Well readers, as usual, it has been far too long since my last post.
School started last week, and I am happy to say I am back in the classroom this semester. I am enrolled full time, and add that to my two jobs that I have, I am a very busy woman indeed. I find if I am super busy it is easier to keep up with everything I need to do. As they say, here goes nothing...
Financial aid, as usual, has been a total lifesaver. We paid off some debts we had, finally whipped our office into shape, and got a much needed software update. House-wise, all that is left is getting the rest of our boxes unpacked. Sadly they are mostly only half-packed now, and a lot of what is still in boxes is books, which now have a new home on our bookshelf.
Peach days starts today, and I am excited we are going. We are still trying to decide whether or not to take Sally, because she is due to go into heat any day, and we aren't ready to have granddogs yet. I'm just excited to see my mom more than anything. I haven't seen her in weeks.
Sky and I have made it another month without getting pregnant. Needless to say I am very happy about that. Granted, the idea of having a little us becomes increasingly less horrifying the longer we are together, but I'm still just not quite ready to be a mom. We are talking about trying when I am done with school or within a semester of being done with school.
So there's a timeline for you. I know some people out there are starting to worry because we have been married over a year and still no talk of a little Gubler on the way. We just aren't really in a hurry to start a family. We are only 24. There is plenty of time to make a baby still.
Anyway, I am now in my Lifespan Development class, and I think it's best to pay attention. Coincidentally, we are talking about conception today.
Keep it real readers.

Oddly Deep Insight From an ABC Family Movie...
Well readers, get ready for a trip.
A few nights ago, I was folding laundry when I decided to thumb through Netflix to find something to watch to pass the time, when a title called "My Future Boyfriend" popped up. I thought to myself, "What the heck, it's kinda short, so I might as well." It turned out to be an ABC Family original movie, starring the deliciously curvaceous Sarah Rue (I have a thing for redheads, what can I say?) so I decided to stick it out.
It's about a man from 1000 years in the future where love doesn't exist anymore, and everyone is ruled by reason and logic. It was all very Vulcan. However, this man discovers an old romance novel, reads it, and has all kinds of questions that no one seems to have the answers to. So he decides to travel back in time to the year 2011 to meet the author and receive all these answers about love and sex. Anyway he meets the author, and in his pursuit for knowledge and understanding of foreign concepts, he ends up falling in love with her.
Where I found my insight was at an interesting point. The author becomes engaged to her longtime boyfriend, and while future man is bemoaning the loss of this woman he has fallen for, who has also fallen for him, but feels stuck because she has been with this man she is engaged to for so long, author woman's coworker talks about how author woman met her boyfriend. They met when he caught her hat just before it fell into a river on a windy day. He says, "Sometimes falling in love is about being in the right place at the right time to find that right person."
Then my brain exploded.
If I hadn't gone to that party at the end of May 2010 at Lindsay Ferrin's house, and played "Baby do you love me," and felt this strange spark inside of me as I leaned in close to Skyler's face, I don't know where I would be now. If I hadn't gone to the movies a few weeks after that with my friend Cherisa to see the karate kid, I wouldn't have sat next to him and shared my apple chips and talked to him the whole time, which led me to want to hug him at the end of the night. Three weeks after that was our first date, and five months after that he asked me to marry him.
Sometimes you just have to let yourself be led, because next thing you know, you are standing in front of the one person who will love you in spite of yourself, who will hold you when you are upset no matter how much you thrash and fight to allow you to calm down.
Well readers, that's all for me.
Keep it real.
