Coulda' Woulda' Shoulda'

The title is how I feel about writing on my blog! I cannot believe how crazy life gets and it goes by SO fast! We are already at mid-terms...I have no idea where the first half of the semester went! LJ and I are doing well in school. We love BYU-Idaho! We haven't had anytime to relax until this past weekend. We went to LJ's parents house for the 3 day weekend and it was AMAZING! They always pamper us when we visit! We had a blast eating, watching the olympics, eating, shopping, eating, relaxing, eating...did I mention that we ate A LOT? I think we came back 10lbs heavier! As much as we love school it is always nice to get away! We didn't do anything too special for Valentine's Day...LJ bought me 2 roses and some chocolate covered strawberries and he wrote me the sweetest note EVER! In a nut shell it said that he feels bad that he couldn't afford to buy me anything big or take me out to a fancy restaurant but that I will always have his heart! CUTE CUTE CUTE HUSBAND!!!!! Coming back to Rexburg has been rough - reality is never as fun as relaxation! We have been a bit disoriented and our house would prove that - it is a mess! But, I think we are getting back into the groove of things. I am heading down to Vegas next weekend for Becca Stewart's wedding - woo hoo! I am excited to go home, but LJ isn't going down with me - that is going to be awful! He has so much going on though so I don't blame him. OH, while we were in Utah, LJ had a conversation via webcam with his mission president. President Anderson is a very VERY successful business man and has spent 28 years in China doing so. LJ told President Anderson that his goal is to be a corporate lawyer and that he is interested in working in Hong Kong. President Anderson said that the market for corporate law is BOOMING in Hong Kong and that if he does well in his undergrad and goes on to a prestigious Law Program then he will have no problem getting a job in Asia...WOW WOW WOW!!!! That scared me to death at first, but after discussing it I don't think it sounds so awful. It would be a huge change for me and I would be nervous to be so far away from the U.S. but I think it could be amazing! We wouldn't have any financial problems and there is a temple in Hong Kong. Maybe LJ and I would have neat opportunities to serve the Lord over there. We aren't planning on moving to Hong Kong but it is a possibility! Who knows, maybe in a few years I will be blogging from China! Well, I hope everyone is doing well! I love you all!

Sorry I haven't written in a while, life has been crazy! With work, school, chores, and trying to spend time together - my blog has fallen through the cracks. So, now it's time for an update!

We are still going to bed at 8pm and waking up at 3am every morning. I don't think my body will ever adjust. Once we get home from school we do homework after which we are so tired that we usually eat dinner, clean the house a bit and go to bed. LJ and I are both part of the Student Representative Council (SRC) this semester and we have meetings Tuesday night. LJ hopes to run for student body president next summer (2011). I am participating in Opera Scenes and have rehearsals on Wednesday and Thursday nights until 7:45. LJ is working as a teacher's assistent for a few hours in the afternoons - he never complains but I'm sure he feels overwhelmed. We are trying to keep up on our social lives, but it's difficult when we go to bed so early. We have Jake and Bre Bierstedt over about once every two weeks, we see our friends Todd and Ashleigh at our SRC meetings are we are actually going to their house on Sunday for a Super Bowl party - YAY - And we spend as much time as we can with our friends Chris and Audrey Lambert - in fact we are going over to their house tomorrow night for Navaho tacos - mmmm! We got a new TV this week which is VERY exciting! Yesterday we got all of our homework done early and watched the Dark Knight! It was AWESOME! We love the new TV!
I always end my posts this way - I LOVE LJ! He is the greatest husband I could have ever hoped for! He really is my dream man! I hope you all are doing great! Love You!
