My focus right now is getting our lives on the right track.

I feel like we're doing a pretty good job. I don't know, it's kind of a confusing thing. Not so much cut and dried. Really...just relative. I feel like we're doing well; my name is officially changed on all of our accounts and all my cards. We applied for a credit card together and got a $9,000 limit, so woo. And we turned both of our accounts into joint accounts. Ooh! And next month we're paying off our car. His mom is loaning us the money so we can pay her back interest free. We're going to save about $900. So that's good.

Other than that, just saving money for the wedding, trying to get those details hammered out. And I'm still waiting to hear back from PSU; I emailed them and they responded to tell me that my application still hasn't been reviewed and it would most likely be several more weeks. I'm probably still looking at taking out a student loan, but I qualify for a subsidized loan, so in the long run it won't be so bad; it'll help build our credit and we won't have to make payments on it until after I graduate. I really look forward to just getting that degree. That's my goal leaving Oregon; to leave with a degree. And at our next station I'll try to get a teaching job; if I can't do that I'll just get whatever job to start paying down the loan. But at least I'll be qualified!

Emotionally we're doing really well. Our marriage is almost an eight month old! I can't believe we've been married for almost 8 months. Our one year anniversary is in ...two weeks. Gosh. Well, we're still really happy. Maybe we're still in the honeymoon phase; most likely, because I still seem to think the sun shines out his butt. Even when he's gross, or mean haha. Well, he's never really mean, but...ya know. I wonder when that phase will wear off.

I've been feeling really ...sick lately; to my stomach. And we were worried, because I just started a new birth control and I missed a day at one point. And we used backup protection for a week after that, but we were still worried. So I took a pregnancy test, and thankfully, I'm not pregnant. My sister is though! Surprise! I took the test, it came out negative, and she called me to tell me that SHE was pregnant! They're not really in a position for another baby right now, but she's excited anyway. So I'm excited for her.

Still looking for another job. The deli has gotten really busy lately, so I've been getting more hours (thank god, my last pay check was like ...a dollar. not really, but close enough). But I'm still looking for something more full time, or something that is more fulfilling. I dunno... maybe I just need to pursue a hobby. I want more to fill my time. I should work out more. I should start painting again. I was a lot more productive before we had cable and internet haha...we got that a couple months ago and I've really gone downhill. We should cancel it and save $50 a month -- or put it towards the car! Yeah...we should do that.

Anywho! I'll update when things happen.
