Conversations with a studious husband

Okay, I understand that I am totally wasting away here at my house killing time--surfing the web, blog-stalking, all the good stuff. JD meanwhile, is supposed to be studying in the other room, although he seems to get really distracted some days. Today however, this is what he says:

"Ya know Charise, there are lots of things that you could be getting done right now. Things that need to be done. Do you want me to make you a list?"

Me from the computer room: "Nope, I'm good."

JD: "Are you sure? Because If I didn't have to study, I would do the dishes. I also might do the laundry. Maybe I would sand down this door too. Ya know, I think that I might wash off all the vegetables from the garden, too....." (This continues on until I make some groaning noises).

Another good story from today:

Me: "JD, it's late. You could have had all your studying done by now."

JD: "I do have most of my studying done."

Me: "I don't think so. Remember that nap we took around noon? That probably didn't help much. I think that puts you at like 3 or 4 hours today-that's it."

JD: "I'm pretty sure I woke up during my nap and read through my notes, though. So that counts."

Me: "Yep, I bet reading through your notes between sleeping was really effective since you can't even stay awake at the hard table let alone on a soft couch between cat naps..."

The adventures of JD and I alone in a house for 2 months continue.... join us next time for:

"What time is dinner?....."

Dropped off the face of the planet???

Yes, it really has been 3 months since my last update, and a lot has happened. (Sorry!)

Number one:

We've moved! JD and I now live in the St. George area right near my work--walking distance actually. It has been WONDERFUL to not have to commute 2 hours every day. Life is good. We are enjoying the extra space here--we have upgraded to a house with a garage, laundry room, extra bedroom (not for long), and a backyard. We are loving it. There is also a clubhouse with pools, work-out room, and tennis courts. It is nice to go swimming down here since it is already so hot! (P.S. This is my excuse for the lack of blogging: our internet here is very sketchy, and when we have it, it's very slow. So I've been too lazy to spend hours blogging the past few uh..

months.)

Number two:

JD graduated! My sweet, hard-working husband has finally moved on with his bachelor degree in Biology/Zoology from SUU. I am so proud of how hard he worked and his dedication to his studies. He will make a great dentist someday.

Number three:

Speaking of dentist, that's what has been occupying lots of our time recently. JD and I have been working on getting his dental applications done, and boy is it a lot of work! Can you remember every single one of your daily activities since you graduated high school? That's basically what they ask for--plus how each of those activities has helped you and a description of each (in as much detail as you can.) Don't forget every name, date, and address. Whew! Oh, did I mention that to apply to the 16 or so dental school is in the THOUSANDS of dollars? Ouch! Talk about a hit to the wallet. Now we are done with the application though, and on to bigger and better things....more studying!! That brings me to

Number four:

You would have thought that after graduation the studying would be done, right? Wrong. JD's every waking moment is spent studying for the Dental Admissions Test. Yay. He will take that sometime at the end of this month. Hopefully then we can actually have some fun this summer in the beautiful St. George.

Number five:

If you haven't heard it through the grapevine yet, we're expecting! We will be having a little boy at the end of October (hopefully not on Halloween). I am 20 weeks along(4 1/2 months for those who don't get weeks) as of the beginning of this week, and finally starting to show (to people who know me). We are still working on names, so if you have any brilliant ones, send them over this way.

Number six:

School is out, my classroom is clean, and I am bored out of my mind. I don't have much of a husband lately since he is studying every minute of the day, so if you are ever down in the St. George area, PLEASE call! I'd love some company. I'll even take you on a complementary trip to Zion since we have a year-pass...come visit!
