What a week!

Three weeks into school and it's hitting us hard. We started out really good, getting up at 6:30 every morning and working out 3 times a week. I stayed up with my classes for the first two weeks and then caught a bug that put me behind. Luckily one of my instructors moved a due date back a week so I'll be caught up by the end of the week. Bryan tried really hard to get all his school work done while working part time, but on Sunday decided it was too much. So he dropped his least favorite class and that has let up the stress a bit. He also got sick this weekend, although not with what I had, but he is up moving around, going to school and should be able to go to work on Wednesday. The doctor says will take a few weeks for him to completely recover so he also dropped his PE class. He's working really hard and should be able to get back on top of everything.

To top it off we were rear-ended on Friday by a USU fireman in a USU car. I was driving and stopped at a stop sign to wait for a pedestrian, then pulled forward and stopped again to check for cars. The guy behind me didn't realize I had stopped a second time and hit the gas. His car was not damaged but his license plate number is tattooed onto our bumper. Our back bumper and reinforcement bar have to be replaced but it looks like the university will pay for it. The car is still drivable, you just have to jiggle the trunk a little to close it.

On a happier note, I am taking voice lessons this semester and really enjoying it. By the end of the semester I should be ready to sing at a recital. I am also very excited to be filling out papers for graduation! If all goes well I'll graduate next May. I am also nearly finished with my research paper for work so in the next 6-9 months I should have a published paper.

Bryan has found he really enjoys his Database class which is a good sign since that's what he just changed his major to. He also likes his marketing class ok, which is his minor so we know he's on the right track. It has been a very trying week but it looks like we'll pull through.
