Life in Iceland

So, its been awhile since I last wrote, probably cuz there isn't much happening in my life these days. But I have been taking an online accounting class. It's super hard sometimes but I'm sticking with it and I'll make it through with a B if its the last thing I do. I need a boost to my GPA really bad.

I am also back with Chris and couldn't be happier. He is sooo amazing and I love him tonz! I am very happy to "report" that he set a baptism date tonight. He is getting baptized March 1. He is happy but I think it dulls in comparison to his girlfriend freaking out here. I'm so glad that he is taking this step and even more excited that I will be home for it and be a part of it (I'm making cookies and giving a talk lol). He asked my dad to baptize him and I'm really glad. It means that he is officially becoming part of the family. I'm so happy right now like I'm on the verge of tears, no lie.

It is obviously cold in Wisconsin. But its starting to get just a little warmer and I'm super excited cuz that means that spring is on its way and we all know how much I love spring!! Especially because of the horribly cold winters here in Wisconsin and in Idaho.

I've been doing a lot of babysitting lately. Definitely gives me a new perspective about being a mom someday every time I babysit. But knowing that my husband would be there right by my side messing up (I mean raising) our beautiful children definitely helps me feel better.

I guess that's all for now. I am obviously bursting with happiness and excitement. :-)

Winter

Well, I've been back home in Wisconsin for over a month now. I have started an online accounting class that has caused me a lot of stress lately. Nothing was going right for me and I was getting less than desired grades on all my assignments. However, I'm happy to report that I took my first quiz today and got a B. I also got an 100 percent on my assignment today. I'm so excited!!

Life back home has been really hard on me the last week. My family was driving me crazy and I had no where to go to get some space. And my love life has been VERY confusing the last month or two. And I have cried my share of tears. But I know the Lord has something great in mind for me if I just learn a little patience.

It has also been FREEZING here all week. As I write it is negative six which is a huge improvement. School has even been canceled the last two days because of the dangerous temperatures. And we all know how much I love winter and cold temperatures. Maybe that's why I've been so emotional and depressed lately.

Well I don't have much else to report. My days are pretty much filled with school and family these days. And I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while. This last week and well, this last month has really flown by.
