"Only as high as I can reach can I grow, Only as far as I seek can I go, Only as deep as I look can I see, Only as much as I dream can I be."
Well, as you know I started a blog at the beginning of the Summer that I was intending on posting in weekly. That idea obviously failed.
A lot has happened since the beginning of the Summer, all of which would consume an entire novel to write, and take up way too much of my precious time. So I'll just stick to the basics here.
I would love to say that my Summer was filled with lavish vacations, insane concerts, and even laying out tanning at the pullman dunes with friends, but that would all be a lie. Instead I took a 6 week summer session taking 4 classes, and worked. It isn't as bad as it sounds though, promise. I did also take one short vacation to California to visit Brandon playing summer ball, and partook in my brothers and best friends breathtaking fairytale wedding. So all in all, it was one memorable Summer.
Well as I said, I spent the first summer away from home because I landed myself an awesome job. Since it's slim pickins' in Pullman, I am lucky to even have gotten a job let alone this one. I work at Flirt in Pullman which is a super chic boutique in Pullman with affordable designer brands. Which if you know me at all, you know this job was MEANT for me. Despite the fact that I come home with a new bag of clothes just about every day, it is nice to be able to make a little bit of an income for myself. During the Summer it was just myself and my manager Keri working so I was working over 30 hours a week, which was actually pretty awesome since Brandon was out of the state. It was a nice little way to remain occupied :) However, now that school has started I've noticed the difficulty of balancing such a hefty schedule. I am currently taking 18 credits which is 6 classes of almost all upper division courses and 2 labs and on top of that working 25-30 hours a week, maintaining a healthy relationship with my boyfriend, and taking care of our two beautiful babies! Plus I am in pre-law society, but it hasn't been demanding at all. This last week I noticed just how much of a toll it's been taking on me, so I had to cut back on hours for the next two weeks just to keep up with the demands of all of my professors. So far I am dealing with it well....well lets just say I haven't had a heart attack just yet.
Since my schedule is so demanding I haven't had a spare moment to make it home to moses lake. I miss my family insanely.. even stupid oscar :) It is super hard on me to be away from my family for as long as I have because my family is truly my world. I am the worlds biggest daddy's girl and being away from him is hard. We make up for it by long phone conversations, and if I ever need to vent to anyone I call him or my mom and let it ALL out. I have only seen them once since the Summer and the one time I saw my dad was for 5 minutes in spokane to drop off my car. (did i mention my dad finally got me my dream car!) I love my family SO much and I can not wait to go home. From beginning to the end the one thing you will always have is family, and if you lose site of that you really have nothing..
Anyways, as most of you already know.. Brandon and I "officially" moved in together, and it's going great. We both have our crazy busy schedules so we aren't in each others face every second of the day. It's so nice to have our little family all under one roof, and I couldn't be happier. We are both very content with where we are in our life, and don't worry we don't intend on moving forward anytime soon to those who don't believe me. We are young and living life with our priorities in mind. We both have very high goals and we both intend on reaching them, with each other by our sides. I am very happy and my love for him grows by the minute. I wouldn't trade my little family for the world.
We live together but we are not alone. :) We moved in with our good friends Eli and Brad. Yes....I do live with 3 boys... 2 of them having JUST moved out of a frat house. But it's not as bad as you think :) I decorated the entire townhouse and gave it all of my nice cozy touches so I didn't feel like I was living in a Fraternity. The boys aren't too happy about the fact that I currently use 4 closets and like 5 dressers in the townhouse, and one of them is just dedicated to all of my heels. Whoops...whats a girl gotta do? Well, All three boys have been surprisingly clean and we all get a long way too well. Despite the fact that they hide my keys or phone in food boxes, or put them in a ziplock bag and stick them in a cup of water and put them in the freezer, or report my pictures to facebook, take pictures of me sleeping, or post awful things on my facebook..... we are all pretty close, maybe a little too close. I am usually stuck with the laundry, the cooking and the cleaning.. but they all help out every once in a while :)
I need to wrap this up, and since I am so bad at writing these I'll clue you in on my future festivities. I have this week left to finish up homework and study for yet another essay midterm on Friday, and then I am headed home to Moses Lake for the first time since this Summer. I cant wait to enjoy my dad's Persian cooking, take a long hot jet bath with hot water that never ends, and spend quality time with my family. Then the weekend after I am going to Seattle to spend quality time with Brandon's family and see my brother and his beautiful wife and little miles kidd :). all in all I cannot wait to be back on the westside.It is going to be filled with haunted houses, scary movies, visiting the grandparents :), catching up with his parents, and spending time with my brother and best friend. IM CRAVING THE WESTSIDE. I haven't been out of Pullman in a while so excuse my excitement....
Well I have 5 cases to brief tonight, so I am going to put an end to this procrastination and get motivated on something productive. I will TRY to post one a week, but with the way my schedule is it's hard to find time to even breathe and sleep. So I will definitely not make any promises......
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23
