| There's a light at the end of this tunnelSo, one week of classes left, finals, and then I am through with this semester! I honestly never thought I'd make it this far. But, looking back it wasn't that bad. Not that I'd do it again. Has anyone ever read "A Doll's House"? I got completely chewed out by my professor for saying that Nora was selfish for leaving. But she was. And when I have children I hope that I am a good mom! | | |
| What was I thinking?!Okay, remember in my last entry when I said that I was "ready to be more productive"? Someone please slap that girl. I do not want to be productive! I want to sit down and sleep for about a week and then catch up on my reading and favorite TV shows, talk to my friends and family for the first time in a long time, cook homemade meals, clean my house, and generally be a carefree, fun-loving person again. I love my job. I moderately enjoy school. But when you combine the two they equal one stressed out Krystal. The good thing is that I have discovered how much I truly enjoy the early childhood age and I am planning on changing my major to early childhood education. That encompasses pre-school, kindergarten, and first grade. They're so sweet and precious! This is by far my favorite job I have ever had. My dear, loving husband has had to abruptly adjust to taking care of himself once again. Not that I was perfect when I was at home, but for the most part I cooked, cleaned, did laundry, made him snacks, and generally doted on him. Now I walk in at 5:00 every evening and I am exhausted. It's hard to make myself do my HOURS of homework, let alone dote on my husband. But, he is exceptional and is very supportive. All in all, I'm surviving. Not quite thriving, but I'm getting there. | | |
| Summer Days, drifting away...So, this summer has been l-o-n-g so far. I know I am going to regret saying this in a couple of months when I am swamped and desperate for a break, but I can't wait for school to start! Not only so I can begin my classes, but also so I can start subbing again (and have extra cash flow!). This had been a wonderful year so far but I am ready to be a little more productive.
I have officially been married for a year now! I hope it's true about the first year being the hardest because ours was a piece of cake. If that's as bad as it gets, then I am pretty dang excited about the future.
Friday we went home for my brothers' birthday party. Both Jacob and Caleb's fall in the same week so they had a big bonfire and fireworks party Friday night. It was really fun to spend time with everyone. Jacob is like a little person now and he's got such a wonderful personality. It's neat because I am at the point where I consider my family more like a group of best friends. Saturday my dad took Jacob and Grant golfing and I went to get my hair done by Natasha. I think it looks pretty snazzy. I got some blonde and layers around my face. Grant said I should "Go for the gusto" and completely change everything, but I am a big baby.
Anyway, only a month until school starts and I turn 21! Any fun suggestions for staying busy?

| I think I hurt my back today. I taught my first "Fun in the Son!" summer class (yes, "Son" is the way it is spelled...you know, Jesus?) and for our gym time they had brought in these giant obstacle course bouncy blow up things. I'm sure they have proper names but I can't tell you what they are.
I wasn't planning on actually climbing around on the inflatables but fourteen 3rd and 4th graders had other plans. Anyway, I was flinging myself around on them like I was a 9 year old myself and now my 20 year old back is paying for it.
But it was really fun.
Anyway, I've been alternating back and forth between being insanely busy and mind numbingly bored. Okay, the boredom is actually pretty nice when it comes. Some days I am out the door early in the morning and I drag myself in late at night and then other days I have hours to organize my house, catch up on my favorite TV shows, read half a book in one sitting, workout for an hour and a half, etc. It's makes life interesting, that's for sure.
Speaking of working out, I am pretty darn proud of myself. I go at least four times a week, sometimes even five or six. I've been alternating between running (I'm slowly building my distance up), bicycling (want to burn some serious calories and work your glutes?), and the elliptical machine (pretty much the most exhausting workout ever). Then I also add in Pilates and weight lifting on alternating days. And it's not like I just started. I'm on my fifth week of this and I haven't lost my motivation even slightly.
I don't have a working scale so I am going off of my clothing and how I feel. It's actually pretty freeing to live life like this. There's not as much pressure. Anyway, I can now wear clothes that have sat in my dresser for over a year and I'm really happy with that.
Okay, life calls.

| Grant and I have officially been married for ten months today! It feels like it has flown by. I'm a little sad to think of our first year ending but I know it's only the beginning.
This weekend is a Parris family slumber party. It began with me inviting everyone over for lunch on Mother's Day and turned into a whole weekend of fun! I am really excited...I miss my family a lot living out here. I love it in Piedmont but sometimes it can get a bit lonely. I wish Lilli and my family could move out here with me. Then it would be perfect! As long as they lived in a different house of course. 
I've agreed to teach a class at the church during the summer for third and fourth graders. It should be really fun. I don't have to get into any technical things, just do all of the fun projects you have to leave out during the school year. I'm looking forward to being a stay at home wife this summer. Substituting is great but a whole summer of working one day a week is going to be awesome. And then it is back to school. I've enrolled in 18 hours for the fall semester at UCO. I have to take a bunch of math and science classes because of the discrepancy between their requirements and NSU's. I can't say I'm thrilled about that but it will work out.
Okay, time for directory photos!
