Missing the Music

So I was at home cleaning today just listening to music. And of course I was singing my heart out to it all. There's nothing like good ol' country and belting out to it. :) As I was singing, it made me realize just how much I miss it. I haven't really done any singing anymore and I miss it so much. Which made me start thinking about the piano. I can't express how deeply I miss being able to sit down at the piano and just release everything. I realize now just how badly I took for granted having a piano downstairs in my home. I know I haven't really had any formal lessons but I love it so much and I wish we had a piano sooo bad! I used to write songs all the time, or I would just sit down at the piano and play whatever I felt-it was so therapeutic. I haven't done that in a long time... I just really miss the music that used to consume so much of my life.
Anyway, so many changes have occurred recently. Changes regarding school and work, at least. After a lot of thought and prayer we have made a decision. I am stopping school after this semester so that I can work full time to put Spencer through school. With him trying to go into film and get into the film program, it just is too hard for him to work while trying to do everything else he needs to. In order for him to get the experience and resume he needs, he needs to be able to just focus on school and be able to work on student film projects so that he can get hands on experience. That is what filmmakers looks at, but if he is working while going to school it will make it a lot harder for him to get the experience he needs.
So I will start working full time the week of finals. I only have one final to take, which I can take the saturday before the full week of finals, so it will be great. I am actually quite excited to just work. I am to get more experience with my job, since I hope to someday have my own floral business (when we move away from here).
Now aside from all of that, we are doing pretty well. A little stressed with the end of the semester, but we are doing well. We had a great day today! I picked Spencer up from campus and we ate at a new diner in Provo which was super yummy! Then we went to the park and watched the ducks (my favorite!), then tossed the frisbee around and just had lots of fun together. Then we went to Hobby Lobby and just had a blast meandering around. We actually got stuff to do tie dye shirts which I am super excited about! haha. But life is going well. We are loving the married life and enjoying it to the fullest!

  1. Oh girlie, please don't quit school! It's so so so awesome that you want to help support Spencer, you guys are such a loving couple and it's great that you have each other's backs like that. But take it from someone that never went to college and is now a stay at home mum...it will make you very vulnerable. If anything ever happened to Josh, I don't know what me and the kids would do. Have you considered maybe taking out student loans so that Spencer can just focus on school that way? I know it stinks thinking of paying back all that money after wards, but you would both walk away with degrees, so it would be easier to pay them back. And once they're gone, you'll be in such a great position! Ya know I love ya and just want the best for you guys! *hugs* -Gail
