I guess it's been a while since I've posted, although I really don't feel like I have anything interesting to say... I'll start with what I'm doing. I am sitting in my living room, making a mental list of everything that needs to be done around the house, wishing I had the will power and creativity to get it all done (a lot of it involves cleaning, but some of it involves rearranging which I am not very good at, i just make stacks of things instead of finding a way to make things FIT into their proper places) and wishing I had a maid. That's so lame! It really would be nice though. To have a maid. Trenton is babysitting for one of the families that he home teaches - I was supposed to go with him, and after I sent him off to go on his own (because it was too early) I was supposed to meet him there, however I couldnt' bring myself to.. mostly because I thought it was strange and second mostly because I'm too lazy to get properly dressed right now.

I have a stack of books that I'm dying to read, but I'm too impatient to enjoy them, so I refuse to read right now because I usually skip pages at a time when i'm in this impatient book reading mood - and i miss out on half the story. So... since I won't do anything else, and spending any more time on facebook just makes me feel like a computer nerd, I figured I'd write a blog. I really have got to think of more interesting things to write about!

Next week Kayla, a dear friend of mine from back home, is getting married up in Logan and we (including jess) are going to make the trip up there to be with her for her big weekend! I am so excited! The Logan temple is SO beautiful, and I praise every opportunity given me to escape great little Provo. I do ok here, but I am starting to realize that my friends who are married either live too far away, or are just happy with their current social life that we don't find many opportunities to get together and my single friends think that perhaps since I am married now I don't like to hang out with anyone but my husband. Which, I guess I really don't mind just hanging out with Trenton ALL the time - but it definitely makes Provo feel so small. SO -- we can all see why I am so excited to go to Logan next weekend. NOt to mention that it is a 3 day weekend - which is SO exciting as well -- next week will just be the best!

In my last blog I mentioned that I was only taking 3 classes or something like that - but I actually ended up dropping 2 of them, so I'm only taking my 490 right now -- which is BLISS because I am horrible at research papers, and the point of this class is to write a large research paper. So I now have all the time in the world to do a fantastic job, and to not have to stress about which classes I need to devout more time to - because I only have the one! Huzzah! I will be starting those two classes that I dropped through Independent Study in the next couple of weeks, but I have a year to complete those. I will be walking in April even though I won't be receiving my diploma at that time... but Hist 202 and Stats 221 shouldn't take too much time to go through and by the time the summer is over I will be through with school! At least for now. I have contemplated grad school, but I realize that now is not the time for that. I do want to do it - perhaps someday after my kids have all grown up. Maybe. So there's the academic update.

Trenton accepted a job recently that will keep us here in Provo over the summer - instead of going near or far to where ever on an internship, we will be interning here. It's a year long internship but it's only 20 hours a week, and it really shouldn't be called an internship because he's doing things that I could do - meaning no real knowledge of accounting is needed to do this job (that we know of). But that's ok because he really seems to be enjoying it, and having work helps him to keep his schooling on balance (which seems silly but it really does help him to manage time better when he has less free time) SO since we will be here for sure this summer, I have started to apply for full time positions on campus. So far, I have been email rejected once - I haven't heard back from one that closed a week ago, so my guess is they are waiting to reject applicants until they have interviewed and picked someone, so I'm really only waiting for a rejection - and I have an interview on Monday for a position as a secretary at the BYU Philanthropies office. This isn't really one that I was hoping for... but if they do offer me the job, it would definitely be a blessing as far as income and benefits go. And, since I am currently going semi-crazy with my current job, it would be a blessing in allowing me to keep my sanity. Although, each day that goes by, I get less and less annoyed with .... well anything at work. Even when certain desk attendants choose not to help in major tasks that we have asked them to multiple times... I don't want to throw staplers at them, I realize that not everybody is as ok with breaking nails due to working with a bazillion keys like I might be.

I think I might go visit Trent and the kids and see how that's going. He was supposed to be back a half hour ago, so maybe I should go rescue him in case he is going crazy!
