Fancy Pants?...

Wow, it has been a long while since I last blogged. Well no need to fear, I am writing one today!
I have many things to write about so I will just dive into it then....

Quentin and I have recently moved to a cheaper place and on the other side of Rexburg. We are further from campus, the grocery store, and his office but closer to the temple. Good thing we have a wonderful car to get us to these places. We like our new place. It is smaller than our old place but we have managed to make room for all of our stuff.
All the walls are white and we can't paint them so we have to put of pictures and other wall hangings to add color. We got rid of a couch because it wouldn't be able to fit anywhere in our apartment so now we only have two couches. Oh and the couch we got rid of was donated instead of put in a dumpster or on the side of the road. The floors are mostly tile which is easier I guess because we don't use the vacuum as much. At our old apartment we enjoyed the huge kitchen space, two sinks, and lots of cabinets. In our new apartment there is very limited space and so we have to cramp foods and dishes together. We also only have one sink which makes it hard to hand wash dishes. We tried to use the dish washer but it just doesn't do well with cleaning and making it sparkle.
The bathroom is huge. The managers said that it was a handicapped bathroom so there is a lot of open space and shelves. There are two bedrooms, one really small one and one really big one. We sleep in the "master" bedroom.
We are enjoying our new place and are happy that it is way cheaper! We can now start saving money to build our dream house! Haha.

I am in school this semester and I am loving it. I have declared my cluster which is kind of like a minor but less credits. I still need to declare my major. But my cluster is in Culinary Arts. I am taking a lot of food and nutrition classes right now. I get confused on my homework because I am basically learning the same things in each class just with an emphasis in different areas. So I get confused on what is due in which class. But I am managing. I am also taking a money management class. This past week I learned how advertising works and how to not become a victim of fraud advertising. I am taking a sewing construction class too and right now I am making a pillow case. I am so proud of myself. Our next assignment is going to be pajama pants. I have never sewed this much in my life. AND I LOVE IT!
I have good grades so far. In one of my classes online it shows that I have a fifty seven percent. I was kind of angry when I saw that and questioned why I have that grade. I have done all the homework, shown up to class on time, and I listen and focus in class. One day in class one of the other students raised their hand and asked why they have a low grade and then everyone was making noises and wondering that too. The teacher said, "That our grades are based on points and we start from the bottom up. So right now it might look like you have an F but really you don't. It will add up as the semester goes on and the points will accumulate."
So after I heard that I felt better about myself.
I am meeting a lot of new people and I like having new friends. I sometimes get bored of my old ones. No offence to anyone!
I am taking a Health and Wellness class. I have to write in a wellness journal in five aspects: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual. I have to make small goals each day. I love doing this because it has so far made me more aware of what I do and don't do to reach the fullest of each wellness area.

Right now I am obsessed with three things.
I am obsessed with this website called Pinterest. At first I didn't know a thing about it and I heard a lot of people talking about it and how awesome it was. So I naturally had to figure out what they were talking about. I got online and entered their website. Low and behold, I am now one of those women talking about it nonstop and always accessing it to see their new favorites. Pinterest is like a pin board or a blog where it is accessible to everyone. They put stuff that they like on their and share with others. They have food recipes, old clothes ideas, quotes, and other nice things. I usually visit it before I do my homework. I am trying to get my husband into it. I am slowly.
My next obsession is this app that I have on my phone. Can anyone guess what it is? No, I didn't think y'all would. It is solitaire.  Funny huh? For some reason it is more fun to play it on my phone than on the computer. I play it ALL the time. I feel like I ignore Quentin sometimes because I am usually looking at my phone and not his eyes. I don't think I have offended him too much because he has installed the solitaire app too. So now we sit next to each other playing solitaire. I just looked at my stats and it says that I have won eighty six games and I have attempted five hundred and twenty games. I am just a little obsessed :)
My third obsession is my husband. Y'all should have guessed it. I am so in love with Quentin. I know I talk about him a lot but he is just so amazing that I have to talk about him. He and I have recently made goals to exercise and watch what we eat. We exercise every morning and every night before we eat. My body is sore but I feel better about myself and I can't wait to see the results of my body. Watching what I eat is hard. I noticed that I eat a lot of junk food and snacks. I have to watch what Quentin eats because he doesn't do it for himself.
I love setting goals with my husband and working through them together. It makes us a team. We also learn more about each other when we set goals. I love learning more about my husband. Each time I am always amazed with him. I am appreciating him more and more. His spirit is so powerful and strong and I find that attractive.  I am glad that he is a worthy priesthood holder and that I can ask him anytime for a blessing. I love going to the temple with him. I love snuggling next to him on the couch and falling asleep. Haha, I even like him carrying me to bed when I have fallen asleep on the couch. He is such an incredible man and I am grateful that he is mine. I think I am more obsessed with him than anything else.
