It's great to have time to write again. The past month has been just too busy. I realized that pretty quickly when I decided to give Mary Kay a try. It added just one more thing to my already hectic-but-doable life, knocking everything out of balance and making me a little crazy. I guess I'll talk about that first then. I have enjoyed learning about Mary Kay, having my own business, and conducting parties. And, its true, there is money to be made. It's a great product that pretty much sells itself if you get it in front of the right people. Its flexible while I am in school and I think it will be a fun way to make some extra income and help pay the bills. But, I don't know that I am going to be turning it into my full time job anytime soon. 

Phil is busy applying to Grad School and more than anything I just want to know where we are going to be next fall. There is a good chance we will be staying right here in Salt Lake as he has applied to both the U and Westminster. I would be fine with that. I like the area and LOVE our Ward and would be happy to stay a few years longer. He also applied to Thunderbird (a university focused on International Business) in Arizona and to the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. I of course would not mind returning to my home soil :). 

I have two more semesters until I graduate! I officially finished my classes for Fall semester yesterday and am so looking forward to some time off before Spring semester starts. Though, I am looking forward to the classes I will be taking next semester. I will be taking Intro to Finance/Investments, International Communications, Spanish Literature, and Age of Total War (all about communism, fascism, and WWII-a time and topics that have always been interesting to me, especially since my time living in Russia). I already ordered a bunch of my textbooks, none of which were too expensive this time, except for my Finance book. The cheapest I can find it is $130 USED on Amazon! I still have plenty of time to get it so I am going to wait and see if I can find a better deal. 

Phil and I will be flying down to New Mexico next week. I am going a few days before him (he didn't want to take too much time off work) and then we will both be there until New Year's Eve. I can't wait to see my family and spend time with them. My mom and I are already planning the fun crafts and activities we are going to do while we are down there, and it will just be nice to be home for Christmas.

Well, I sure unloaded a lot of information for one post, but I felt like I needed to do a little catching up, so it felt good to get it all out. I'm looking forward to more time and more posting soon.
