Well, I haven't written in a long time and decided now would be the best time.

Actually, I really don't know what to talk about.

Daniel and I have been budgeting lately. It has been going surprisingly well!

Currently my biggest decision is whether to go straight into graduate school or try to find a job right after I graduate. I may try to do both and then pray about it depending on whether I can even get a job or into graduate school. Other than that, kids are definitely going to happen somewhere in that crazy mix.

This summer my plan is to work like crazy. I will also take a spring class with Daniel. (Eng 316)
I also plan on possibly going on a small trip for work to Idaho. I really hope it happens.
Other than that there are no plans for vacations or to see family. I feel like I need a vacation BADLY!

I really wish flights to MI were not so expensive so I could see my family. Plus, my oldest nephew on my side of the family (Dirk) is going to Cedar Point for the first time this year. I am sad because I am going to miss it.
:(

Daniel fixed my camera yesterday.....when I say fix he turned the battery around and it worked. That was a face-palm moment for me since I was so ditsy to put it in wrong. In my defense, I was super tired when I put the battery in. Plus it meant that I went my whole strat/sed field trip without a camera thinking it was broken!!!

General conference was a good one. I got to meet Rose's parents and family, plus her husband's (Anthony) family and dogs. :)  It was a good conference day and I was surprised how comfortable I felt in a group!

Normally I freeze up. It doesn't help that Daniel barely talks either so that group settings makes it difficult for both of us.

 Unfortunately the first thing that comes to mind is being with his family. They are wonderful people, but I just don't feel comfortable talking so they don't know me at all. I know that's my fault, all I have to do is speak up and be myself. It's just hard when most of his family has the opposite personality as me and every time we see each other it is in a huge group setting. It's also hard when I don't see them for months at a time and I don't get to know them individually, which is essential for me. I hope this doesn't come off ranting, because it is far from it. It's just something that breaks my heart every time I think of it. When I pictured my future in-laws I pictured being myself with them (which is actually very talkative). But it's not the case for me. I guess I may just feel intimidated since Daniel and I are the youngest and definitely feel like we are just little kids. But I don't know.

I also feel sad that my family is so far away, but moving to MI is out of the question. I would get an entry level job easier, but the economy is terrible. But I really want to be near my family so that they can spend time with their grandkids when we have them. I have thought about getting a job out there after I graduate and flying out occasionally to see Daniel, but that makes me sad.

 I am so glad my family is talkative and welcomed Daniel into the family well. Thanks mom. :)

Well, that's it for now. Time for the last couple weeks of school!!! eeek!
