2012

Christmas and New Year's have come and gone. Welcome 2012. We've had a great year and I'm excited to see where '12 brings us. Along with going back to school and trying to survive with a car payment dj and I have been talking our future and we're trying to pray and figure out what to do on that front. He wants to apply for a doctorate program at a number of schools around the country so when he graduates Poly who knows where we'll be headed. A concept that is both exciting and scary for me.
Concerning New Year's resolutions I want to try and be a little more active in my weekly life. I'm not going to go crazy and say an hour everyday because I know I'm NOT going to do that. So I'm hoping for 3 days out of every week where I do something for at least a half hour that demands my body be active. It's not much but I know that I need to start slow or else I'll never do it.
Christmas was fun, I got a kitchen aid mixer, a movie, a cd, a hair straightener, and a couple odds and ends gifts. Dj got a few movies, a game, a new power supply for the computer, and a couple of his own odds and ends, very fun and chill and better than I expected.
I'm all paid up for school and all I need to do is get a notebook for it. I'm getting pretty excited actually, even though this first year is going to be slow it feels like a really good thing for me to do and dj is pretty excited and proud of my for choosing to do this. The only thing I'm nervous about is whether or not his laptop will be able to hold me through the full year because you're supposed to bring a laptop with you every week (not a requirement but strongly encouraged). We'll see how it does this week. Dj starts school tomorrow with early morning classes so I'm curious how he'll do with that, the hard thing is going to be deciding who gets the car each day. Juggling one car is definitely do-able, the hardest part is that one of us has to give up our time, either me walking/riding bike, or him taking the bus. We'll see how it goes but I'm excited to see how the first week of school treats us.
