So one thing that bothers me is when people schedule something and then forget altogether and you are left hanging after clearing all your plans.
Today was such a day. I went home from school (e-mailing an assignment because I knew I wouldn't be on campus to turn it in properly). I got ready to go and waited and waited....and waited. Then she calls and wants to set up another time....but she sounds like she has no idea that we had already set a time-- for today and now! So now I have to do this all again.
Ok, rant done.

Sunrise
I am staying home from school today because one of my classes was cancelled and the other is going over things I know.
I was a little sad that I didn't go to campus, but sitting on my couch with a window facing the mountains as the sun rose above them was priceless. I wouldn't have seen this if I went to school in the morning.
I just love how our cream colored curtains glow as the suns rays shine through them. :)

Last semester (minus field camp)
My classes this last normal semester: US History, English 316 (might drop), Zumba, Geophysics, and advanced hydrogeology (graduate class)
This semester is going to be difficult, but I think I am going to do well. I think this semester is going to be more difficult for my dear Daniel.
After this semester I only have a 6 week field course and then I graduate.
Our goals this year:
1. Save save save!!!! There is more motivation now that we can see our future a bit more clearer!
2. I will graduate this year
3. Not miss a Sunday (only miss for extreme cases of course)
4. Read scriptures together every night. Since both of us are always super busy with school and work, we have struggled with this in the past. But no longer!
5. Pray every night. Sometimes we are both too tired to say a combined prayer, but we are working on this.
6. Eat healthy and exercise. Just being healthy.
7. Go to the Temple once a month. If anyone wants to go with us to the temple every month let me know. I love going with other couples. :)
8. For Daniel and me to make time for each other every day. Last semester we never had time for each other and it was hard on both of us. We find this one really important. Going along with this , when we are in public together we plan on holding hands more and kissing more often. I hate public affection, but when I only spend time with Daniel in public I find it important to be there for each other.
We have lots of goals, but they are all super doable. Daniel is excited for this new and improved life as well. I already feel a difference in my life. I am so much happier. :)

Choices, Choices
Ok.....so this is something I need to decide.
I have a professor who I want to work with for graduate school. I don't plan on going to graduate school until Fall 2014-- a year after I get my bachelors.
So, I have 3 choices.
One: Do Geology 410 spring of 2014 and graduate with my bachelors that June. (Daniel graduates around the same time). I would take a Diatom course this coming spring instead of doing 410 (spring 2013). Then go into graduate school Fall 2014. Classes in the meantime with be going towards my graduate requirements.
One Cons: geology 410 without my friends and the classmates I am use to.
Two: Graduate with my bachelors June 2013. Graduate school Fall 2014. (My current plan) Daniel still graduates Summer of 2014. Diatom course Spring 2015.
Things I am worried about:
-That I won't be able to keep up with my education in the meantime
-That by that time the research I want to do will not be available for me
Three: I take Geology 410 this spring (spring of 2013) and not walk with my bachelors but I will have all the classes done for it. Instead, I will technically be done with my bachelors Spring 2013, but I will continue in school for Fall 2013 and maybe Winter 2014. That way I can take graduate level courses and get most of my coursework done for graduate school. I will take the diatom course Spring of 2014. By the time I start graduate school in Fall of 2014 I will have a lot of my graduate coursework done, diatom course will be done, I will have continued and not fallen behind in geology, and hopefully have a little baby by then. I will graduate from graduate school a year and a half later.
Plans one and three are very similar. The only difference is one I will have my bachelors a year sooner, but I won't have the diploma since I am continuing with school.
Any opinions?

Skyping!
I got my ear talked off about legos and Minecraft. I showed my sister and Dirk our apartment and Dirk told me about his house. We also played with our skype effects and the above picture is the result. Elizabeth has no head!!!!! Delilah is absolutely adorable!!!!!
Thanks Liz, Delilah, and Dirk for chatting with Daniel and me!
Done and Done!
Finals are over (for better or worse) and my sister had her beautiful baby girl-- Delilah Marie!
So let me first say how incredibly happy I am for my new niece. The one thing I want for Christmas more than anything is to fly out to MI and to hold that little girl. :( I won't see her until May or August, hopefully.
Finals weren't bad. I had a presentation on Monday. That went ok. Then my one and only final on Thursday morning at 7am. That test was monstrous, but I only needed a 70% to get an A in the class. I hope I pulled it off. :) Friday I worked a little and fixed the little thing wrong on my hand contoured seismic interpretation. Now I am done! YIPPEE!
That morning I was able to hang with my bestest of friends with only a little bit of school interference on our minds. I have to say that Rachel in particular looked extremely peaceful. Unfortunately, with the school shooting, the day was a bit gloomy. What a tragedy.
Though...I turned to Daniel at one point in the day and said "You know, I don't feel as sad as most people without the Gospel. At least most of them were little children and were not accountable for their sins." Those children will be with our Heavenly Father. Though their Earthly experiences were ripped unfairly from them, they will be in the Celestial Kingdom. I just want to try to see some more of the positive from this terrible tragedy.
We went to see the Hobbit. It was good. The theater we went to was like a furnace for the first half of the movie and they started the movie a good 15 minutes late. And what was with those trailers? The only good one was for the new Star Trek movie. I gagged at the new Stephanie Meyer movie. Why oh why do they keep making movies out of terrible books?!
The Hobbit itself was good. You have to understand going into it that it is not LotR. You also have to understand it is a prequel to the LotR.
I also gave Daniel an early Christmas present. I told him he could open it now or later. I was hinting I wanted him to open it sooner. I think he is glad he did. Now he has time to make the millennium falcon before we head to Washington for Christmas. I have never seen him so excited for a material possession. I know that he has wanted this for years and because of his parents I was able to finally make this possible for him. Thanks Vaun and Margaret!
