I have been having visions of traveling dancing through my head. Chris interest of study is proving to be a interesting one and full of all sorts of interesting internships and such that he can do.He recently got a email about a 8 week  internship in Kenya next summer which is through some government program,he would be studying carnivorous animals and would be living in a tent,sounds exotic doesn't it? I am not sure how I would survive without him for 8 weeks but the money he earned would have to go towards me going over there and seeing him.:)
Another program we are checking into is the Boren Award which looks fascinating and you get paid to do it,but the catch is you have to pay back a year of your services to the government.I am all over this one,but Chris not as much.:)

School is going great! I love it and am so glad I actually enrolled.:) English is great and I LOVE American Government and am learning a bunch.I am also getting to know kids from school which is great,one girl in particular I am hanging out with a bit,she is super nice and it is fun sitting with her at class.

Just read  this is a amazing book! It made me really think about life and how fragile it is,not just that but what kind of legacy would I try to leave my children if I was in his shoes? It was a easy read but had a lot of meat to it.Some of the language I am not crazy about though.

I also gobbled up again.I have read it several times and yet still love it.I do not think it is quite up there with 'Jane Eyre' but it is excellent and I can relate to it.

'Tis the last days of summer

What craziness that summer is almost over and yet in some ways I am looking forward to Fall with cooler weather,school starting and all sort of adventures around the corner.
School starts for me on Monday which I am VERY excited and only a tad nervous about.I have wanted to go to school for some time now and it feels great to be moving forward and not just talking about it. I really owe a lot to Chris who encourages me and believes in me when I do not believe in myself. I have always been a bit of a dreamer but Chris helps me to act on those dreams and not let fear get in the way,he is a such a big support and that along with many other reasons is what makes me love him so much.:)

I have been have almost too much fun with couponing and watching deals.On our date day yesterday Chris was a perfect angel and went to CVS and Walgreens with me twice so we could get those great deals in the picture.I spent $10.13,saved $44.11 and on average spent .78 cents on each item.Not too bad considering that we certainly use shampoo,conditioner,deodorant, razors and toothpaste.The candy we do not *need* but it was pretty cheap so it was hard to resist and Chris tore into it right away.:)
So I am officially addicted to couponing and saving money,it is great fun to see how much you can save and I am hoping to do my weekly CVS,Walgreens and Target once a week while Chris is at school.

Our date day yesterday was so much fun! We went out to eat at  Grunauer which is a Austrian restaurant that is fairly new to the area.It was super good and we had a grand time eating and talking.We then went to the Genealogy library and had fun looking up family.We have been going over family history since we started courting so thought this would be the perfect free date and it was! We are wanting to go back once we gather up more information on both sides of the family.

I have been checking into studying abroad,maybe it is just one of my many dreams but it is something I have always wanted to do and with both of us being in school at the same time it is a possibility. I was looking into scholarships and their are quite a few available so it has gotten my hopes up and even though I am trying to not dream too much it is exciting to think about.If we did do it we would probably go to either New Zealand or Australia as Chris would have a lot more to do in the Biology field plus I would love it.
Who knows what the future hold but it is exciting to think about!:)
