School and Such

Wow, I can’t believe it has taken me so long to post on my blog. So much has happened in the last little bit. Chris graduated from ITT Tech and I have been enjoying evenings at home with him lately. I started school again for this semester. I originally wanted to take a science class, but they haven’t processed all of my credits yet and so I couldn’t. Instead I am taking American Sign Language and believe me, it is tons more fun than some stupid science class. I think it has helped that I have tried so many different languages before this one. This one is going really well and I feel really good about learning it. I am hoping to incorporate it into my teaching degree when I finally get it. I am taking my time and trying to focus on life as a whole and not just school or work. Besides school, we think that we have finally decided where we are going to move next year. It looks like, at this point, that Boise, ID is our destination. When Chris decides to go back to school to finish his bachelors degree, he only has 1 year and 9 months left. I think that we can try out Boise and see how we like it. If it is good, then we might decide to stay. I am just really glad there is an end in sight. I am completely ready to get on with our lives and get out of Las Vegas. It hasn’t been so bad here, it’s just, I still feel like I am in the exact same spot I was in when we first moved here. I don’t feel as though I have grown or matured at all. I need new experiences and new surroundings. Well, I am super excited that Lara and Neil have purchased their new house, and I am very sad that they will be moving away soon. I am going to miss babysitting Dallin and seeing them in church. *sniff* *sniff* I am going to miss Jennifer when she goes on her mission and I miss Amelia now that she is away at college. Things are going to be really different for my poor parents. We are all spreading out and leaving home and it feels weird. Pretty soon we will all have to travel a long ways to visit. I can’t tell you how relieved I have been feeling now that we have decided at least a little bit, on our future direction.

Besides all of the life drama, I am just so excited to recommend the new Terry Brooks book, The Gypsy Morph. I absolutely loved it, and I will have a hard time waiting for the next book to come out in a year. I am really looking forward to the next Eragon book. I need to replace my whole set and I am hoping to do it with paperbacks. I have been buying hardbacks because I want to read them right away and I am wasting a lot of money. I am really loving the whole Karin anime, as well as the Manga Chibi Vampire. They are funny and I recommend them. Oh, one more thing, I hope that everyone is registered to vote. I don’t really want to have to kick all of your rears for not voting. Have a voice people=)
