The life of us:

Well, I guess I'm officially an Army wife.
Brian leaves at the end of may. BOO. But when we are together again we'll have a lot of good things going for us. YAY :)
I'm moving in with my inlaws, which, while it will take some adjusting, is a very good thing. I am also planning on going back to school in the fall to finish my BA and get through a credential program to become a teacher.
God has been very good to us over the last few months.
No...I'm not pregnant yet. Probably wont be for at least a few years. I think I've been asked about 1500 times in the last few weeks. Not that I really mind of course :)

Holidays and Hair

I'm so glad that the holidays are here :) I'm ready for them! Well, not ready ready. I still have yet to start my Christmas shopping, or rather Christmas buying. I've shopped some, but haven't found quite the right things to buy yet.  Usually I don't like to start hearing Christmas music until after Thanksgiving, but on Thursday night after worship practice, our worship leader started playing silent night on his guitar, and that really got me in  the mood for it.

So last Saturday I cut my hair. It's really short now. I've been getting a lot of compliments about it which makes me happy. I do have to actually do it now. And it's way too short to put into a pony tail. It's ok though, until the excitement of it wears off I'll be happy with it :)

I go off track from school next week. My last day is Tuesday and then I don't have to be back until January 3rd. It's going to be so nice because I still get my regular paycheck from the school district, but I'll be also be able to work way more hours at the restaurant, so I'll get to pick up some extra cash for the holidays. Brian and I are also hoping to go off and do something for our anniversary which was back in October. We still haven't decided what, but it will be so nice to get away.
Well, I guess thats it for this post. Nothing too exciting. I'll post more though as I'm sure something interesting will happen one of these days :)

Life update from the Stevens

Well, I suppose that it's time to update as it has been quite a while.

Work is going well. I'm getting to know my coworkers better which is helping. For a while there I kind of felt like the new kid at school (haha). I was also offered the opportunity to add an extra hour onto my day for the next few weeks, so that will be a little more money, yay! I am getting more frustrated with serving tables though. I feel like my manager and I are clashing some. I don't know if it's just me or not, but it seems like she has a problem with me. I actually think it's her attitude with everyone as I have heard some other people kind of complain about it, but it's really starting to bug me. The last thing I need right now is a manager who doesn't like me, so I'm trying to brush things off as much as possible, and also working on things I know I need improvement on when it comes to that job. Anyway, so that's that.

I thought that I was getting sick yesterday. 'Tis the season. There are at least four or five kids in my class who are...three of which are the ones that I work with the most. I took a ton of Zicam though and it seems to be much better today. I'm going to stick with that and hopefully it won't come back. Poor Brian was sick a couple of weeks ago with food poisoning. It was horrible. I've never seen anyone throw up that much. We had sushi that afternoon for lunch. No bueno. The weird thing is we all ate the same thing (there were 5 of us) but only Brian got that sick. His dad got a touch of it later that night, but nothing like my poor sweetie.

It's nice having the internet back. As you may or may not have noticed, Brian and I canceled with comcast for a few weeks and we were internetless. They  were charging us different prices than what we had been told we would pay, and for services they never performed, so we got mad and left them. I still haven't had TV for the last two months, its been weird. I do know that I watched it too much, but I miss that availability of relaxation that it provides, and my cooking shows :( At least I still have my movies. Not that it seems like anything good has really come out lately.

Brian and I have our 1 year anniversary coming up on the 20th :) I'm excited. We actually aren't doing much, as we both have to be in different placed during the day. We do hope to go out of town in December (assuming we can afford it) and make up for it. Nothing too exciting, just some time away. I'm off of school that month, so it should work out.

I've been trying to bake a lot more. I went out and bought some kitchen tools that I didn't have yet, and a bunch of ingredients that will hopefully last me a while. So far I've managed to make my chocolate chip cookies turn out better than I ever have, my first attempt at an apple pie turned out pretty good (especially the crust which I heard is the hardest part). I had to make the filling twice though because, despite assurance from the recipe that it would keep overnight in the fridge before putting it into the pie, it did not.  I also made a chocolate flourless cake which was super rich, but really good. Tomorrow (I hope) I shall try a roll cake. Hopefully by Christmas I'll have lots of goodies under my sleave.

Well, that I think that's it for the time being. Hopefully I'll have the chance and incentive to post again soon rather than later.

Well, I've worked two shifts at the school so far, and things are going pretty good. I've been able to meet both kids now (one was a no show on monday) and discern what both need to work at. I think I also have a good idea about their personalities so I kind of know what I can do, say, and how far I should push them in certain areas and such. I'm still waiting to hear back from HR to officially offer me the job...right now I'm still only cleared to work as a sub. Hopefully that will happen soon.

I think it will take some getting used to working these two jobs. I think I will struggle with my sleeping schedule. Like last night I had to close at Zin (which was nice..I made good money), but I didn't get home until 10:30...and I wasn't able to wind down enough to go to sleep until 1am. And then I had to be up at 7am today. I have a feeling that this is going to be somewhat typical. I took a huge nap when I finished lunch today...I guess that's just what I'm going to have to do, which works. I also think my body is still slightly trying to recover from my cold last week.  I feel fine today but I don't think I should push it too much.  I did that monday and then wasn't feeling good again tuesday.

Guess what?! I got to eat a Krispy Kreme a few minutes ago! Brian was in the area of one of their stores and brought one back for me. I popped it into the microwave and presto chango.... absolute deliciousness. It made me quite happy :) Ever since my cold, my appetite has shrunk. It's been great since I'm trying to cut back on the calories, but today I think counteracted my eating less with just shoving in caloris. It wasn't my fault though. Brian brings me a donut, and I had a coupon for a free real fruit smoothie at jack in the box...what was I supposed to do? (of course since I was already at jack in the box I had to order one of their new chipotle flat bread sandwiches...there was no denying it).
