Nothing going on

I am sitting in Rick's office right now, and I don't really have anything better to do than sit hre and type away at my blog. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I always forget to check for comments on my blog, so if you ever leave one, and i don't reply for like 10 yrs, don't feel slighted. It's not personal.

This week has been and will continue to be the week of tests. I had two yesterday and one today, and I have one tomorrow and the next day as well. So much fun.

I have to say, I feel a little trite when writing my blog. Everyone else talks about their super cute kids and I don't have any kids, or any prospects of having one anytime soon. I don't know this for a fact, but getting pregnant isn't working out so well for us. We have been trying for a year and still nothing. Keep us in your prayers, specifically, pray that we will get pregnant really soon, like maybe in the next few days!

It has been a while since I last got on here, so I guess it's time. I came to my computer desk looking for my speeding ticket so I can go online and do my traffic school, and ending up checking email, family websites, and now here I am!

This week has been fun! I took two tests and did really well on them (I expected a lot worse), and I am more than halfway through the semester. I have been learning a lot, and, although I am still not a fan of studying, I still like school.

We finally got a close date for our house and it is 12/12, so we will hopefully be in by the 15th. I hope not any later, because Rick and I invited my family to come spend Christmas with us, and I'd like to have everything in it's place before they come. I'm going to put my older siblings to work painting the upstairs for me when they get here though, and the extra help will be nice. Shhhh...I haven't told them the good news yet!

Rick and I went to an outlet mall an hour or so from our house yesterday, and, let me tell ya...nothing more depressing than going shopping with someone who finds things that fit wonderfully in every single store. This is depressing because while Rick bought five or six things that look great on him, I only found two! I blame my genes for my jeans that don't fit! It's probably best I didn't find anything though, because we have been spending way too much money.

That's all for now, folks!

New, NEW house!

I finally have news so I can write something again! We backed out of our house today because we found a house that we absolutely love, fully upgraded, it's 2700 sq ft instead of 2150, and it is $40,000 less! We are so excited and I love my house! Our other house was done in two weeks and this one won't be done till Dec, but it is well worth the wait.

I am now in my fourth week of school and waiting for the semester to be over already. I really like my business class, and so far I haven't really had to study, so I'm golden. Hopefully I can maintain this trend through the end of the year.

My doggies are still doing well, and we love them more than ever. Still waiting for a baby to decide she wants to live in my belly for a few months though... Hopefully soon.

I love running. As I have before mentioned, I am training for a marathon, and I am having so much fun! I have always wanted to be a runner, like my dad and Grandfather, but have always wimped out at the slightest discomfort. I have now been running for about two months, at least four times a week, and it is so cool to see how fast you progress when you really work at something, and how, when you make up your mind to do something, all the huge obsticles (before) seem to be nothing at all.

This was my first week of school and it blew by. All my teachers are very entertaining, and I am sure I am going to enjoy this semester. My favorite classes so far are history and COM 101, but I truly enjoy all of them because of the teachers.

I got a new couch! Rick and I wanted a sectional for our new house, but I couldn't find one that I liked. We finally found one that we decided to get when we moved in, but I was just getting it because it was the best I could find. Then, the other day, I went into this furniture store and I found my couch! It is huge and has super comfortable down cushions and I'm in love. I bought it and they are going to deliver it when we move into our new house, which is good, because I didn't know where I was going to put it, because we already have livingroom furniture in our apartment. Only four more weeks and we will be in! Yay!

I gave Lola her first haircut the other day, and she looks so much thinner. I love that dog. She is so sweet and cuddly and mellow, unlike her counterpart, Izzy. I can't wait till I have dogs AND babies.

So I start school on Monday and I am not looking forward to it. I am taking 15 credits, and for someone who strongly dislikes studying, this is not a nice prospect. At least all 15 credits will go to my degree for a change. Only 3 of the 15 credits I have taken thus far have counted for anything. Bummer, huh?

I can't wait for the house! Rick and I decided to have our wood flooring put in at an angle and it going to look so pretty! I will be so happy when we put in the new cupboards and countertops. I'm not totally certain I want to replace them though, because I would prefer to move in a couple years, and if we do that I don't want to sink too much money into the house.

I took Rick to my favorite furniture store on Saturday and I was so happy because he liked all the same things I like! I found a really awesome coffee table that we are going to get. It is huge and a piece of art just as much as it is furniture. Just one more month and we will be in! Yay!

Rick and I are going to AZ in a couple weeks for my cousin, Justin's wedding and I am so looking forward to it. We are going to stay at Nana's cabins, which I always love, and I am glad Rick is going. This is the first time he has gone up to the White Mtns with me since last Thanksgiving. I want to take the dogs on a walk at Mollogon Rim, but we'll have to see if we time for all that.

Dear Journal,

I went running today, finally. Something happened to my foot ( I don't know what) and I couldn't walk or put pressure on it for a few days. It was not fun being out of commission, and I couldn't help but have a new appreciation for what Jason Nelson has gone through with his ankle. I only ran 2.4 miles, but at least I was back on. I plan on getting back to 4-5 miles a day within a week though. I'm training for a marathon right now, and within a few weeks my long runs will be up to 12-14 miles. Fun!

Our house is still not finished! Kris and Cheyenne (Rick's brother and his fiance) just bought a new house last weekend and will be able to move in on the 24th of this month if they want to, and Sara also bought a house and will be moving in the beginning of September. We bought our house back in March and will be the last to move in. I am so excited to be out of apartments though! I'm also looking forward to decorating it.

Rick and I made a goal book the other day, and we are pretty excited about it. We each have space to write 101 goals that we have for our life; Rick wrote 50 something and I wrote 40 something. The goals range from going to so many concerts a year to having 25+ investment properties.

Rick started one of his goals that he has had since age 8 the other day, with my help. He has always wanted to learn Muay Thai kickboxing so I found a school for him and he had his first session two days ago. He can go to class as many times a week as he wants, and will be going tonight. I think I am going to sign up to do it with him in a couple weeks. Good exercise, for sure!

I have finally decided to change my major from Kinesiology to Finance. Finance will be more useful in the long run, and if I ever want to use it for a career, I would be quite successful. I'm looking forward to seeing what the classes entail.

I'm going to go take care of the rat dogs now, so I'm signing off.

Love,

Meg
