Today my friend Toril (hi, Toril!) told me to update my blog. I didn't think anyone looked at it, so I haven't bothered signing in for updates, especially since Chris and I have been so busy. But just for you, Toril, here goes... :)

Becca started college again on August 17. I haven't been in school, except for a quick CNA course back in 2003, since 2001. The cobwebs in my brain have grown fast and thick, and I was really scared. I'm attending Arapahoe Community College (similar to what UVSC/UVU used to be), and it's just 5 minutes down the road from our apartment! I'm planning on majoring in either nursing or radiology, and minoring in Interior Design. For right now, I'm getting my pre reqs out of the way. I'm taking psychology, where I'm getting 100% on my tests- a pleasant surprise! English 121- Composition- where I thoroughly enjoy my professor, and have fun writing essays. I'm getting an A in that class too, so far. Then there's biology :( It's a VERY hard class! Quite truthfully, it's kickin' my butt! The highest grade in our class on our first test was a 74- I got a 68. Unfortunately, the professor does not grade on a curve, since she lets you drop one test score. Most of the information goes over my head, and my brain and my eyes spin around like crazy during the lectures. It's frustrating. But I'm forging ahead, and all-in-all, absolutely LOVE being back in school again!!!

Chris has been busy busy busy at work. This past week his boss, Jim, was on vacation, which made life pretty tough for Chris. It was frustrating for him, but he did great and I hope he's proud of himself :) He finally got to hang out with his friends last night at a bbq (Becca couldn't go due to massive homework), and that made him happy. He plays World of Warcraft (a computer game) with his friends twice a week, but this was the first time in awhile that he was actually able to hang out with them in person. Yay!

We've both been suffering from "significant other withdrawal". Due to Becca's homework attacks and Chris' long hours at work, we've hardly seen each other except when we crawl into bed at night. We're very excited to spend quality time tonight (Saturday)! I'm going to make a nice meal, then we'll go see a movie together. It's been a long time coming. We both remarked to each other last night on the phone, when Chris was driving home from his party at 12:30 am and Becca was still working hard on the computer, how much we miss each other. It's a good thing we live together, or we'd forget what the other one looks like! :D

On a very personal note... Becca is still struggling with HPV. Happily this week, I got the test results back from my biopsy and they were, as usual, inconclusive. I'm happy about it because there's no full-blown cancer. The doctor says if by this time next year, after 2 more 6 month biopsies come back inconclusive, I can have the cancerous cells frozen off. Chris and I really want to have children- 2 or 3- after we're married, and we're hoping and praying I won't lose the ability to do so. Wish us luck!
