first off, i am now all done with classes. i still have one more clinic shift tomorrow morning, but i am all done with massage school. i passed all of my classes with mostly A's. my graduation is on August 6, 2010. i am totally excited! it was actually a bit harder to say goodbye to some of my classmates last night than i thought it would be. i really will miss quite a few of them, not all, but more than i had expected. they are good people and it was an experience going through this past year with them.
married life is still good. zach & i are learning more of each other's quirks. i think i need to have more patience though. he is so wonderful to me and i get tired and cranky more than he deserves. hopefully the tired part will be at more of an end now that i'll be home before midnight most, if not all, nights. today i slept until 11am. i took work off since i still have a few vacation hours that i needed to use before next week. originally i was supposed to use those vacation hours for a honeymoon, but that didn't work out. now i am just hoping to get a honeymoon. zach knows that he will have to work on black friday, so we aren't sure if we'll be able to honeymoon for thanksgiving after all. maybe christmas?
i've really enjoyed taking a few days off work, mostly for finals and just a few random ones here and there to use my vacation hours up. i was able to make dinner twice and i also made banana bread. the banana bread was quite an adventure. our fridge leaks and as a result, our eggs froze. i had to improvise. i peeled the shells from the eggs and ran a bit of hot water over them. i ended up just beating them into the mix. i also added vanilla extract, cream cheese, cinnamon, and a bit of milk to the recipe. it turned out really well. zach ate almost the whole loaf.
zach & i have been in our newly wed/nearly dead ward for a grand total of 3 weeks now. we have 2 callings. we are ward missionaries and the sunday school teachers for the 11-13/14 year olds. last sunday was our first time teaching them. we had 5 boys show up. zach did really well teaching. this week is my turn and i am scared to death. i've never taught. i don't like to be in front of people. and now, we get to teach the youth and the new members. wish us luck.
i still don't have pictures yet. i am not sure when i'll actually get them. but i promise i will post them. zach took the jeep to work, so i don't have my camera to take pictures of our apartment. i'll take some and post them sometime soon too. i should have a fair amount more free time now, but i still need to continue studying. nationals exam will be coming hopefully sooner rather than later. i got registered, but i still have to wait for the process and then get my email with the phone number & a password to call so i can schedule when i take the nationals exam.
on an exciting note, i may have a massage job lined up here in ogden at a day spa for women. i just need my career service person to send me the information so i can send my resume in and hopefully all will go well. i know that starting out it is only an 18 hr a week job, but it has the potential to increase. i'll keep you all posted as i find out what the future will unfold. for now i will continue to work at macey's and have somewhat of that financial security. and that is all i have to post now. until next blog....
