17 more weeks to go....

Zane made it through a month of this crazy academy already. It's tough and hard on him, but I think he is finally seeing a light at the end of this crazy dark tunnel of hard labor. After anxiety in the morning, and terrible night sweats, I rearranged the furniture in the room and the bed so he can have "his spot" and it seems to be getting better. He has been sleeping better and not feeling so crappy in the morning, and best of all, the bed is not soaked in his sweat... nasty.

School has been kicking my butt. Two online biology courses and they are fast paced. I have to do my last midterm next week, and then I am half way through this! ya... don't know how I am going to cover the lymphatic through the rest of the body systems in the next 4 weeks, but I will do my best.

Got to love this weather and being up in the mountains. I have been hiking 4-5 times a week for 2 hours each in the mountains and its keeping me sane. Its good to get out of the house, to take a break from homework. The weekends bring us lots of wildlife to our backyard. we have seen so many deer in our backyard, sometimes 4-5 at a time looking for fruit and nuts that our neighbors leave for them.

Some days I watch too many design shows and have to rearrange my furniture, three times this month, and hang up pictures finally. And I also painted the white walls that badly needed a fresh coat of paint. I would like to tackle the upstairs bedrooms because anything leaves a mark on the walls and its just really old. Not a characteristic i like.

My friend Katie has been so nice to me. We hang out a few times a week or at least once to get out of los alamos to go to santa fe or espanola walmart! She is starting a boutique that I hope I can help her out with. Its in white rock, and she will be selling her stuff in a booth along with many other people in a store that is connected to a portrait studio. I hope it turns out good for her. Maybe I can try to make some extra money from that since I don't make any money right now.. Its been so weird not having a job, but I don't know how I would have the time to work with school and zanes academy. Those are jobs themselves. Being a housewife.... its a change. haha

This slow paced life has got us thinking more about kids. When to have them?? If things work out with the academy we might plan on having them sooner than later. Crazy... maybe we should get a dog first.... but we can't have a dog where we live now. bummer.
