The end of the semester is approaching fast… way too fast!  It is amazing how close I am to graduating.  I am having many freaking out moments where I think that I will not be able to finish everything.  I have never failed a class before though, so I know that I will be able to do it, I just have to put my foot down and make myself do everything and finish strong.

I really need to finish all of my cover letters.  I cannot even apply for jobs until I do so, and a job I need to find.

All of our wedding photos are online now.  There are many albums to look at.  Our professional photographers started with over 4000 photos.  There are now 1500+ color corrected and edited photos in an album to look at a bit easier, and I printed and put in albums just under 400 of them.  I will post the link here, but please feel free to let me know you want to look at my photos and we can meet for coffee or something.  I am so excited to show everyone!

Here is the link for the edited photos

Make sure to continue to check OurVows for updates on our life together.

On a sidenote, I joined Gold’s Gym in Woodbury.  My friend Lindsey called me last night and invited me to go.  I am so glad I went because she was able to show me how to use a lot of the weight machines, and if she hadn’t shown me, I don’t think I ever would have used them.  So thanks Lindsey!  Hopefully I can continue to go often and make a difference on my body.

Maybe I want to work in a zoo.

I keep meaning to post interesting things and updates on my life, but I am so stinkin’ busy that I am not doing as well as I had hoped.

And now I am sick, and I took some Tylenol Cold nighttime, so I have no idea what I am writing.

The end.

how long have I
been in this storm
so overwhelmed by the ocean’s shapeless form
water’s getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I’d see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright

I know you didn’t
bring me out here to drown
so why am I 10 feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause I’m so used to living underneath the surface

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright

and I will walk on water
you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
everything’s alright

He squeegees the walls in the shower just like I asked him to when he moved in!  He does it every time he showers.

I think I have maybe done it twice since I have lived here!

I graduate in less than 3 months!  HOLY CRAP!  This means I really have to get my act together and finish all of my homework well and quickly.  Psh yeah right.

I love talking to people.  I think I am pretty good at it and I would like to do a lot of it.  Sometimes it is hard for me to talk to people though that I do not have a topic set up for.  For example, at Justin’s family gatherings I am often quiet.

Bringing those last two paragraphs together… I need to start looking for a job.  Although I do not really want to work ever again in my life, I need to.  I really like expensive things!  Every semester when I register for classes (and when I change majors) I have the entire thing figured out perfectly and I usually have back up plans.  My advisors were always very impressed and I barely needed them to figure anything out for me.  that said, I think I would like being a college academic advisor of some sort.  I would love to work at the U doing so, but you need a masters degree.  So I am thinking about trying to find a job at St. Kates or St. Thomas.  (Those schools because if I go there and decide to get my masters, I can take classes at a discount.)

Also, I love Justin!  Being married is really great.  I do not really feel like a Gehring yet though, I still am a Radabaugh.  I am not sure how that mentality changes, or if it will just happen.  And talking to people about “My Husband” is definitely still weird.  It will all feel normal soon enough!

I have been going to school for approximately 100 years now.  I began this century of schooling by earning A’s because I was great and didn’t need to study or work hard.  I transitioned into not being able to do that, but the problem was I never learned how to properly study, take tests, or do anything at all.

The moral of the story for all of you still in school is:

• Go to class
• Listen and take notes that make sense
• Read the material sooner than later
• Do your homework before 10 hours before its due
• Repeat what you learn however you can- to a friend, to your bunny, or simply by reading it again
• Don’t suck

The end.
