Ok so I'm really behind. I knew this would happen. I did so well keeping up my blog during the summer but I knew as soon as school started again it would be hard to stay on top. Well just so you know so far I'm doing a pretty good job of keeping my back to school resolutions. I'm getting some collateral done, and starting on one of my term papers. I did take fewer classes, and cut down on my work schedule. I've also been getting up early every morning to walk before class. There are a few things like the outside reading that don't look like their gonna happen. Then there are other things like the extra practice time that I have had a hard time feeling motivated to do. And of course it's been a whole new experience trying to maintain a relationship in the middle of my whirlwind of school, work, church, and family. This life never ceases to be challenging. just when you think you have the hang of it, something shakes your world.

So now I'm gonna fill you in on some stuff. A few weeks ago, about four weeks, Nolan and I went to the Butler gardens for a date. It was really pretty and we had a great time. We took several pictures of the two of us too.

The lighting was challenging but they didn't turn out too bad. It was pretty crazy though cause we didn't have anyone to take the pictures for us so Nolan set up his tripod, put the camera on a timer, and ran back and forth. But we had fun.
