Is There Life After Graduation?

Labels: -

YES! (At least I hope so, because I GRADUATE IN APRIL!!!) I'm so excited, and I'm slightly terrified wondering what I'm going to do with myself! For the past 2+ years, Landon and I have gone to school and work all day and then studied all evening. Now, I'm going to work all day and when I come home, he'll be studying all evening. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? I have a couple ideas, but I need more, so if you have any suggestions, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

1.) New Hobbies to Try:
-Cake Decorating: There's a class, and I'm taking it! Anyone want to join me? :)
-Gardening: Hopefully this one will turn out better than last year's!
-Painting: I've never tried it before, but I really really want to, so I might take a class.
-Canning: I'm going to learn how!

2.) Read:
-I've made a list of classics that I want to read, but I need suggestions! All genres! Anything about European or world history? I especially love that stuff.

3.) Spend more time on my favorite hobbies: Scrapbooking, singing, running, and playing piano

4.) Also, my house is going to be SO CLEAN! I kind of get giddy about cleaning and organizing. Right now, I make time for it but only because I'm slightly OCD, but come April, I'm going to have the luxury of spending a TON of obsessive time on it. I'm talkin labeling and plastic binning! Straight up organized heaven! HOO-RAH!

5.) Any other brilliant plans for me? (Please don't suggest sewing. I tried it, and I failed.) But all other suggestions would be MUCH APPRECIATED!

Update

-I've started my new job, and I love it! My boss asked me to start working 30 hours a week, and I was crazy enough to say yes. I've been working 24 hours a week and doing school full-time. I'm sure 6 more hours won't be too crazy...right? :) (I'll work 40 after graduation).
-I graduate in April!!! Everyone is invited! I'm pretty pumped.
-I'm playing on two AMAZING intramural soccer teams: Girl's b-ball and co-ed soccer, tournament is coming up. It'll be SWEET!
-Spring is HERE (In my heart, so I put up my spring wreath), and I'm pumped.
-The Bachelor is over, so I need a new guilty pleasure, any ideas?
-Landon has started P90X, and he has never been so sore. I'm proud of him.
-Life is good.

So Much to Celebrate!!!

This weekend Landon and I celebrated our two year wedding anniversary, our third year of being together, and our fourth Valentine's Day together! We had a blast! Landon is a sweetheart and got me these beautiful roses! On Saturday night, we went to the Purcell's house and celebrated with our good friends and where our wonderful husbands made us dinner! Ribs, potatoes, salad, and dessert, yup, they're good!

On Monday, we had a "Day Date." We went to Kneaders for breakfast, saw "When In Rome" (Cute, cheesy, but cute), and decided to finally use the last of our gift cards from our wedding! (Thank you to the insanely generous people who have kept us busy shopping for the past two years). That afternoon, we shopped at the mall and went to go to Ottavio's for dinner. (We went there the night that Landon proposed). Much to our dismay, it's CLOSED! We felt so bad, because we loved that place, but we went to dinner at a place down the road which was also delicious. Basically, it was wonderful (and Landon looks really tall in this picture). I LOVE YOU, LANDON!!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

SO EXCITED!!!

So I haven't been blogging too much lately, because every spare moment I've had I've been applying for jobs for after I graduate in April. But THIS JUST IN, life is good, because I GOT A JOB!!! I'm going to work as an account planner/marketing manager part-time until I graduate, and then I'll go full-time! The job is exactly what I love to do in my major, so I'm a little beyond giddy! We'll also get to stay in town and in our ward until Landon graduates next year!!! AND...we'll be moving to a much better apartment just down the road from us that's about the same price!!! Have I mentioned I'm SO EXCITED???
