wedding band

Here is my ring...I hope you like it...I do!

The benifits of being a poor college student.

There is a picture of my ring with the wax model of the wedding band with it...I love it and it had exceeded my expectations. I will be picking it up on Saterday and will post an actual picture of my ring after that.

There are many benifits to being a poor married college student in America. First there is a little thing called the FAFSA that gives you grants and subsidized loans (subsidized loans you don't have to pay the intrest while you are in school grants you don't have to pay back at all) With the onset of this semester I got enough grants and subsidized loans to pay for my out of state tuition with the addition of another source of help as well. Almost $9,000 all together. Today I recieve an email saying that I have another $2,000 in the mail in a late to reward grant. Oh the joys of being poor...that means that I can pay off my wedding band rather than puting it on credit!! The great thing about this grant is that I can get $4,000 my jr. year and $4,000 my sr. year. I got this supposedly my last semester of my Jr. year missing out on $2,000. At this university I am1 credit shy of being a sr. which gave me the second semester of jr. money...I still have 1 full year of this grant! Needless to say I am very happy today!

pumpkin patch

I don't have the picture of the pumpkin patch, but it was really fun. I was able to go with Endrit and Alex and Brydie and their kids and Cooper and Allie Mae and grandma and grandpa. It was fun to be able to play with the kids that I don't get to see too often. Of course uncle Endrit was the favorite but that is just his personality.
Endrit has been able to get 2 of his 3 grades for this last quarter and so far he is passing with flying colors. A- in inorganic and B in Physical organic...Spectroscopy grade yet to come.
I finnished my first round of teaching. For the most part it went really well. There was one class that got me really frazzled, but tis the life of a teacher in training. The rest I was able to get all the facts inside their little heads. It will be interesting with the second round of lessons.
I am getting an early birthday present. After almost 2.5 years of marriage I am getting my wedding band. We went to the jewlers last weekend and custom designed the band. It will be interesting. I should be able to get the ring on Saturday. The funny thing is that I asked the jewler for a loner ring and they actually gave me one. It is nice that they have things like that so that I can stay looking married without buying another ring.
That is all...pictures probably to come.
