm planning on! ). I'd love to be able to write and illustrate my own books. That would be the best! It'll be alot of work. I just hope I have the willpower to really reach all these goals. Sometimes they seem so out of reach for me! Anyway, I have other goals other than just career wise. I've been wanting to shed a couple pounds and I can't seem to motivate myself to get up and go. So, I signed up for an aerobics class for next semester. It should really kick my butt, which is what I need. We'll see how it goes! Chances are I'll be complaining about it, but I know it's for the best. I am also going to take a guitar class. Random right? I've always wanted to learn. I got a guitar for christmas a couple years back and I really don't even know how to play it. So, just for fun, I am going to take a class. We'll see how that goes too! There's a chance I might drop a few classes and go part time next semester... we'll see. It'd be best if I just got school over with already, but it gets overwhelming sometimes with all these credits.
Malone is hoping to get more hours at work. It'd really be good for us to get some extra cash while he is on break. So more hours means more time Malone is gone. I always miss him when he's gone. I come home from work at about 6 or so and just chill until he comes home at 11-11:30 at night. Usually he comes home around 8 for dinner for about 20 minutes, and then he's off again. He says he likes working. I think he just likes to be busy. I decided that I need to find more stuff to do so I don't get lonely! I need a life!
So far this winter has been chilly! I hate going outside! This week I've been filling in for a girl at work in the morning, so I have to get up super early to get to work on time. Malone has gotten up early to scrape my windows and warm up the car for me before I go to work. What a wonderful husband! We'll see how long that lasts haha. But the extra hours this week is a great blessing. I love going to work!
Malone and I are way excited for our first Christmas together. We borrowed a tree from my parents and put it up in our little apartment. It was hard making space for it, but totally worth it! We didn't have any decorations to put on it, so we made a trip to the dollar store and just bought some cheap ornaments for like 4 dollars and a couple strings of lights. It's a cute little tree. I just put some presents under it yesterday and it's so fun! Over the years my roomates and I never once had a tree. So it's way fun to have it in my home! I went shopping for Malone yesterday and bought a few things. Funny how our wants turn into needs. I think this year was the first time I put socks on my wish list! Anyway, I bought a few things I felt like Malone needed. His birthday is 3 days after Christmas, so I've been looking into buying a few more things for that.
Anyway, that's all I've got for now. Travel safe everyone!! Happy Holidays!
