Eternal Buddies

 

This past week has been the first week back to school for both Casey and myself. I have to say it's been an interesting experience thus far. I wasn't sure how we were each going to handle the pressures that might be flung our way, and although it's only been a week, believe me there are plenty.
I'm sitting here right now grateful that my homework is over and watching my dear husband work on his calculus. He's hating it right now, but I'm trying to be supportive whenever he gets an answer correct. We've been doing that for each other each day. I have no doubt we will keep it up through the semester.
Our house is a disaster, we are both stressed and tired, and yet I have to say I'm more happy now that I think a person should be allowed. I love my husband so much. He truly is my rock and my support. Even when he is at his limit he finds it in himself to help me. I don't know how he does it but I'm grateful for it and I can only hope I return the favor often.
I am excited for our future. In the past it has overwhelmed me and has been a great cause of worry, but now I just feel joy in the anticipation of things to come. I am so grateful I have this amazing man at my side for eternity to go through it with me. I am grateful we have the same goals and expectations. I am also grateful we differ on many things. Just enough to keep things interesting. If there is one person I would be happy to spend each moment with it would be Casey. He's just that amazing.
I'm told he thinks I'm pretty amazing too....lol Not sure about that but for his sake I wont dispute it.
I just know he's going to be a wonderful father someday. I'm excited at the prospect of him playing with, counceling, teaching, loving and helping our children grow.
Not sure why I felt the need to write so much mushy stuff about my spouse tonight. Maybe watching him work so hard inspired me, or maybe I just feel like I don't express it enough how much I love him. In any case, that's how I'm feeling right now about my man. Night. :0)

School Daze/Days?

 

Once upon a time I attempted to go to college for all the wrong reasons. To get out of my parents house, to start over somewhere new, to be around a current boyfriend. The whole education thing was pretty much lost on me. But now I have my second chance. Starting tomorrow I will attend and earn credit for my first class at Lewis-Clark State College. I cannot tell you how thrilled and excited I am, even if I have to do research writing and math this semester. I have a different and more appriciative outlook on gaining an education. I want so badly to improve as a person, to leave the world a better place than when I came into it. I want to know that I am a good member of society as well as a contributing one.

I have never really pushed myself before academically. I kind of just took this as they came and gave a half hearted attempt at passing. I know it frustrated my parents to no end. They are pleased with my new outlook on school but I think a bit wary. To often I have done a song and dance of wanting to do something and never following through.

But this time I will! I know it wont be easy. Heck I'm more than likely going to hate it sometimes with a passion but it's something I need with all my heart to do for myself. And so, as intimidating as it may be I will face it head on and work hard at my happy outcome. :0)
