quick update

Sorry it's been a while, things have been crazy, no really they have. Today I didn't even get a chance to sit at my desk at work, then I had to leave for school and had about 25 minutes to study for a lab test (which I have a mid-term for on Thursday), I've had a nasty head/sinus cold thingy going on for a week now which I'm losing my voice over (luckily Dan thinks it's kind of sexy), I have craft projects screaming my name, and a major career decision to make within the next week... maybe this is why I'm not prego yet? I think things will settle down soon but if anyone knows of any good relaxation techniques, please share! I think I did well on my lab test and my mid-term will be over with soon enough, I'm hoping to expel this cold by Thursday thanks to a hot bath and sleep, we no longer have to prepare lessons for Sunday School as we're now in the nursery, I'll work on my craft stuff on Saturday, and I'm leaving the career decision up to Heavenly Father... although I'm pretty sure of the direction I'm supposed to go. I have somewhat forsaken yoga due to time constraints but am planning to schedule it in once it's gets too cold to run outside. Oh, and I have a trip to see my family in AZ to look forward to, along with the holiday season! Also, Dan is the best husband EVER and has lovingly assumed the role of housekeeper in doing the laundry, dishes, making dinner, and even rubbing my back to help me fall asleep. That's right ladies, he's the best and he's all mine!
