School is in full swing

School started last week and is now in full swing. I have homework to do and it will take some time. I'll start by talking about my first class and move throughout the day for you.


First class is Basic Design. In that class we are learning about spacing, line of direction, proximity, similarity... Stuff I would hope by now I already know about, but it is a freshman level class that I have waited to take. Our first project is three designs that show our understanding of the above things. I'll try to show you those when I get them done.


Next is Spanish 101. First day was terrifying, but since it has become easier. Well not easier, but I am calmer than the first day of class. That was another story I might repeat later for you, but not now. I'm guessing we will have a chapter test in the next couple of weeks. *gulp*


Next is Oral communications. Speech class basically. We have a speech coming up that is supposed to be an informative speech. It has to be between 5-7 minutes in length. I think I will talk about Autism and the various aspects of it *ie Aspergers syndrome*


Last but not least is Typography. It is an interesting class. Right now we are taking a fake restaurant name and creating a logo for that restaurant based on what kind of product they serve and what nationality it is based around. I'll show that to you later too! It's so exciting!!

All shiney!


All shiney and clean. Since Eric got a new car Sunday, I went out Monday night and washed and vaccumed out the Elantra and made it look nice. I used the ol Armoral and cleaned the dash and interior. It looks so nice when the kids crap isn't in there and trash all over the back seat.


Eric's car is a Pontiac grand prix. It's nice, but also red. I don't really care for the color red in a car, so I'm fine with keeping the Elantra as "mine". Hehe. I'll post a picture of his new/used car for my next post tomorrow.

Nine year anniversary


So about this time of day, nine years ago, I was sitting nervously with my mother, sister, grandmother, and a hairdresser. Looking in the mirror, I could hardly wait to be looking down the aisle at my one true love. I can't believe it's been that long. We have had a healthy wonderful relationship so far. I'm not going to say that it's been perfect, I don't think anyone can truely say that, but it's been everything I wanted and more. I have been lucky and blessed to have him in my life, and I thank God for telling me no on a prayer I made about 12 years ago. It was the best answer he has every given me *besides the yes with Eric that is*.




Eric has been my knight in shining armor. One who has made me laugh when I was sad, loved me when I felt unlovable, held me when I hurt, and listened to my deepest darkest secrets and I could trust them safe with him. He is my very best friend, truely. I would NEVER ask for anything else in life than to have someone to love and someone who returns that love. Nothing else matters than that. Money is nice but not necessary. Family is the important thing, and if you can focus on that an not things, then you are going to have a great content life.
