I was thinking this whole week, “hmmmm, what can I take pictures of to show these lovely people who read my blog what I do allllll week?!” Well, I can tell you that it falls very short of spectacular. What have I done? I have done the following:

1) Bought a very nice oak table with pretty oak chairs to go along with it at a clearance center. (because we are college students who are broke…)

2) Bought a new mattress and box spring which is a plush top. FYI- sleeping on a 30 year old mattress that is a double when you are just married, is awful. Forgive me if I leave out the pictures of the bed…

3) I play the Wii in my spare time. It’s a good way to take a break from homework. Thus, I broke a new record in bowling!! See, here is my proof.

4) I just got a new job. It’s been a lot of interviews and such, along with colds, severe headaches and pain, but all in all the new job will be awesome! I could take a picture of the stack of paperwork that needs to filled out…I’ll spare you.

5) I spend a lot of time with my new husband. (well as much as possible.)

That was us at Disney World for our honeymoon. Yes, you can easily travel and have fun while taking classes. No problem!

6) I do a lot of homework… at home, on my couch, wrapped in blankets, reading on my own time. Classes have never been so relaxing before. Here I am on the couch with my history book…..

I bet you are wondering why the heck I am not doing more spectacular things. Well folks I work full-time and I am a full-time college student. Do you think you would have a lot of time? Nope. It’s also freezing cold outside right now and I would prefer not to hike 14ners in this season because, well, you would get frostbite and/or blown off the mountain due to unpredictable storms. Probably in the spring will you see more rock climbing, hiking, biking, and other fun activities pictures. Basically, what it boils down to is that: I am a normal college student, who is just like you, who makes a living, while trying to get everything else down as well. For me online classes with my pretty green laptop is how I get it all done.

So with more visuals to come, I will continue to take pictures of probably me chilling out at Starbucks or going shopping at Walmart at the time when most students are in class. I am doing a few more trips this semester, so I’ll definitely bring more pictures of those back for you to see.

Hope you are doing well! Cheers!
