Conan. How do I miss thee.

The story so far

Wow, has it been that long since I posted something on here? Yeah, I apologize but I have to admit that the past year has been a busy one. I got married last October and the year was chaotic to say the least. And it hasn't let up since. We've been so busy we haven't really had a honeymoon. I got time off from work and talked to my professors (who are about as forgiving as professors can be). I had a lovely weekend on the coast with my new husband but it was back to the grindstone almost immediately.

I am a full time college student in addition to working anywhere from 20-30 hours a week. At the moment, I am definitely out of balance. I make sure to get a caffeine fix for the early morning classes and make sure I don't murder a co-worker. You might think "Wow, so this is how married life is going for you?" And I'll admit, things are a little tough on us right now. But I have turned a new leaf. I know we aren't going to always live with roommates in a crappy house. I know we aren't always going to wish that we could have a full fledged honeymoon. This is all temporary. Right now, I definitely have to appreciate the little things. This could be watching an episode of a TV show with Jeremy after a long days' work, or having a beer with Jeremy and seeing who can make the stupidest face (I usually end up winning). The point is this: the little things matter so much to me. I keep driving towards all these goals but I need to stop and take it all in, no matter how minute things may seem.

In closing, I have some random pics such as our first Thanksgiving and Christmas. Enjoy the story so far:
