Can I just fast forward the next 6 months?

So the reason I have been seriously slacking on my blog lately is due to my overwhelming busyness right now.  This is my schedule right now.  Every day after work, I come home and do homework until 10:00 or 11:00 at night.  (I am taking 8 credits this semester)  Luckily, I am only working 4 days a week now, so on my "day off," I clean the house for 3 hours, do homework all day, and then I go to my upholstery class at night on Thursdays.  This is in addition to my regular classes.  (I am currently re-upholstering all the furniture in my living room.  Time consuming, but it's going to be fantastic!)  So my day off isn't really a day off.  I also end up spending a few hours on Saturday doing homework.  Technically I have some time off on Saturday and Sunday but it's still crazy.  What this results in, is that I feel a little overworked every day due to not getting any "me time" or a break.  So basically, I wish I could fast forward to July when I'll finally be done with school and I can have my life back!!!

While I've been staying busy with everything, Aaron has been staying busy with tax season and working out at his friend Jared's new gym, Crossfit Envy.  It's an exersise program using weights, a personal trainer, and a severe beat down to get in shape.  Aaron and his friends love it and they've been getting great results. Basically, it focuses on toning and getting stronger. We just went to the opening BBQ for the gym on Saturday.  So I'm glad Aaron is finding things to do since he tends to get bored when I'm occupied.  I tease him that because he grew up with Phil and always had a buddy, he never learned to "play" by himself.

We're trying to plan a trip to Disneyland some time in May with Aaron's brothers and sisters for the annual kids retreat.  We're all very excited, so hopefully we'll all be able to go.

Aaron also turns 30 this year around the same time as our 7 year wedding anniversary, so we're going to be thinking about something special to do.  I'm excited!

My sister, Heidi, got engaged to her boyfriend, Aaron Gilming on Christmas Day.  We are all very excited!  The date is set to be August 20th.  So I'm sure we'll all be busy helping her to plan her wedding.

It's going to be a busy year, but I think it's going to be a good one!
