School, Work, Wedding Dresses, and Birth Control

This semester for me has been different due to the fact that two of my four classes are strictly online. Not that I'm complaining - I actually enjoy them the same (but on a different level) as my lecture classes. But...

...with "work" its been hard to find time to get them done. My Fundamentals of Fitness class is pretty routine. I read the chapter at some point during the week, go online and do about 100 (literally) flash card -type questions, most of the time do some sort of Lab (for instance, this past week I had to visit a health club place and find out costs, amenities, and equipment), then I take a test - all of which is due every Sunday night at midnight. Simple enough. Really...

Then I have my Geography class... F!U!N! Like, seriously! I LOVE that class... but that schedule is all cally-wompus! Luckily, I was able to get all the assignments done within the first two weeks of "class." The studying and reviews for the tests are kind of my biggest complaint. The first test was easy peasy, but there were 250-ish pages to reach in four weeks. There's less reading for each next test, but a lot more questions. Which is cool - but these last three tests are due within two weeks of each other. And with Grandpa (that'll be another blog) its be REALLT difficult to get going. I only seem to get homework done when I'm with Ava (a HUGE suprise for me)! He's my bringer-back-down-to-earther!

Thursday Ava went with me to Beaumont to have my dress fitted! I thought I loved the ivory-champagne version of my dress... the white version is GORGEOUS!! And the (totally straight) seamster that helped me Mormonize it was AMAZING!! David's Bridal in Beaumont - y'all ROCK!

Its going to be so beautiful! Can't wait until I can use it!

The topic of babies vs birth control has been on my mind lately - and still is, pretty heavily!

Ava wants a baby, but not until I'm done with school. That could be December 2015 or May 2016. It FEELS so long away, but is in less than three years. Really not that bad.

I'm feeling the feva' for a baby... and some of the comments he's made, he's thinking a baby is near in the future.

Anyway, Thursday I brought up the topic of me/us using birth control or just letting things happen when... they happen. At first he was all like, "You do what you want to do." I told him that if I did what I wanted to, I wouldn't get on birth control, quit school (for now) and have a baby. BUT... :\ if he was really serious and adament about not having a baby until I graduated, then I would be willing to wait.

So, we (kinda) both decided to use birth control until after I graduated with my Bachelor's, then we'd begin trying to have a baby.

Lame... Not the decision I really wanted, but one that is mature and makes a lot of sense. Lamer...
