The Countdown

So I was reading a buddy's blog and along the side named his favorite blogs listed by last update. Sadly to say, we were at the bottom of the list and felt some shame. I guess I have a hard time writing when I don't think many people will read it, but I like the therapeutic nature of writing about anything.

News in our lives?

1. We became certified scuba divers last night! Megan's professor is an instructor and saved us a bunch of money on the lessons. I'm glad we got it done now instead of waiting to get to Bali and then spending much of our trip in class. Boring! Megan keeps bringing up getting gear and diving at many different places. I love her.

While we were in class, I learned to appreciate the Hawaiian blood in her. She loves swimming and the ocean and has no fear. She grew up swimming next to her dad in the ocean surrounding Maui. I, on the other hand, grew up in the desert and only had basic swimming lessons. I'm not so fearless, but these lessons have helped me to face my fears and calm down! What a great match we are!

2. Megan and I are both TAs this semester. I am the sole TA for 375 students taking their second accounting class at BYU. It's fun and I LOVE teaching, but I dislike grading (at least I get paid!) and I hate!!! whiny students. I am amazed at all the lame excuses I hear.

3. Still not pregnant!

4. Still saving for graduate tuition next year. Megan is wonderful because she has been the one to push for me to put away a part of each paycheck. I wasn't as worried, but I think we have enough to graduate debt free! Not many of my classmates can say that.

5. A month left until we leave for Asia. I have found some awesome places to visit. I would say this will be a once-in-a-lifetime trip, but I'm sure it won't be the last.

6. Megan and I are enjoying collecting bottle tops from Coke products that we find around campus. Each has a code that you enter online for points which are exchanged for free Cokes. Looks like other people will be paying for our beverages and the money we save will go toward traveling!

7. We found a place to live in Portland this summer! We'll be living with another accounting in North Portland! The house is small, but we don't care! We'll have our two dogs, the other lady's dog, a cat, 3 people, and happiness! We can't wait. I have a feeling living in Portland will be a bit more enjoyable than living in Davenport!

I guess that's a good update for now. I know the last few posts have been visually boring, but not much to show in Provo. Have a good day!
