Let the New Year in!

It has been a while since I last posted. Life has been hectic since then. Ben and I just got a new computer and so I can't post any pictures...sorry..they are not on there yet. I have not had time since Ben loves the computer too much...I try to remind him I am the one who worked for it :). Our holidays were all right. It wasn't the best I've ever had. However, our anniversary was last monday and we had a great night. We don't really have a lot of money to spend and we didn't want to go out anywhere since the weather was stinky. I proposed we dress up and have ourselves a fancy dinner at home. Ben's parents were sweet to give us steak and a broiler pan to broil our steaks on. My parents gave us potatoes and beans. So basically the whole meal was provided by our parents. We didn't realize that until we sat down and ate. We do have pictures but I will have to post them together. I wanted to dance but Ben thought I was crazy so we didn't....I was disappointed but I've moved on! :) New Years was all right...I had to work 9 to 5 and Ben worked 5 to 10. I didn't care...New Year's has not always had an appeal for me...just a new year to make goals I guess.....I personally think we shouldn't just make goals at the beginning of the year but constantly make new goals once we acheive our old goals...hope that makes sense.

Ben starts school on January 12th. I don't know if I look forward to it or not. This semester is supposed to be hard. However, I am proud of him for pursuing this and for not giving up no matter if he can hear or not.

I have decided to go back to school and am in the process of applying to the BYU Online General Studies program. I hope all goes well especially with paying for it. We hope to get some grants and scholarships this year.

I can't think of anything else to write so I'll end this post. Hope the holidays were wonderful for everyone who reads this post!!

Sounds like this semester is going to be crazy for you two. It will be here in our home as well. Good luck!

Chennelle...I like your creative New Year's Eve! Hope you are doing well and just know that school will end and Ben will have a career that will make your lives very comfortable. Hang in there! Love you both!

I think that you need to post an update more often because I never seem to see you anymore and don't ever seem to know what's going on. I hope that all goes well for you during this crazy time. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need help with ANYTHING!

Chennelle! I didn't know that you had a blog. It's nice to hear how things are going for the both of you and I'm glad that you enjoyed your anniversary! Dru won't dance with me either so I understand the disappointment.

It sounds like you guys will be having a busy semester. Ben is so smart though, I am sure he will breeze right through it! We were glad that we were able to see you a little over the holidays!

Chennelle... I just saw your link on Terri's blog. You are precious! Thanks for being so candid and sharing! God bless you and Ben... and I agree with the goals...the cool thing about the gospel is that every minute is a new minute... why wait a whole year?

Jason doesn't dance with me either...it must be a Curtis boy thing. Glad to see you have a blog too. Keep it updated, it's fun to see what you're up to
