School+work=hardly any time with each other..

It has been a while since I have posted about our little life together. It has been a bit crazy, there hasn't been much time to do anything really. School started on the 26th of August and since then, nothing has slowed down. That first day was unbelievable though. I go to all my classes in a really good mood and come out thinking that I need to go find some super powers in order to get any of that work done. I am taking Biology 1010(the very beginning course), Ethics and Values, and two asl classes. ALL of my classes require that you read a whole bunch for every time we meet and write a summary or outline of what you read and what you think about each one. First of all, I don't particularly like to read so this makes it REALLY difficult. Secondly, when am I going to find time to read when I am working a ton and still trying to get used to married life and find time to be with my husband! Sleep I guess just isn't an option. So I leave the school and I'm on my home to already start on homework and mr. cop thought it would be nice to pull me over. I ask him why I am getting pulled over and he said it is because I used the exit ramp wrong and could have caused a severe accident! I'm pretty sure there were NO cars coming and I didn't know about that stupid ramp! It is hard to describe really because the entrance to UVU is extremely confusing and it is even more confusing to try and exit the school. Anyway, I of course start crying because Landon and I don't even have our insurance card yet. We have car insurance but we hadn't received the card to put in your car, and we couldn't afford a ticket anyway. Oh and to top it all off, he pulled me over on the highway! Talk about scary! Mr. Cop thinks it must be fun to make woman panic because he was back at his car for a good 5 minutes. I don't think it takes THAT long to pull up my file. He comes back, hands me my stuff, and tell me to have a good day...thanks so much. I mean, don't get me wrong... I am VERY thankful I didn't get a ticket, but was it really necessary to pull me over, especially on the highway?
School went on and nothing else really exciting happened until Sunday. Sunday evening, Landon and I went over to Andrew and Sophie's house to play some games with them and just hang out. It was about 10pm and Landon and I were about to leave when Sophie and I started talking about how I want to donate my hair but I don't know if it is long enough or if I really want to. She looks at me, and says "well let's just do it right now!" Without hesitating, I said okay!
This was before...
I chopped off 13 inches!
I am donating it to Locks of Love and boy it is weird to not have long hair! I am amazed at how much shampoo and conditioner I save now, and how it takes me only 10 minutes to do my hair! That is blow drying AND straightening. Before that, it took me 15 minutes just to blow dry and another 10 minutes to straighten. It is a relief to my arms and my neck to have a lot less hair. I am sure I will grow it out again but who knows.
After I styled it the very next day
School just seems to get getting tougher and tougher and time with Landon just seems to be getting shorter and shorter. The only time we have with each other is when we are asleep and technically that doesn't count.. It's a sad story but I know we can somehow manage and pull through. We haven't been training for our 5k, which is next week, so I am sure I will be walking most of that. ha but at least I tried. Anyway, homework is calling my name...oh goody! The joy of school!

  1. Nice Opening picture. Cops are no fun. Try getting pulled over after a nice day of shopping and it dark road and pretty much a forest. What happened to the good cops? They need better PR for sure.
