The Good Life

I have really enjoyed the last few weeks. I am finally done with my online classes which drops my course load from 20 credits to 13. This not only makes my life less stressful but allows me to do more of the things I would like to do. One of the things that I really missed doing, even though I know it sounds corny, is doing house work. I truly believe that this last week has been the first time I have been caught up on laundry, dishes and cleaning it quite some time. Justin has honestly forgotten where things “really” go, he didn’t even think to look for his clothes in the dresser.
Last weekend we went to Salt Lake City. We spent the previous weekend there too, but I ended up having to go down again to take the TEAS test (it’s a test to get into nursing school). I did really well on the test. It was also part two of birthday week (Justin’s birthday). Michele took us out to a lovely birthday dinner where we shared Justin’s special day with the table next to us. We always enjoy spending time with the Michele’s Family and we all enjoyed the birthday brownie.
The only other thing that has been going on here in Burley is that last night I volunteered at an AIDS awareness convention. It was put on by the World Vision Company. It was very moving and I enjoyed volunteering. I spent the night handing out head phones and IPods for the guided tour. I have to admit the reason I signed up is because I got extra credit in my Microbiology class but I have vowed to do more volunteer work. Life is slowing down and now we are in the waiting stage. I sent in my Application for nursing school on Tuesday, all fingers crossed.
Oh and Justin got a promotion at work, which means a little raise but also working some nights. So it looks like I have the bed to myself tonight.
