The First Post...


Well, I decided I would jump on the blog boat again, and create a blog for our little two-person family. :) But I have to begin with this disclaimer: Our life is not extremely exciting at the moment. haha. So, we'll see how many people will actually want to read this.

The picture above is the most recent picture of us. :) Last weekend we took two of Scott's friends from Japan around Salt Lake while they were here visiting for two weeks. It was pretty fun. They wanted to see the Great Salt Lake, so thats where that picture was taken. :)

So I guess I'll have this first blog be about what going on in our lives right at this very moment.

Right now both Scott and I are students up at the U, and its been pretty good. Scott is a full-time student and when he's not in class, he's usually working up at his research lab. So that keeps him pretty busy these days. Its definitely been great, though. His job has been a real blessing, since its brought about a lot of great things that he can put on his Pharmacy school application. We are very lucky.

He will be applying to the U of U pharmacy school in December, and we will find out in the Spring of 2011 whether or not he gets in. If he does, he would start in the Fall of 2011. Which would be super awesome! That's what we are shooting for at this point. :)

I am currently mostly just working. I work about 40-45 hours a week, so I only have time to take one class this semester. And that class is Spanish 1010. haha. I really like it. Language classes keep you pretty busy, though! whew. I really wanted to keep taking Japanese, since I took Japanese all through high school, but decided that not only was Spanish way more useful here, but the times Spanish was offered was much more flexible for my work schedule. So there I am. Other than that, I am about half way through with my major. haha. But it will take a while, as I am working full time. For those who don't know, I switched my major to Linguistics with a TESOL esndorsement (Teaching English as a Second Language). And I am loving it. :) Love, love, love learning about language.

So everything that I just wrote about is what takes up the majority of our time. Plus, homework for both of us means we basically only have free time on the weekends. Sometimes. :) We are happy though. Being busy is better than sitting at home being bored.

And we are doing very well. :) We are nearing our 2 year anniversary! Crazy! I can't believe we've almost been married 2 years. Time has seriously flown by. And, we only have one baby. And it is in the form of a car. haha. No real babies for a while, I think. We're pretty content for now. :) But we do love our new car.

Well, I don't know how interesting that was for a first blog. But... there it is. :) I'll try to write at least somewhat regularly to keep people posted on what going on in our lives. :)
