This semester has ended up being more stressful than I anticipated. To reduce the stress and save money I will graduate a semester later than I had hoped. So Gerald and I will graduate at the same time! And this way I can spread out the class load so I'm not taking 16-18hrs
every semester and this way I can spend more time with Aurora and on my assignment and hopefully make better grades. This semester I have written a paper a week sometimes three. I made a bug collection (I am pretty proud of it and I will post some pictures of it) I am finalizing a weed collection (this will take hours and days to finish) and a plant disease collection (due in December).
I had been neglecting the state of my house for a while being so caught up in running us all around for school. So on Tuesday I cleaned out our bedroom and threw out a bunch of crap (only mine..Gerald is a pack rat). I put our bed on its frame (It hasn't been on it the entire time we have been in Utah). Gerald did our laundry! I've been better about setting time aside to do the dishes and pick up. I tended to all of my plants (repotting, grooming, watering etc..) Plus our home teachers showed up on Sunday so that is always a good reason to clean the house.
I have made time for holidays and crafts. This is my fall Thanksgiving project.
I love all the Holidays and I have already started listening to Christmas music and It drives gerald crazy. He will love it even more when I put the Christmas stuff out a week before Thanksgiving!
I have been forgetting that it is Halloween on Saturday(I've been thinking about Christmas so much).... but we have a few parties to go to so we are all dressing up. Gerald=Wolverine(it is adorable how excited he is for this),Me=Chick from Star Trek, Aurora=Little red ridding hood. She can say "trick or treat" and "halloween" pretty well. I think we are going to have a lot of fun.
So I think that I have been thinking about Christmas so much for a few reasons
1. The semester will end!!!!!!!
2. we are going to Texas!!!!!
3. I love Christmas decorations
4. I love giving gifts
5. I love Christmas music
6.I love Christmas cookies
